The Hunter and Jim Biden story:

-Wasn't hacked material
-Wasn't Russian misinformation
-Is something people deserved to know before voting
-Big tech + corporate media tried to make sure that didn't happen
-And now they're going to gaslight you about all of it.
Has Facebook detailed which of its paid Fact Check partners were the basis for it suspending the Hunter Biden story's spread? Have these partners retracted or altered their checks? Will they remain Fact Check partners going forward given such obvious inaccuracy?
Will anyone in the media who claimed this story was a Russian disinformation plot suffer any professional consequences for making what is now such an obviously false claim in service of partisan interest?
Will @jack apologize profusely to Twitter users for blocking, suspending, and invading their DMs to prevent the spread of this true story or will he just go on another mental retreat where he pays to sleep on cement and then lie in front of Congress about it all over again?
I think we know the answers to these questions. Just remember the next time the same swamp people who lied about this repeatedly and aggressively suppressed dissenting views come to you making the case for war.
Former CIA heads John Brennan, Leon Panetta, Michael Hayden, John McLaughlin and Michael Morell all signed on to the letter falsely claiming the story was Russian disinformation. Will they ever be asked to account for that?

Good morning! Has @JohnBrennan apologized for lying about Hunter Biden's money laundering for China being a Russian plot yet?
Or maybe first he should apologize for lying about his CIA minions spying on Congress while investigating illegal torture of prisoners... Both would be nice.
And what about @McFaul? Has he apologized yet for identifying a story as Russian propaganda without literally a scintilla of evidence? A story that has since proven true to an even greater degree?

What a fucking bigot this guy is.
Oh I dunno maybe it had more to do with DEFUND THE POLICE and SOCIALISM IS FINE than gay marriage, you cold heartless toolbag.
Oh, and they aren't "evangelical". They're Catholic.

A lot of people seem to think @AOC was a loser in this election. Strong disagree. The majority is further left, and ready for innovative leadership, with an 80 year old Speaker who has won her last election - and a base hungry for young, passionate leadership.
Additionally, @AOC can actually leverage cross-partisan unanimity against a White House that is going to be super corporatist, pro-Big Tech and pro-Wall Street. You think that won't play with the base?
The eagerness to write off the most talented social media activist politician in the country after an election where milquetoast Democrats underperformed dramatically is just ridiculous.

I've been thinking about this comment a lot in the context that it came mere hours before noted Trumpian Nate Silver said Fox and AP should retract the call.
And to be clear, Biden could still win Arizona. But the idea that North Carolina remains uncalled and Arizona is called is just laughable among any quality GOP pollster. That's not a depiction of reality.
Also: Alaska. Come. On.

So @TheAtlantic published a powerful, vivid story of a cop shooting to make the case for defunding the police.

The problem is: there's no record it ever happened.
thefederalist.com/2020/07/16/im-…
The Federalist made Sunlight Requests to the St Louis PD and found nothing like what was described.
"The shooting of a young boy by a cop in a St. Louis Rec Center, even if it had happened 20 years ago, I feel like that would be in my mind somewhere," said the current mayoral spokesman, a former reporter during the period in question.

"The Appalachian range was the frontier, and the settlers who lived there were rough-hewn highlanders, predominantly Scots-Irish, who had little but the confidence that they and their God were the sole authors of their fate.
"This in turn imparted a zealous belief in their own liberty: they might be poor, but they were free as only frontiersmen were free. So when the call came to stand against the hated British in the American Revolution, these men and women answered
"with the enthusiasm of a people who loved freedom and a good fight — and weren’t too careful in distinguishing the two.
