This is so well-deserved and good for the country.
CNN turned itself into a fanatical political PAC during the Trump era, got a few quick sugar highs, hired an army of US Security State operatives, and ratified one lie after the next with no retractions or accountability:
A major reason employees of media corporations basically declared war on me and a few others is we saw the frauds they were spreading in real-time and objected.
Taibbi just proved Hamilton68 was a hoax. They all used it. It was easy to see at the time:
As with the lie about the laptop being "Russian disinformation" - it was so obvious at the time: I quit the Intercept because they spread it and wouldn't let me write about it - *not one* media outlet that used Hamilton68 to shape "news" has acknowledged Taibbi's reporting.
All news outlets and journalists err. I have. All humans do.
But the difference between journalists and completely unethical toxic liars is the latter never admit their frauds.
The reason they don't is worse: they know their audience wants them to lie to advance liberalism.
On a personal level, I don't like seeing people fail. I have friends who work at CNN I like and respect.
But when a "news outlet" constantly gets caught lying and refuses even to acknowledge it, they deserve to collapse and disappear. Good riddance.
The worst part is these toxic, willful liars constantly posture as Owners of Truth. They never stop hectoring everyone about how they are Bulwarks against Disinformation.
The most aggressive, casual and harmful disseminators of Disinformation are the largest media corporations.

Last night @elonmusk vowed to honor the endless, repressive and due-process-free censorship orders from Brazil's Judge Alexandre de Moraes.
The Judge has banned various journalists and members of Congress, among others, from social media.
This would be a huge deal for Brazil:
Rumble last year also announced that it would refuse to comply. The platform was expending huge resources to constantly take down videos and ban users upon the endless, lawless orders of a single job.
Amazingly, Rumble is no longer available to anyone in Brazil, getting this:
In January of last year, we obtained one of the secret orders Judge Moraes issues to platforms. This one banned Senators, Congress members and journalists, and mandated secrecy.
No due process. We reported it here. Hard to overstate how extreme it is:
UK Court hands Assange a partial victory in the Biden DOJ's attempt to extradite him.
US must provide explicit assurances that Assange 1) can raise a 1st Am defense, 2) will have the same rights as US citizens and 3) will never face the death penalty.
Biden WH doesn't want the sideshow of a trial; daily protests; discovery into CIA; Assange on the stand; Biden as the first-ever president to imprison a publisher.
They want to kill Assange through conviction-free imprisonment.
How dare the US President weigh in on a war he has caused American citizens to finance, arm and support!
Look at the mentality of these Israel fanatics: the duty of American citizens is not only to finance Israel's military and wars, but also never question what Israel does:
