If Nancy Pelosi Succeeds In Banning Our Video - Media Is Dead As We Know It.

Me, at @Newsweek.

newsweek.com/if-nancy-pelos…
@Newsweek Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is using her full political power to rip down and ban – permanently – a video from the internet purely on the grounds that it makes her look bad.

That's it.

If she succeeds it will be the death of media as we know it.
@Newsweek Taking footage of things that happened, and placing that footage together in a timeline is quite literally how you create all nightly news packages, sports highlight reels, documentaries and instant replays.

The precedent set here would be horrifying.
@Newsweek Would you call a Super Bowl highlight reel "doctored," because the footage of the big play did not show every play before and after in chronological sequence?

Is a news segment "misinformation" when a reporter clips a small part of a politician's speech and runs it?
No. Absurd
@Newsweek Journalists writing these headlines should wake up and realize they're writing the eulogy for media as we know it.
If our video is "doctored" & "manipulated," then literally every minute of every entertainment, sports and political media has been doctored and manipulated as well
@Newsweek Pelosi's true motivation here has nothing to do with truth. It's far more sinister and it deserves to be called out. The reason she is using her formidable powers to get this video deleted from the internet is because it makes her look bad, plain and simple.
@Newsweek Pelosi is the one engaging in deception. This is congressional cancel culture come to life.

This is the digital age. Instead of burning books, they're banning videos.

We've seen Pelosi's thin-skinned totalitarian censorship over and over throughout history.
@Newsweek There is a silver lining to Pelosi's failed censorship play. Since calling for our video to be taken down, views of the video have skyrocketed. Our video of Pelosi's disrespectful behavior at the State of the Union now has over 20 million views across platforms and growing.
