I thought we had moved past this trend of news quoting anonymous US government officials who claim Russia is interfering in ‘X’ country but apparently I thought wrong. uk.reuters.com/article/uk-chi…

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Has it occurred to anyone that anonymous Trump admin State Dept officials might not be trustworthy? Does any and every statement they release go out on the international wire service or is there some level of vetting/confirming such claims that happens?
Claiming Russia is interfering in 'x' country/social unrest is also a form of interference. And when such a claim goes out in the US media it's arguably more influential than anything Russia could do.

On May 15, a troll campaign targeting journalists who report on the far-right was tweeted in a thread by Eoin Lenihan that was then amplified by right wing blogs & social media influencers. I graphed it.

User-to-user graph of 12,426 tweets mentioning @EoinLenihan May 6 to June 2
I talked to @JaredHolt for @CJR about it at the time: cjr.org/analysis/quill…
Lenihan named several journalists & activists, included photos of their Twitter bios and a graph showing Twitter follower networks. He claimed the graph proved the journalists were collaborating in some nefarious way with antifascists. My May 18 debunk:

I've got 99 problems with "Russian social media" reports but this tweet misrepresents what Edgett's testimony said which is maybe why said testimony is not linked along with the screenshot. judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…

My previous thread on the same testimony:
That tweet is part of a thread about how the DNC and not Russia delegitimized the democratic process, arguably some things can be said about that too. However (apologies in advance I'm gonna be that person) this ain't it.
The snippet of Edgett's testimony mentions "As described in greater detail below" so here's the greater detail:

48% of #DNCLeak tweets were hidden because they were detected by Twitter's automated systems. "Russian-linked" tweets that were hidden were only 2% of the total.

October 2019 Ratings: Fox News Marks 40 Straight Months at the Top of the Basic Cable Heap adweek.com/tvnewser/octob…
"Fox News hosts Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson reigned supreme in the Thursday night ratings, with the former taking back the first place slot and the latter dropping to second after an impressive showing on Wednesday." mediaite.com/tv/sean-hannit…
Truly mind-boggling how right wing media dominate cable news, MAGA networks dominate social media, Trump is in charge of the White House, yet somehow the right are being silenced and persecuted by nefarious leftists.

The representative for the #Netherlands is trying to shame #Russia into not using its veto to defend Bashar al-Asad's "mass atrocities". Best of luck ....
Amb. @nikkihaley asked about gas attacks and then attacks on the first-responders: "Who does this? Only a monster does this."

#Russia's hands are "covered in the blood of Syrian children", the Ambassador says, and "cannot be ashamed ... we have tried that before."
Amb. @nikkihaley attacks #Russia for its backing of #Asad, something "no civilized government" would do; its help in directing the siege-and-starve campaigns in #Syria; and its assistance to the broader war crimes.

The U.S. "will not be held hostage" to Moscow's veto.
