Absolutely unbelievable: the excuse Twitter used to censor the pre-election Hunter Biden reporting was its policy on prohibiting use of "hacked" material. That was a lie: nothing was hacked.

This donor information was hacked, and Twitter is allowing full disclosure of all names.
In the last six years, a major function of large media corporations is to elevate ordinary people from the privacy and obscurity they choose into the spotlight for the crime of ideological wrongness. That's what the WPost is doing:

Remember one of CNN's lowest and most pathetic moments: they sent *a camera crew* to the Florida home of an older woman for unwittingly posting pro-Trump events on FB CNN claimed were organized by Russians. This is why the media is so hated. Look at this:

The sanctity of donations and membership lists has long been advocated for by @ACLU and protected by courts. The right to donate to causes you support is a key right of association. Media outlets now routinely expose citizens who make small donations to causes the media hates.

Uau! Era tão raro que as pessoas durante o debate sobre a liberdade de expressão tivessem a capacidade ou a honestidade de compreender esse ponto básico sobre meu argumento que, ouvir isso de uma pessoa que discorda de mim era como encontrar água depois de semanas no deserto:
Aqui está o vídeo que ele citou onde expliquei meu raciocínio: que dar o poder de censura ao estado é *mais provável levar ao fascismo. Em quase 20 anos de jornalismo, nunca tive um argumento distorcido como o que aconteceu há 2 semanas no Brasil:

E uma última vez: a liberdade de expressão que defendo *não* é só um valor americano (muitos nos EUA a rejeitam e há muito defendem a censura). Vem do esquerdismo internacional e da tradição intelectual judaica, tornando ainda mais repelente ser chamado de nazista por defendê-lo.

They're not even hiding it this time. The vast, vast majority of "reporting" from corporate media outlets on Russia/Ukraine consists of nothing other than "anonymous intelligence officials tell us..." No verification, questioning or doubt. They just go and prosthelytize as told.
In these two tweets, @juliaioffe -- long one of the most fanatical and deranged Russiagaters -- comes out and explicitly says *not only* that the US media is being used to spread propaganda by the US Govt about Ukraine but that it's noble that they're being used this way. ImageImage
If the corporate media had any minimal standards of ethics or even dignity, this would cause an immediate expulsion of Ioffe from any venues of credibility, but most of them not only know that it's true but also see it as virtuous. As with Trump, all is justified to stop Putin.

The Special Counsel investigating wrongdoing that led to Russiagate, John Durham, filed a document accusing the Clinton campaign of paying tech operatives to spy on Trump campaign, then Admin, servers. See if you can find liberal outlets covering this.

Durham's filing is here. The accusations shouldn't be taken as truth yet. He says he will prove them at trial. But the way liberal outlets completely ignore this shows the bubble in which liberals live: they just have no idea about any of this:

This is part of the criminal case against Hillary's lawyer, Michael Sussman. He fed FBI, then CIA, the fabricated Alfa Bank story, and is accused of lying when telling FBI he wasn't representing any client. Question is whether this is leading to a broader conspiracy case.

Everyone sees the game the US Government is playing in Ukraine except, as usual, most of the US corporate media:
Meanwhile, even the Ukrainian president appears to be a tool of the Kremlin with its messaging:

This is a good thread on the situation in Ukraine and Russia, and also recommend the @FT article cited here by its author:

Only the US corporate media could take the person in this video, Joe Rogan, and claim he's a far-right figure.

It happens in part because most of Rogan's critics never watch his show, but also because the media purposely lies and uses "far-right" to malign everyone they dislike.
The media moronically calls Rogan "right-wing" because this is their only strategy for combatting the explosive growth of independent media taking their audience.

If they can convince people that everyone independent of them is "far-right," at least liberals will be captive.
In other words:

"Hey, all you guys who supported Bernie Sanders and have positions far to the left on key issues than we could dream of having: every time we use your name, we'll call you 'right-wing' because we have to make liberals stay loyal to us."

Love,
Corporate media

Joe Rogan has interviewed socialist Cornel West and Bernie Sanders, but if he really wants to prove he's willing to air radical, dissident voices, he'd invite on the star reporter for the obscure journal called The New York Times who is celebrated by every mainstream institution:
If Rogan wants to prove to dissidents like Yale Professor @jasonintrator that he's willing to talk to the dangerous radicals, he'd find out whether Nikole Hannah-Jones has time between her Face the Nation appearances, NYT articles and teaching gigs to emerge from the underground.
Rogan twice interviewed @Snowden -- someone who I think qualifies as a dissident since he's, you know, in exile for 8 years because the USG wants to imprison him.

But to Yale's @jasonintrator, real dissidents are the guests on the network shows, showered with mainstream prizes.
