1/ #MEDIAFAIL🚨
-HIDING REALITY FROM READERS
-NO CONTEXT
-SPREAD CRT LIE
@tylerkingkade and @Mike_Hixenbaugh completely whitewash the reality that Parents Defending Education is a Koch backed fake grassroots group that has created the CRT hysteria. H/t @brucewilson.

2/ As early as April, non-reporter Americans were figuring this out. Could you guys take like two minutes and do a little research? Or is your editor telling you to be ad hoc disinformation agents for the Koch's fake group? H/t @DianeRavitch. dianeravitch.net/2021/04/05/mau…

3/ When journos reporting on efforts to manipulate society HIDE the manipulation, they are doing the last necessary piece of work for the #KochNetwork, spreading the outrage. Americans lured by the manipulation effort see it legitimized by the news. This is anti-journalism.

4/ If we can google around and find accurate accountings of the #KochNetwork astroturfing PDE and Moms For Liberty, surely corporate media can too. Yet they don't do basic journalism - informing people about the subjects of their pieces? losangelesblade.com/2021/11/14/unm…

5/ Calling these operatives "parents" is an act of malice, as the juiced outrage, legitimized by corporate media, tipped an election in Virginia toward a party built on lies. Terrible anti-health, anti-climate, anti-democracy policies will result. Malice

6/ Failing to describe reality accurately, especially when it comes to the #KochNetwork manipulating the minds of our fellow citizens, is itself an act of support for the Koch effort to manipulate the minds of our fellow citizens. Corporate media in the bag for the right wing.
