The corporate media—and Twitter/FB—are still crickets as Hunter Biden's biz partner confirms the emails in @nypost story are real (& that the reference to the "big guy" that 10% equity should be set aside for is...@JoeBiden)

THREAD...foxnews.com/politics/hunte…
B4 #Resistance heads' explode, let me be clear--this is not about the election and/or who u should vote for. Trump is one of the most corrupt president's (and people) in history. This story doesn't make Biden worse or more corrupt than Biden (which is right wing media's goal)...
This is about a PRIME EXAMPLE of how selective corporate media censorship & propaganda works. For 4 YEARS, @msnbc @cnn @nytimes @washingtonpost have recklessly pushed and elevated highly dubious #RussiaGate stories that were MORE SUSPICIOUS than the @nypost Hunter Biden story...
None of the social platforms (Twitter/FB) blocked users from posting or sharing them or locked news' outlets accounts (NY Post). Instead, they pushed them as trending topics which then led to endless hours of TV news airtime. Yet, for a story that may hurt @JoeBiden 3 weeks...
before the presidential election—WITH NO ACTUAL EVIDENCE that the emails the story reported on were fake—these same outlets that recklessly ran with dubious Russia/Trump stories collectively censored this story. This is dangerous for the future of journalism. It doesn't matter...
Whether u are a die-hard anti-Trumper or a MAGA enthusiast—the important issue here is not about this election. What matters is if news consumers and Americans become numb and OK with corporate, for-profit media outlets (and now tech platforms) selectively pushing and elevating..
one set of dubious/suspect stories that might weaken a politician they don't like (dubious Russiagate stories that make Trump look bad) while censoring and suppressing less suspicious story that might hurt Biden (@nypost Hunter Biden story)...then media and tech platforms...
are just one more cog in the political tribalism machine. And this sets up a future where 2 weeks before the Iowa Caucus between hypothetical Dem presidential candidate @ninaturner and incumbent President @KamalaHarris...corp media/Silicon Valley censors a potentially harmful..
story on Harris while pushing harmful story on Turner. If people are ok with this selective censorship with no consistent journalistic standards....we are in much worse shape as a country than even I thought.

3 years ago, when a domestic abuser blogging for @HuffPost FALSELY accused me of sexual assault—w/ no editorial oversight—my life/career was upended.

Yet, HuffPost was legally shielded by Sec. 230 bc it was a blogger—not a staff employee. THREAD...
There was ZERO journalism involved in this blog smearing me of sexually assaulting multiple women. I was not contacted for comment, the word alleged was never used, & it accused me of assaulting 1 woman I'd never even met (she came out after calling for correction-it never came)
I sued @HuffPost for $23.5 million dollars because allowing this LIE to be published, at that time, destroyed my career. I was now unemployable with a tarnished reputation and too much of a risk to potential investors to start my own media company. Yet, because media companies...

Kentucky AG's "investigation" into Breonna Taylor's murder is a cover up.

As Breonna's BF's lawyer noted, A DOZEN witnesses said cops didn't identify themselves at her door—& the LONE WITNESS the AG cited as hearing cops identify themselves ORIGINALLY SAID COPS DIDN'T. THREAD:
Another thing Kentucky AG Daniel Cameron misled the public about was the types of guns the officers who shot at Breonna Taylor/Kenneth Walker had.

AG said Walker fired a 9mm & cops fired a 40mm gun...but according to Lousiville PD records, officer Hankison was issued a 9mm gun.
Another thing Kentucky AG lied about (or he simply doesn't understand and/or follow the law)...

In Kentucky, you can't claim self-defense when you recklessly kill a 3rd party—Breonna Taylor was an unarmed third-party who didn't shoot at Louisville cops and posed no threat

I'd be careful sharing Dr. Marc Edwards' "science" or claims on Flint.

His science, data, & ethics (go ask the poisoned Flint mother he sued for $3 million for the crime of signing a petition against him along with dozens of other residents) are suspect

the Corporate media has lazily propped him up--but after thoroughly looking into his water lead testing and declarations--it's clear his declarations and science aren't worth the EPA-funded paper they're made on
and as @JennElizabethJ and I broke, the water lead testing data was manipulated in Flint for over 2 years under ex-Gov Rick Snyder's environmental department. @ErinBrockovich calls it a crime and the testing should be tossed and redone. vice.com/en_us/article/…

Heartbroken to report that Sarah, 35, terminally ill wife of Anthony @Midgrin, has passed away.

@StatusCoup brought their story to light after their grotesque landlord pushed to evict them amid #COVID19. Anthony's has been her 24/7 caretaker for years.

After we interviewed Anthony, Status Coup viewers came through with over $12,000 via GoFundMe to help Anthony avoid eviction (he owed several months and couldn't easily move his terminally ill wife). Despite this, his landlord CONTINUED pushing them out and cut off plumbing.
Anthony is one of the quiet heroes, whose JOB was harder than man of us working 2-3. He cleaned Sarah, fed Sarah, moved her to and from bed/bathroom and tended to her 24/7 for several years of her illness (ataxia). Most of all he loved her when she needed it most.

RIP Sarah.

I am LIVE NOW in Milwaukee on the last night of the #DemConvention where protesters and yellow vesters are demanding more and marching for justice. WATCH:
Protesters are now marching through the streets of Milwaukee at the #DemConvention saying the names of those who have been unjustly murdered at the hands of police. WATCH LIVE:
Protesters chant #BlackLivesMatter through the streets of Milwaukee on the last night of the #DemocraticConvention

Democratic power brokers are actively urging @JoeBiden not to debate Trump because "he's not capable of telling the truth."

Any objective person w/ eyes & ears watching Biden for last year know that's not the real reason they don't want Biden to debate newsweek.com/supporters-urg…
Of course, Trump himself is not mentally sharp (or stable), but has not shown the type of decline that's been clear in Biden (that corp media has covered up for a year).

When people like me point this out, we're accused of being a "Trump supporter." It's actually the opposite..
As I said months ago, it is political suicide to run someone you can't be certain can stand on a debate stage 1-on-1 for 4.5-5 total hours without having a major cognitive meltdown...which would be the takeaway for millions of American voters not politically-obsessed and just...
