A short thread about Paul Pelosi story we posted yesterday, which has attracted so much attention. @washingtonpost etc. apple.news/Ahz5aMaE4RISOQ…
@washingtonpost 1. The story is sourced. It is also posted as opinion, and is largely based on facts that are available to everyone.
@washingtonpost 2. We are not especially right wing, and do not post conspiracy theory, except as satire. An example is the 2016 "Hillary is Dead" story, which was posted as satire, then removed when people complained. @latimes.
@washingtonpost 4. We have historically posted stories that have turned out to be true after being attacked for days by left wing trolls. Example: RBG being sick with cancer, which story we broke, and which unfortunately turned out to be true. Or a certain ball player having died of a
@washingtonpost 5. drug overdose, also attacked, also turned out to be true. Finally, does what the MSM is saying about the Paul Pelosi story, make any sense to you? Because it doesn't make any sense to us.
@washingtonpost p.s. There is a common misconception that posting controversial or "fake news" stories, is highly profitable. From 1,000,000 hits, and this story will get much less than that, a news website makes maybe $500. There are many easier ways to make money.
