Democrats attack journalists for covering Deep State’s censorship of Twitter

[Ordinary Guy]

It was the Traitor who wanted his DOJ to tell Saturday Night Live to stop Teasing him.

Trump Wanted His Justice Department to Stop ‘SNL’ From Teasing Him

“SNL” amounted to “nothing less than unfair news coverage and Dem commercials,” Trump tweeted in 2018, pondering whether his thought “should be tested in courts, can’t be legal?”

It was the Traitor Who Pressured Disney To Censor.....Jimmy Kimmel.

Trump White House Pressured Disney to Censor … Jimmy Kimmel

The Trump White House pressured Disney to censor Jimmy Kimmel after the then-president was angered by the late-night host making fun of him.

Nice the OP chooses to ignore the Traitor attempts at outright censorship of the media, but bitches about fucking Twitter. Which Musk is destroying bit by little bit.

you can't defend current democratic actions, so you deflect, grow up baby

Wow...could you imagine if they called the press the "enemy of the people"? What would your reaction would have been then?

so you are switching brushes? broad paint strokes on a whole group are not even in the same boat as personal attacks on two

If there was any doubt that the Twitter Files have struck a nerve and deep fear in the Powers That Be, Thursday’s disgraceful behavior by Democrats in a hearing featuring journalists Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger eviscerated it.

Taibbi and Shellenberger had not even uttered a word yet when the Ranking Member of the House Judiciary subcommittee Del. Stacey Plaskett, D-U.S. Virgin Islands, referred to the witnesses as "so-called journalists" in her opening statement. The pair glanced at each other, clearly surprised and confused by the utterly unprovoked attack.

From there it only got worse. Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-Texas, asked the pair of scribes if they were being paid to testify, again to an absolutely shocked response from them. She went on to try to force Taibbi to reveal information about his sources, a journalistic Rubicon he rightfully refused to cross.

The chilling message, and one meant for all journalists, was crystal clear: if you report uncomfortable facts that Democrats don’t like, they will attack you and try to discredit you and your work.

The true nature of Democrats is being revealed for all to see, they are masters of deception that have no real interest in the citizens that elect them.

The pair were unaware that the former 1-term fuckup's WH asked several private companies including Qwatter and Disney to either take down tweets or censure a comedian based on the material.

So, basically shilling for their deep state.

Snowflakes do the same thing on this board - they attempt to attack the source when they dcan't disprove / dr unk what is being reported.

Its a childish ignorant tactic that does nothing except pretty much prove what is being reported is true.

The Biden WH has not asked a private company to delete or not report anything.

why do you keep bringing shit up?

 

[rightwinger]

why do you keep bringing shit up?

Because you are a moron and I like to poke you with a stick

and you are a dipshit that shows your stupid shit to full rooms just to hear the laughter at the ignorant right winger

Those rightwingers didn't know that the previous 1-term fuckup weaponized his office against private companies.

Much like densantos in florida.

Can't imagine an honest to God reason for someone to voluntarily hang out in a place where people laugh at him/her/it all day.

So you are pretending that Trump never did that either?

What if one of the reporters was female and the Democrats accused them of being on their period...as Trump did with a reporter?

Would you support that?

Would that be in the same boat?

You must not have been following the twitter dumps, Taibbi mentioned what you describe.

But Taibbi also touched on other content moderation actions, writing that by 2020 it was "routine" for Twitter to receive requests to remove content from third-party actors.

"Both parties had access to these tools. For instance, in 2020, requests from both the Trump White House and the Biden campaign were received and honored," he said, adding that "celebrities and unknowns alike could be removed or reviewed at the behest of a political party."
_______________________________
In another tweet, he added: "Twitter acting by itself to suppress free speech is not a 1st amendment violation, but acting under orders from the government to suppress free speech, with no judicial review, is."
__________________________________
The Biden campaign was a private entity — not the government — at the time of the request. Trump's White House, however, was the government, but Musk did not address reporting that said they also made and were granted requests.

Taibbi did not provide evidence the White House — or the Biden campaign — "ordered" or coerced Twitter into removing content. The government asking a private company to do something and the company agreeing is not inherently a violation of the First Amendment, as David French wrote in The Atlantic.
_________________________________
Taibbi wrote that the request and remove system "wasn't balanced" and favored Democrats, citing campaign donations made by Twitter staff. He did not provide evidence the system favored Democrats or that tweets were removed that did not violate the terms of service.

Twitter granted requests from both the Trump White House and the Biden campaign to remove content in 2020, report says

Not one of them dealt with reality of the twitter files content, only attacks on the journalists......LOL

What do you think the consequences should be for an administration to ask a social media company to remove posts?

Asking or demanding?

Asking or demanding?

What's the difference?
