They absolutely should delete those false tweets. Unfortunately, there are dozens of CNN, NBC, MSNBC & WPost reporters and even "disinformation activists" who have left up their false tweets about Giuliani's FBI briefing & refuse to correct or delete it even when asked to.
That's why these self-serving claims from the CNN/MSNBC/NBC/WPost/NBC axis that their false stories are somehow superior to what they call "Fake News" is complete bullshit. The employees of these outlets constantly spread false stories without any accountability.
Just unbelievable and infuriating. Look at this:
It's been hours since I notified close to a dozen journalists with major corporate outlets that their false tweet about Giuliani's FBI briefing remains up -- and remains uncorrected.
*Not one* has taken it down. They absolutely believe they have the right to lie. This proves it.
What makes it even more amazing is that so many of these same journalists days ago endorsed @JakeTapper's (valid) scolding of an RNC official for leaving up a false tweet. Yet these NBC/CNN/WPost journalists believe their lies are noble and just: they're on the good side.
I'll have an article up shortly tracing exactly what happened and how. But when you do the autopsy, what's most infuriating is how they all unite to spread the same false stories, and then so many of them allow the deceit to fester and linger by refusing to note it was false.
If you're advised you spread fake news in a viral tweet and you leave it up anyway or don't bother telling your followers the story has been retracted, that makes you, by definition, a disinformation agent and a liar. These are the people wanting to censor the internet:
Dozens of journalists who spread the false, fake story about the FBI briefing to Giuliani refused to delete it or correct days later even after advised. Kudos to the few who had the integrity to do it once pressured. It's not that hard unless you *want* to spread disinformation.
Seemingly weekly I'm posting clips from @NicolleDWallace's show of her & her guests looking into the camera and, with great drama and emotion, telling the MSNBC audience absolute falsehoods. The latest from Friday, with ex-FBI agent @selectedwisdom (whose false tweet remains up):
On and on we go. This happens so often nobody even remembers them weeks later:
I know this shouldn't amaze me but it does. I know why it infuriates me: I would never dream of knowing that I spread a false, retracted story and just keep it up and refuse even to tell my audience it's false. How do they do this? They're amoral cretins. *This* is Fake News:
Still up, no correction: just astonishing -- NBC News White House Correspondent:
If Joe Biden had announced that any private universities that allow criticism of him or Dems shall immediately lose all federal funding -- while keeping the funding if they allow criticisms of Trump -- would that have been constitutional since no school has the right to funding?
How about if Biden cut off all federal funding to universities that deny the validity of the trans identity or the existence of multiple genders -- on the ground that such teaching incites violence against trans people and is hate speech?
Would that have been constitutional?
The only tactic needed to induce support for censorship is train people to believe the views they hate are violence.
Anti-trans activists are inciting violence and calling for genocide, etc.
Opponents of Israel's war on Gaza are calling for genocide and must be censored, etc. etc.
During the Dem primary campaign, one of RFK Jr.'s core issues was free speech and opposing censorship. Then he became known for wanting to combat chronic disease.
So what does he use his first month for? Threatening universities which allow protests against Israel on campus:
Note: you're free to protest the US on campus. You can protest any country or group: just not Israel.
And of course this censorship - like all censorship - is justified the name of stopping hate speech and keeping one group "safe": as if they're being relentlessly attacked.
Every government in the world -- including the most repressive and tyrannical -- "protects free speech" for the views they like.
It's the views they most hate that are targeted. And the most sacred issue for many in the Trump Admin is Israel: that is what's therefore shielded.
There's nothing stopping Germany or the EU from funding war in Ukraine until the end of eternity if they wish, or sending their citizens to Ukraine to fight Russia.
But the German Greens -- the worst of the worst -- are emblematic of European liberals: all posturing, no action.
British pundits prance around as if they're Churchill, and Macron walks around like he's a tough guy, and German Greens and other vague Berlin liberals posture as if they're the paragon of compassion: all while they rely on the US to finance wars, fight and protect them.
Zelensky begged and begged Westerners to get off line and stop tweeting with their blue-yellow emojis and instead go to Ukraine to help them fight the Russian Army, knowing he couldn't win without non-Ukrainians volunteering to fight. Very, very few did.
For a long-time, harsh critiques of US foreign policy and interventionism were found on the populist right. Listen to Pat Buchanan (who worked for Nixon and Reagan) as well as Ron Paul on US policy toward Israel. Very, very few Dems now speak this way:
In February 2021 -- more than a year before Russian troops entered Ukraine en masse -- the inspiring democrat, President Zelensky, banned 3 popular opposition TV networks by accusing them of spreading Russian disinformation.
It'd be as if Biden banned Fox or Trump banned CNN:🇺🇦
In 2014 -- after Victoria Nuland, @ChrisMurphyCT, John McCain etc. used NED to fund protests in Kiev to remove the democratically elected leader and replace him with an unelected pro-US puppet -- Kiev began bombing ethnic Russian civilians in Donbas:
@ChrisMurphyCT It's bizarre to watch history re-written in real time to serve war propaganda: how Azov Battalion was described as neo-Nazi by western elites, only to be turned into heroic warriors the minute we armed them.
EXCLUSIVE: Trump's media company and Rumble jointly sue Brazilian Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes in a U.S. federal court in Florida, arguing that his most recent censorship orders require a global ban, thus violating US sovereignty and US law:
This comes in the wake of yesterday's indictment of former President Jair Bolsonaro, accusing him of plotting a violent coup (that never happened) against Lula and Moraes.
That indictment follows polls showing a collapse in Lula's popularity, with only Bolsonaro beating him.
