This NBC News affiliate article spread disinformation from US government-funded think tanks. It should be documented. But now it's memory-holed.

"This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine".

Why? @internetarchive
Still shows up in the local search results of NBC affiliate "5 on Your Side" site but clicking just gives 404 error message. ksdk.com/search?q=russi…
@internetarchive *from at least 1 US government-funded think tank: German Marshall Fund, which created Alliance for Securing Democracy, which created #Hamilton68. racket.news/p/move-over-ja…

UPDATE: I was contacted and thanked by @internetarchive's @MarkGraham for pointing this out. The page can now be archived.

Unfortunately, this is now after the article was removed, so the false NBC affiliate story on "Russian Bots" has already been memory-holed.

Why?

🧵1/5 ImageImageImageImage
It seems that only the "Russian Bots" propaganda article was excluded from archiving, as KSDK.com has a largely uninterrupted archive history @internetarchive. 2/5 ImageImage
I was told: "Generally speaking URLS may be excluded from the Wayback Machine at the request of rights holders", but also, "Generally speaking we do not comment on specific exclusions". 3/5

It doesn't get much more disgusting than this.

Julian Assange is a noble peace nominated, award-winning journalist, who, among other things, uncovered U.S. war crimes and 15K previously unreported civilian deaths—the equivalent of five 9/11's.

But this is how MSNBC reports...🧵
Rick Wilson is disinformation incarnated

Even WaPo & NYT express deep concerns because Assange is being prosecuted for journalism.

Also, even Assange's U.S. prosecutor admits he can't point to a single person who's been physically harmed as a result of WL publications!

/2
Even some of Wilson's fellow MSNBC propagandists admit the Assange case threatens the lives of ***all journalists*** who dare report on the secret truths of the powerful actors in the world. /3

Recent #TwitterFiles from @AlexBerenson show Pfizer board member Scott Gottlieb petitioning Twitter to remove this accurate tweet saying that kids have a practically 0% chance of dying from COVID.

Here's a🧵on disinfo/misinfo greatly exaggerating the risk of Covid to kids!

1/18
In April 2020, we were told a newborn baby was "the youngest victim of COVID-19". The CT Governor used this as an example to stress his message that "this is a virus that attacks our most fragile without mercy". The story was false. 2/18
Months after the media reported the false story, @davealtimari discovered the baby did not die from COVID. The medical examiner listed "unsafe sleep in bassinet with soft bedding" as a cause of death, i.e. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome from suffocation. 3/18

BREAKING: I made a vid showing election fraud claims from both Dems & Repubs. In no way did I advance or endorse any of the claims. For documenting this history, YouTube just deleted it, blocked me, & gave me a strike—a step toward deleting my entire channel. @TeamYouTube 🧵/1
Again, I never endorsed or advanced the claims. The title makes clear that they are nothing but "Claims". Also, virtually every clip was broadcast by mainstream outlets WITH YOUTUBE CHANNELS (NBC, FOX, PBS, CSPAN, etc). Why doesn't @TeamYouTube delete their videos too? /2
Curiously, my other vid w only Dem claims of a "stolen" election is still allowed on YT, while the vid that includes Repubs making similar claims isn't. Neither 2016 nor 2020 was stolen, yet challenging the integrity of only one of the two is allowed? 🤔/3

A new Senate report says the COVID-19 pandemic was “most likely the result of a research-related incident”. Merely suggesting that used to get you called a “conspiracy theorist” by the so-called fact-checkers, and banned from Facebook. Never forget 🧵 help.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
NIH Director Francis Collins emailed Fauci asking what they could do "to help put down this very destructive conspiracy". The media was disturbingly eager to help cover up the likely origin of the most significant world event in modern history. Nbd! 2/16
NPR called it a "baseless conspiracy theory" with "zero evidence" while propping up another theory, with LESS evidence to support it, because "scientists say". 3/16

Remember when all establishment media concluded Russia was "most likely" responsible for the bombings ("leaks") of the Nord Stream pipelines? Typically, this was presented as an "expert" opinion, based on no evidence whatsoever, but some coverage was even worse!🧵 1/12
It doesn't make sense for Russia to commit a "terrorist attack" on its own pipelines—owned and built by Russia, so, of course, CBS News completely omitted that rather crucial detail. (9/28)

CBS News Site: cbsnews.com/video/ukraine-…
CBS News YouTube: 2/12
Fittingly, after the disinformative report, the CBS News host sat down for an exclusive interview with the Director of the CIA—perhaps the most notorious institutional purveyor of disinformation in world history. 3/12
