This always happens. US corporate media claims to be "neutral," apolitical, etc. But every time there's a war or possible war, they push only in one direction: why aren't you getting more militarily involved?!?!

That's why Psaki was shocked when @ryangrim asked about diplomacy.
Watch here to see for yourself. The WH press corps always demands the US do more militarily to involve itself in the Russia/Ukraine war (under the guise of asking questions), and that's why @ryangrim's question about US diplomacy was so conspicuous:

Remember that the very first time the issue of the US creating a no-fly zone in Ukraine was raised -- before @AdamKinzinger stood up to explicitly call for one -- was when a Pentagon reporter demanded of @PentagonPresSec a reason why the US wasn't doing it.

It's been 24 hours since the NYT acknowledged the reported emails from the Biden laptop were authentic, as was the NY Post's story on how they obtained it.

*None* of the media outlets that spread the CIA's "Russian disinformation" lie has admitted what they did or retracted it👇 ImageImageImageImage
Besides Jen Psaki, one of the most aggressive spreaders of this CIA lie -- unsurprisingly -- former Obama national security aide @brhodes. He just emphatically asserted this lie over and over with no caveats: ImageImageImageImage
Below, @tomselliott collects many - nowhere near all - of the media and political elites who spread the CIA lie over and over. Not a single one has acknowledged error let alone wrongdoing. They know they don't need to: liberal readers *want* them to lie.

VÍDEO: Sergio Moro é Corrupto Sim e Quer Me Censurar

O ex-juiz e suposto candidato à presidência foi à justiça para tentar me silenciar justamente pq sabe que há inúmeras provas que comprovam sua má conduta. Quer intimidar os outros ao silêncio. Assista:

O tweet em questão, que @SF_Moro está tentando censurar apesar da grande quantidade de evidências que comprovam sua veracidade, está aqui:

Leia a matéria no @UOLNoticias: como o ex-juiz hipócrita - que denunciou Bolsonaro por tentar censurar jornalistas, só para ele agora fazer isso -, correu para um juiz no Paraná e conseguiu uma ordem para que o Twitter apagasse meu tweet sobre ele:

Um novo livro que narra o processo contra o ex-prefeito de Niterói, @RodrigoNeves -- agora um dos principais candidatos a governador do Rio --, será lançado hoje. Tem todos os mesmos abusos "lawfare" da cruzada da LJ contra Lula. "Golpe Derrotado":

amazon.com.br/Golpe-Derrotad…
Hoje à noite, às 19h, na livraria do Shopping Leblon, os autores apresentarão seu novo livro e as evidências do quão abusiva foi essa acusação, inclusive sobre Carlos Jordy. Neves estará lá, assim como eu, e muitos outros. Por favor, venham prestigiar esse importante lançamento: Image
Agora, há 3 candidatos bons de esquerda/centro-esquerda com clara oportunidade de chegar no segundo turno contra Claudio Castro. As pessoas vão precisar decidir quem tem mais chances de derrotar Castro. De qualquer forma, essa acusação abusiva contra Neves merece atenção. Image

The NYT Now Admits the Biden Laptop -- Falsely Called "Russian Disinformation" -- is Authentic

greenwald.substack.com/p/the-nyt-now-…
The corporate media outlets which spread this lie from ex-CIA officials never retracted their pre-election falsehoods, ones used by Big Tech to censor reporting on the front-runner.

This was one of the worst cases of disinformation and censorship in modern US political history.
That the Biden archive revealed by the @nypost was authentic was 100% clear at the start. All metrics used to authenticate large archives - ones we used in the Snowden and Brazil investigations - proved that. But media and Big Tech were so desperate to defeat Trump, so they lied.

The corrupt ex-judge whose guilty verdict against Lula was nullified by Brazil's Supreme Court due to his misconduct and is now hilariously running for president, @SF_Moro, got a local judge to order Twitter to delete my tweet documenting his corruption.

Notably, the corrupt, cowardly judge did not sue me for defamation or anything else that would have allowed me discovery and the opportunity to present all the evidence of his corruption. So instead I'll be producing a video for today amassing the ample evidence proving this.
Seems like if you want to run for President (and he's about 30 points behind Lula and 20 behind Bolsonaro), it's kind of a bad start to run to a judge in your state to get them to force Twitter to remove a journalist's tweets about you. Kind of an authoritarian start.🤷‍♂️

Mitt Romney's "Treason" Smear of Tulsi Gabbard is False and Noxious, But Now Typifies U.S. Discourse

greenwald.substack.com/p/romneys-trea…
The Founders limited "treason" in the Constitution due to concerns it would be abused to criminalize dissent: what is now routine.

Neocons weaponized it during the War on Terror. It was the dominant theme of the Trump years. The war in Ukraine has brought it to all new levels.
In the past 48 hours:

-- The Daily Beast tabloid implied Gabbard is a Kremlin asset.

-- Romney accused Gabbard of "treason."

-- The View hosts called on DOJ to criminally investigate her and Tucker Carlson.

-- Keith Olbermann said the duo should be "militarily detained."
