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.

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.

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.

We are all the victims of an insidious campaign of psychological warfare—a relentless battery of lies, denials, contradictions and projections—perpetrated on the American people by the traitor Trump and his seditious collaborators.

[THREAD]
1/ The objective is to wear us down and exhaust our mental & emotional resources, so we doubt our own memories, perception, belief, reality. As Trump himself deteriorates, his lies grow more outlandish, his boasts more batshit.
2/ His enablers have no choice but to go along with him. His kids, Pence, Pompeo, Mulvaney, McConnell, Jordan, Gaetz, Nunes, Conway, Huck-Sanders, etc. All along for the ride, piloted by a demented buffoon.

[Mar 6, 2018] The disastrous ratings at @CNN continue to trend downward, suggesting that their Trump/Russia conspiracy obsession is falling flat with the general public.

dailywire.com/news/27880/cnn…
[4/16/2019] CNN had its lowest primetime weekly ratings overall and in the key age demographic last week, according to Nielsen Media Research.

dailycaller.com/2019/04/16/cnn…
[July 6, 2017] According to cable ratings from the week of June 26-July 2, CNN’s viewership of its primetime shows was ranked significantly lower than its competitors like Fox News and MSNBC, which place first and second respectively

Fox News has poisoned, with its far-right conspiracy theories, far more Americans than Breitbart, Gab, 4chan, Alex Jones, etc. But Rupert Murdoch and his heirs -- who control Fox -- have not been held responsible. My latest story is about them. theintercept.com/2018/11/04/fox…
Fox isn’t watched by everyone but for those who watch, Fox is everything. It's possible to imagine the attacks of the last weeks even if Hillary Clinton was president -- but impossible to imagine them without years of Fox News spreading white nationalism. theintercept.com/2018/10/30/fox…
The U.S. editor of the Financial Times has proposed an advertiser boycott of Fox News. That's a good idea though it won't solve the problem, because Fox gets more revenue from cable subscribers than advertisers.

1. Trump admitted Sunday that his campaign met with Kremlin operatives at Trump Tower in June 2016 to “get information on an opponent.” You read that correctly. The president actually confessed to “collusion,” which, legally speaking, means conspiracy against the United States.
2.
3. This should be a turning point, according to The New Yorker’s @adamdavidson: “It ends any possibility of an alternative explanation. We can all move forward understanding that there is a clear fact pattern about which there is no dispute.”
