As it so happens, Stop Fake pops up in the explosive yet aggressively censored Integrity Initiative leaks as a friendly media outlet---along with Bellingcat, Buzzfeed, and other malefactors
If you want to read more on the explosive Integrity Initiative leaks---Snowden level leaks for the Disinformation Industry, read the full report (if you can stomach it)
If @pmarca and @elonmusk and others want to understand the dark details of how the Disinformation Industry works, this is the first major step down the rabbit hole
The dynamic that applies so acutely to twitter also applies to other media orgs
The influence is worth vastly more to regime stakeholders than the revenue
For this reason media is a special business that does not operate according to conventional market forces

Influence and revenue negatively correlated there
Other interesting corollaries encapsulate the point. The real juicy and interesting information is far more valuable in private than in public

One has to wonder, if Feds were so serious about Rhodes... why did they just not bother to search him for a whole year (they searched one cell phone 4 months after 1/6)?
That's a whole year for Rhodes to just destroy evidence!

Ted Cruz sold out everything he allegedly stood for domestically for a chance to sanction the nordstream 2 gas pipeline...
All that opposition to ‘wokeness’ he faked for 12 months just amounts to leverage against Nordstream 2
Is it possible to owned harder by daddy donors and be a bigger sellout than that?
“Yes, you can install a communist at deputy head of treasury as long as a gas pipeline halfway around the world gets sanctioned so my donors can export LNG”
