Thread by @MikeWiseguy

This a disturbing thread about the only way Donald Trump can win re-election -- really, the only way he won in 2016. It's what happens when a social media collossus like Facebook allows warped people to manufacture well-done videos and front them as "investigative journalism."

Last week a FB friend from high school sent me this, asking how a journalist like me could ever support @KamalaHarris after she "failed to prosecute Planned Parenthood in California for harvesting and trafficking body parts of late-term aborted fetuses." facebook.com/ksjax99/videos…

Instead, the video said, then-prosecutor Harris went after the truth-telling watchdogs who exposed this horror, like @daviddaleiden, who went "undercover," instead of mainstream media lemmings like me, who didn't see this story for what it was? I looked into it. Read many links.

Finally, I arrived @Snopes, praised by both blue snowflakes and red meatheads as being impartial fact-checkers. And this is what they found: the video was complete bullshit. I sent my FB friend from high school back this link and explained what I'd found.

There's a reason Planned Parenthood in CA. was never prosecuted for illegal trafficking and harvesting of body parts from fetuses. 13 diff. states investigated the organization. They found nothing of the sort. Every investigation was closed. Pro Life, Pro Choice, those are facts.

And by the time Daleiden and his "coworker" were prosecuted, Kamala Harris was no longer a D.A. She was Sen. Harris. Oh, Daleiden was never an "undercover journalist." A federal jury awarded Planned Parenthood more than $2.2 million last Nov. for harm he and his cohorts caused.

A Pro-Life activist, he and his co-defendant Sandra Merritt pretended they were human tissue procurers for a made-up company as a part of a hidden-camera investigation into the organization -- the report that triggered those investigations by red and blue states that found zilch.

Their defense: they thought they would uncover “violent felonies” because they were convinced infants were being born alive at Planned Parenthood clinics. Think about how many warped algorithms Mark Zuckerberg allows to be sent your way for a guy like Daleiden to believe that.

Think about my friend, who never said a word after I sent the Snopes link, moving along as if her long-lost classmate is now part of "them." See, that's the sad part; she still believes Kamala Harris sent investigative journalists to jail for uncovering Rosemary's Baby-like evil.

She has no idea Daleiden is the sinister one, that his group conspired to commit fraud, breach of contract, trespass and violate federal and state recording laws in Maryland, California and Florida -- giving genuine investigative journalists a rotten name. She's voting Trump.

The epilogue: That Facebook post was still filling millions of feeds in Pennsylvania, Iowa, Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, name a battleground state. Daleiden is somehow allowed to still put out his filth on Twitter and FB, filth that is almost all patently false and misleading.

The most influential men in the world don't have the nuclear codes. But these urban, White hipsters, who run multinational tech companies, who allow posts like that to stay up and make my Facebook friend believe in lies, allow a dangerous man like Trump to get & keep those codes.

Think about that the next time you "like" something and you have no idea where in the hell it came from or whether it has a shred of truth to it. We need to stop polarizing each other by feeds and algorithms and try and talk some damn sense into each other before Nov. 3. Or else.
