"False according to politifact".

The political circle jerk.

32. This inspires a long Slack that reads like an @TitaniaMcGrath parody. “I agree it’s a joke,” concedes a Twitter employee, “but he’s also literally admitting in a tweet a crime.”

After 2016, they were not going to let orange man win again. The intel agencies, MSM, and big tech all sold their soul to the DNC and it's going to take decades to get that trust back to half of this country.

The group declares Huck’s an “edge case,” and though one notes, “we don’t make exceptions for jokes or satire,” they ultimately decide to leave him be, because “we’ve poked enough bears.”

So basically what we have here is the people that were actually participating in fascism were calling everyone else fascist?

33. Roth suggests moderation even in this absurd case could depend on whether or not the joke results in “confusion.” This seemingly silly case actually foreshadows serious later issues:

34. In the docs, execs often expand criteria to subjective issues like intent (yes, a video is authentic, but why was it shown?), orientation (was a banned tweet shown to condemn, or support?), or reception (did a joke cause “confusion”?). This reflex will become key in J6.

35. In another example, Twitter employees prepare to slap a “mail-in voting is safe” warning label on a Trump tweet about a postal screwup in Ohio, before realizing “the events took place,” which meant the tweet was “factually accurate”:

You can see with every slack message they take one tiny step and justify their predetermined outcome already in their minds. These gay dudes worked themselves into a compliance frenzy to take out Trump and 'conservative" voices guided and cajoled by DHS and the FBI.

Friday night media dumps yay! Dat coverage doe!


I think you are looking at this incorrectly. If this was a Monday, the traditional media still wouldn’t pick this up. Dropping it on a Friday allows people to consume it over the weekend because of more free time. Majority of people aren’t tuning into news when they get off work Monday-Friday.

They consume what’s going on in the world over the weekend because they have more time to lay around and scroll through their phones.

How can they tell some random person is being serious or misleading. Bias, that’s how!!

36. “VERY WELL DONE ON SPEED” Trump was being “visibility filtered” as late as a week before the election. Here, senior execs didn’t appear to have a particular violation, but still worked fast to make sure a fairly anodyne Trump tweet couldn’t be “replied to, shared, or liked”:
