So the 2014 @TheAtlantic article by @MattiFriedman that @AP said was "filled with distortions, half-truths and inaccuracies" has now been cited in a variety of right-wing media and blogs, some of which are receiving massive diffusion on social media.

🧵of top performers:
1. Red State: 49,101 Facebook interactions

47K are from Ted Cruz who posted it with the text "When the corporate media literally shares office space with Hamas terrorists, should anyone be surprised that they report anti-Israel & anti-America propaganda?" Image
2. The Blaze: 20,192 Facebook interactions

They cited Matti Friedman in the lede (included in screenshot) Image
3. Daily Wire: 16,992 Facebook interactions

This article is entirely about Matti Friedman Image
4. Jerusalem Post: 11,982 Facebook interactions Image
5. Breitbart: 8,874 Facebook interactions Image
Other outlets that cited Matti Friedman:

NY Post (twice) 6,249 total FB interactions

Once again ICYMI, here's the 2014 @AP response to Matti Friedman that said his arguments were "filled with distortions, half-truths and inaccuracies" and refuted several of his claims point by point.

The claims @MattiFriedman makes in his @TheAtlantic article are easily debunked. He claimed the @AP refused to report on Hamas rockets launched from residential areas. Here's the 1,400 word @AP investigation on that topic mentioned in AP's response: apnews.com/article/gaza-a…
He claimed AP banned interviews w/ Gerald Steinberg but AP cited him in 2014: apnews.com/article/63436c… 2015: apnews.com/article/99479b… 2016: apnews.com/article/2f97d6… 2020: apnews.com/article/953687…

Protip for @TheAtlantic fact-checkers:

Does @TheAtlantic even fact-check?

I've got admin assist rules set up that should automatically bounce accounts like this from joining a Facebook group I admin, but I've had a bunch of them get in somehow in the past week.
Obvious GANs, fake ladies from New York. IDK what's going on yet but something changed.
I still don't understand what's up with all these fake pages in various FB groups.

It seems I’ve upset some feelings by pointing out that the Centro Cultural Kyle Rittenhouse in La Plata has a portrait of Javier Milei on the walls. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Quite a few bilingual men are Very Upset that I pointed out that portrait. I didn’t say anything else about Milei and they’re all up in my mentions. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Behold the Facebook page for the Centro Cultural Kyle Rittenhouse, a real place in La Plata, Argentina. The "Kyle Rittenhouse Cultural Center" got raided today and its far-right extremist owner, José Derman, has been detained. infobae.com/politica/2022/… 1/
José Derman uploaded an 11 min video to YouTube celebrating the attempted assassination of @CFKArgentina, calling people to take up arms to “uproot Marxism” and a bunch of other unhinged, violent ramblings. He's being charged with public intimidation. 2/
During the raid, counterterrorism police seized a *live 83mm mortar shell* that was in the Kyle Rittenhouse Cultural Center (because of course) along with a drone, 3 computers, phones and a few other devices. 3/

Horrible (and confusing) mass casualty event happened tonight in NEPA. Lots of unconfirmed info circulating on social media 😔
There was a tragic house fire last weekend in Nescopeck, PA that was ruled arson. 10 people died including 3 kids, multiple generations of the same family. Tonight, someone drove a car into a crowd of people at the fundraiser for that fire 😔 cbsnews.com/philadelphia/n…
The location of the fundraiser is called “The Intoxicology Department bar” in Berwick, PA and another event happened which appears related involving a hammer attack. 😬
