@bbcnickrobinson perhaps #r4today would like to report on the leaked private chat messages which shows how a number of @Telegraph journalists working with antivaxxers and conspiracy theorists to undermine public health?

Perhaps @FraserNelson isn't a reliable source for #r4today to interview considering the Spectator's track record on covid reporting, they promoted GBD and platformed ppl like David Patton from disinformation group HART

Perhaps it's useful to mention that Oakshotts partner is Richard Tice whose Reform Party is seeking to pick up the anti-lockdown and antivax vote?

Perhaps you might want to mention the role the Telegraph had in creating and promoting UsForThem whose members are now tweeting about Sunak being a puppet of the WEF and are defending Bridgen and using a vaccine genocide hashtag

Perhaps you might want to ask which journalists from Spectator and Telegraph, and ppl they have platformed attended QAnon John Mappins Nuremberg 2.0 antivax party?

What about how Allison Pearson in the Telegraph promoted the launch of the Safer To Wait campaign whose flyers were being handed out by mobs of antivaxxers who were abusive at school gates and even tried to break into school grounds

It's pretty disgusting and dangerous that the Telegraph would print praise for a campaign that went on to suggest parents could give their children Ivermectin rather than having them vaccinated

Sarah Knapton who is one of the coauthors for the Telegraph's "lockdown files" is even mentioned in the #HARTleaks as being someone who is willing to get their disinformation into the mainstream media

This is very much like the Spectators interview with Sunak which was a rewriting of history which claimed no economic modelling was done despite Sunak having commissioned his own modelling by a guy the Spectator then employed!

There's also the fact the Telegraph headlined an atrocious antivax VAER dumpster dive by Hoeg that massively over exaggerated myocarditis creating unfounded concern in child vax

Don't get me wrong, this isn't a defence of Hancock, care homes are an absolute scandal, however those with access to these files can't be trusted to not engage in selective quoting to fit the narrative they want

They are likely to withhold important information that doesnt fit their narrative

I'm sure they won't report on meetings between government and the Telegraph's editor arguing against measures in the midst of the deadliest wave of the pandemic as reported by @BylineTimes

While starting off by focusing on deaths in care homes, the Telegraph will fail to acknowledge that it was pushing for policies that would have caused even more death and harm

The aim of the lockdown files will be to support the GBD narrative

And we have to consider Oakshotts track record, imagine somehow sitting on evidence of Russian collusion without apparently realising it

Can we trust her not to miss some other important info this time around.

And it wasn't just journalists, we also had MPs seeking to undermine public health working with conspiracy theorists
…terdisinformationproject.substack.com/p/the-emails-t…

Bridgen is the most public example but you have to question how the hell we ended up with MPs at an APPG platforming ppl who had called for their colleagues to be hanged
…terdisinformationproject.substack.com/p/uk-parliamen…

Fraser Nelson sets out the
narrative the Telegraph is going
for, it will be to argue that there is
no decent evidence for nearly any
measure and that we should have
done a Sweden, they will claim
the Great Barrington Declaration
was correct (they werent)

We have the expected call for reform of public health, this will be to put blocks on action being taken, and to pull in alternative experts like the ones who claimed there couldn't be a second wave

If transparency is so important will the Telegraph be releasing details of the meetings its editor had with Johnson in the run up to him ignoring SAGE and not introducing measures at the end of September 2020?

Will the Telegraph provide full access of the files to other journalists to verify that they aren't selectively quoting or omitting sections that are in the public interest?
