Pretty good straw man and I don’t blame wider media for taking it, but the story we’ve heard for years is that Joe Biden had no visibility on his son’s China ventures — as he carried him in Air Force Two to China — and now we know Biden’s been lying.
We also know that Biden’s kind of serendipitously formed “S corporations” — through which he became rich IMMEDIATELY after leaving office — wouldn’t be required to disclose its sources of income.

Aaand we know that there was a dispute in May 2017 that sounds like it was about protecting Biden from exposure.

And finally we know that Hunter schemed about keeping the whole deal out of FARA radar the day BEFORE he arranged for Joe and Bobulinski to sit and discuss the details of the potential deal. dailycaller.com/2020/10/24/hun…

I’m not buying it.

Rather than suppress a massive story weeks before an election, a more responsible and sober course of action would have been to simply reach out to the totally public and accessible people at NYPost to inform them that they need to redact a few emails.
The NY Post is not a group of Macedonian teens flinging fake news into the internet ecosphere.

This is an absolutely outrageous excuse to censor a major media outlet breaking a big story of huge public interest.

In short, it does not pass the smell test.
The chronology:

1. @Twitter did this censorship without prior comms to the publisher.

2. Twitter said it was because the post violated their hacked info policy (citing no evidence).

3. Suspended WH press sec and journos.

4. Found the pers info and added that to the excuses.

So this is crazy in terms of @googlepubpolicy suppression (and in light of news from the NYT that the WHO is basically full of shit).

In April, WHO took a few minutes to remind the world how helpful abortion would be during the pandemic. We covered it, straight up and down.
.@MaryMargOlohan wrote the story, here's the link which I couldn't fit in the last tweet. dailycaller.com/2020/04/04/who…
When you scoop the entire headline and search it in @Google word-for-word, the search behemoth directs you straight to WHO's readout on abortion. Top result.

We are nowhere on the front page.

I’ve now notified @LMPD that both @shelbytalcott and @VenturaReport were reporting for an accredited media outlet and were operating in the capacity of press. My expectation is that they will be swiftly released.
Update: The Louisville doc tells me @ShelbyTalcott and @VenturaReport will be processed and charged like everyone else, despite my best efforts to alert official channels that they were operating in the capacity of press at a live news event. @LMPD
Another update: @LMPD tells me @ShelbyTalcott and @JorgeVentura05 will be charged with two misdemeanors related to breaking curfew & unlawful assembly for their alleged failure to comply with police orders to disperse and for press to relegate themselves to an “observation area”

When you get past the whining about Tucker, Hannity and Trump, this piece finally makes a salient point:

More often than not, Russia’s efforts to sow disinfo would not work w/o a credulous and hysterical media eager to amplify basically everything the Kremlin does.
How common was it for media to overhype Russia hysteria?

The piece cites NYT — America’s top paper — reporting on Russian efforts while making sure those efforts are unmoored from any context that would help readers gauge the size of the threat. In this case, nearly irrelevant. Image
Obviously, the media had every reason to overhype and mislead wrt Russian disinfo.

In 2012, reporters used to joke about how stupid bots were.

In 2017, bots were cast as the most insidious of threats.

Why? Russian hype sold subscriptions. It made some reporters a ton of $$$.

Pretty amazing to me that various blue checks are equating protest of the vile “cuties” movie with QAnon. The effort there, cleary, is to delegitimize criticism of normalizing soft core child pornography.

And it makes sense, since ...
... we’re pretty much obligated to clap like idiotic seals when an 11 year old boy does a drag routine on Good Morning America (you bigot).
The elites who have worked hard to normalize drag queen story hour and the sexualization of little boys doing drag know deep down inside what they’re doing is not substantively different than what the movie “Cuties” is doing.

That’s why they resort to whataboutism and deflection

It's really easy to give in, think the country is fully engulfed in flames because Orange Man, conclude that we'd all be better off without ... but then I wonder, would Jake Tapper ever have asked a Democratic nominee for president about NAFTA if Trump weren't in office?
Probably not. And it's hard to put into words how much trade deals like that damaged the little guy in this country. NAFTA is an absolute scam (so was GATT for that matter).
Everybody forgets about them because they happened so long ago, and it took a long time to see the results.

(My own father learned Spanish in 2007ish so he could train his replacement how to run factories bound for Mexico.)
