It appears that @jimsciutto is worried about sharing disinformation in order to score retweets.

Well, I think Jim should take that up with...Jim Sciutto, over the last four years.

Care for a trip down memory lane?
There’s no better place to start than with Russia. And man, was @jimsciutto in on the Russian collusion narrative.
But you see, for Jim, it wasn’t just collusion in general. He was fine sharing disinformation about nearly every facet of the narrative.

That includes the Steele dossier, of course.
And @jimsciutto was all in on Steele, and even Bruce Ohr. That take hasn’t...quite held up perfectly.
Ditto that for Carter Page.

The FBI agent who built the case that they were “getting valuable intelligence Page was acting as [an] agent of a foreign Govt” has since pleaded guilty to forging said evidence.
Remember Sam Nunberg?
@jimsciutto even went in on the pee tape, for heaven’s sake!
I don’t even know what this is.
Remember this whopper? How’d that one hold up, @CNN?
Remember when @realDonaldTrump was going to fire Mueller? I remember.
I am not interested in being lectured about disinformation by someone who is going to the mat to defend @RepAdamSchiff’s bogus collusion narrative.
And it should come as no surprise that @jimsciutto pushed the baseless suggestion, refuted by DNI, FBI and CIA that Hunter Biden’s laptop was “disinformation”
Jim even went in on the Russian bounties allegations, too, which still haven’t been substantiated despite months of investigation by the military.
But it wasn’t even just the Russian collusion conspiracy.

Does anyone else recall the “largely peaceful” protests? Jim called them “enduring” and “diverse”
Remember that time that Kim Jong Un was on death’s doorstep?
Listen, I’m sympathetic to the idea that we should wait before spreading something that could be disinformation.

But it’s very, very rich to have the Russian collusion crowd like @jimsciutto, who have pushed lies as truth, over and over again, lecture about caution.

Girlfriend finally relented and agreed to watch THE HUNGER GAMES, the best cinema created in my lifetime.
Some of you seem to think this is sarcastic or flip so let me be clear: The Hunger Games series is an absolute masterpiece, I’ve seen each of the movies dozens of times, and there is nothing - nothing - I enjoy more (she’s a close second though).
The ratio cometh

FDR put ethnic minorities in camps, Bush championed government surveillance, and Obama used a drone strike to kill a US citizen but you’re right Trump’s mean tweets are far worse.
We’re going to keep hearing this take over and over again because it’s the only way for these types of resistance grifters to rationalize their constant state of hysteria over the last four years.

It just isn’t true.
I hope someone smarter than me on the left side of the aisle is writing a piece about how Trump just wasn’t as bad as everyone said he would be but if no one does I guess I’ll write it.

Pfizer announced positive trial results for their coronavirus vaccine today. That’s great news, but it’s undermined when Dems & others have pushed a conspiracy that, because Orange Man Bad, the vaccine won’t work.

Don’t remember? Well follow me down memory lane.👇
Perhaps the most well-known anti-vaccine voice on this was @KamalaHarris, who kicked up a firestorm when she suggested she wouldn’t trust or take a vaccine coming out of the Trump Administration.
But she wasn’t alone.

Where bad and dangerous coronavirus ideas go, @NYGovCuomo is never far behind. By now you’ve surely heard of his comments that it’s “bad news” that we got a vaccine during the Trump Admin. Just a vile comment.

It really can’t be overstated how much better our country would be if our media looked more like @megynkelly and less like @chrislhayes ImageImage
I get a lot of flack on here for being someone who pushes back on the “enemy of the people” bit in defense of the media. Kelly is a great example of what a plausible alternative could (and should) look like.
It appears the distinction I was trying to draw didn’t necessarily come through.

Kelly is able to ignore personal animosity while striving to understand the truth. Hayes is consumed by animosity and elevates it to the place of truth.

We need the former; we have the latter.

I’m sorry, are you kidding me with this??

You want to trot out @staceyabrams to say that the GOP should lay down and die over voting irregularities?

The same Abrams who insisted she “won” the election that she lost??
The same @staceyabrams who refused to concede her own election because of **the number of uncounted ballots**?!

That Stacey Abrams? That’s who Rs are gonna listen to on all this?
The same @staceyabrams who accused the state of Georgia of fraudulently costing her an election because of the way they handled her votes?!

You think we should trust HER on this??
