THREAD: With time to reflect, & seeing Silicon Valley's censorship onslaught, I regret this tweet made in heat of moment.
Whether certain cable/YouTube outlets mislead audiences w/ dishonest claims lacking real evidence, they shouldn't be targeted...

Having been in-the-field at more Trump/right-wing rallies that I care to remember, I HAVE SEEN UP CLOSE the power of dangerous misinformation like "Stop the Steal" and Qanon. I personally think the media hosts and channels that push these things to be contrarian or get clicks...
are pretty horrible and doing great damage to an already severely misinformed and uninformed country. BUT if those hosts and channels are not directly calling for people to commit violence, it is their right to spew misinformation and/or conspiracies dressed up as journalism..
The reason I launched @StatusCoup with @JennElizabethJ was because there is an information war in this country in which the corporations who hijacked media outlets are winning. Now, more than ever, it is clear those corporations--who are in bed w/ Silicon Valley--are purging...
the FEW independent leftist outlets...including the VERY FEW IN-THE-FIELD reporting networks like @StatusCoup. Shame on @TheYoungTurks and other outlets with MUCH bigger platforms for not drawing more attention to this censorship binge.
