The media’s silence on the ‘Twitter Files’ is shameful

No matter occurred to “All of the information that’s match to print,” and “Democracy dies in darkness,” the respective mottos of the 2 most influential newspapers within the nation, the New York Occasions and the Washington Submit?

Each morning, these august organs set the narrative for newsrooms throughout the nation, and but, repeatedly, we see them ignore tales that don’t go well with their very own agenda as propaganda purveyors for the Democratic Social gathering and the safety state.

This has been apparent of their non-coverage of Elon Musk’s Twitter Information, 4 batches over 10 days thus far, which have revealed a chilling censorship regime on the social media large, which little doubt is replicated throughout Large Tech, together with at Fb and Google.

We see proof of what we lengthy suspected, regardless of Twitter former CEO Jack Dorsey’s lies to Congress: Conservatives and medical professionals have been silenced, as a part of a crackdown on efficient dissent towards the federal government. From The Submit’s Hunter Biden laptop computer tales and criticism of the Biden administration’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal to Dr. Anthony Fauci’s bogus edicts on masks, lockdowns and the origins of COVID, censorship has been the order of the day. That needs to be a narrative of curiosity to journalists on the Occasions and WaPo.

The publications have largely ignored the reports on censorship on Twitter.

Menace to democracy

If something is an existential menace to democracy, it's Large Tech’s assault on free speech, in service to 1 facet of politics and underneath the instruction of intelligence operatives decided to rig elections towards recalcitrant Republicans. In actual fact, the lead company tasked with election safety, the FBI, is revealed as a chief offender.

The very best description for what the Occasions and WaPo are doing is “totschweigetaktik,” an important German phrase for “loss of life by silence,” a tactic to kill concepts or information tales by ignoring them.

Other than defending Twitter’s 2020 resolution to censor The Submit, the Occasions has not coated the revelations of the final 10 days, save a few tales smearing Twitter’s freedom-minded new proprietor, Elon Musk.

He “sounds quite a bit like a Republican — and, generally, quite a bit like Mr. [Donald] Trump,” the Occasions opined, delivering the worst attainable insult within the eyes of its 6.3 million subscribers.

Whereas it studiously ignores the Twitter Information, the Occasions has given ample house to Musk’s critics, together with amplifying laughably bogus information from the propagandists on the Anti-Defamation League, of an “unprecedented rise in hate speech” on the platform, promptly scotched by Musk.

The so-called “paper of document” additionally talked up makes an attempt by still-in-favor Fb to construct a rival platform to Twitter.


Atone for Twitter’s censorship of The Submit’s Hunter Biden laptop computer story


Over on the Washington Submit, resident disinformation knowledgeable Taylor Lorenz went on TV to falsely declare that Elon Musk had laid off the employees who monitored baby sexual exploitation materials. The alternative is the case. On taking up Twitter, Musk declared his “precedence #1” was to take away such materials and, in two weeks, did extra to cleanse Twitter of kid abuse content material than earlier administration had performed in a decade.

The WaPo additionally reported that Musk was being investigated by San Francisco authorities for creating makeshift bedrooms at Twitter HQ for workers to sleep in, which he denied.

‘Wormtongue’

NBC, CBS and ABC devoted a complete of zero minutes to the Twitter Information, in accordance with Fox Information.

NBC’s “disinformation” reporter Ben Collins’ contribution was to tweet a “yawn” emoji.

Sure, it’s an enormous yawn that so many former FBI and CIA officers have been embedded in senior administration roles at Twitter and Fb. And never simply the FBI’s prime lawyer and Russiagate quarterback, James Baker, who was employed by Twitter 5 months earlier than the 2020 election; at the very least a dozen others joined after Trump gained the 2016 election.

It’s an enormous yawn to see proof that Twitter grew to become a propaganda arm of the Democratic Social gathering and federal authorities businesses, and that the FBI has been coercing social media firms to violate the First Modification and intervene with elections.

Musk, a longtime Democratic voter, at the very least is getting a crash course in media malfeasance.
Sunday morning, he threw one other cat among the many pigeons: “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci.”

The incendiary tweet amassed virtually 800,000 likes within the subsequent 10 hours.

When YouTuber Viva Frei, aka Canadian lawyer David Freiheit, elaborated on the purpose — “Fauci lied underneath oath, engaged in acquire of operate analysis in a Chinese language lab, jeopardized the whole planet, and arguably contributed to the deaths of a whole lot of 1000's of individuals” — Musk replied, “Right.”

His Fauci diss drew speedy condemnation from deep-state characters like former CIA Director John Brennan, a confirmed liar and confessed Communist.

The Hunter Biden laptop story was brushed off as misinformation by many major outlet.

“Dr. Fauci is a nationwide hero who will probably be remembered for generations to come back for his innate goodness & many contributions to public well being,” tweeted Brennan, accusing Musk of “fueling public hate & divisions.”

Contemplating Brennan, together with 50 fellow dishonest former intel officers, signed the mendacity letter that candidate Joe Biden used to get off the hook within the closing 2020 presidential debate, falsely claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop computer was Russian disinformation, his imprimatur is just not precisely useful to Fauci the beagle-killer.

However Brennan and the remainder of the Soiled 51 will discover themselves in entrance of the brand new Republican-controlled Home quickly sufficient, having to account underneath oath for his or her interference within the 2020 election.

This time, you possibly can guess they gained’t get away with mendacity.

Musk additionally foreshadowed upcoming Twitter Information on Fauci and COVID, the suppression of scientific info and the silencing of eminent medical doctors equivalent to Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, architect of the Nice Barrington Declaration.

“Now issues get spicy,” Musk tweeted.

He describes Twitter as having been “Wormtongue to the world,” referring to the sly, snakelike character in “Lord of the Rings.”

“Twitter is each a social media firm and against the law scene,” he says.

Google, too

Nevertheless it’s not simply Twitter, in fact. Musk has proven us a glimpse behind the scenes of an enormous psychological warfare operation throughout Large Tech to manage our ideas and to govern the information and views we will see.

Google might be the worst offender.

As California information scientist Dr Robert Epstein, by the way a Democrat, advised the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2019, Google is a “severe menace to democracy and human autonomy.”

Google makes its $257 billion pot of gold a 12 months from being an intrusive surveillance platform, he says. He has proven how search outcomes are manipulated earlier than elections to favor one facet of politics — Democrats, who, in flip, defend the rising energy of Large Tech towards legislative restraint, assisted by former US intel officers who foyer for the worldwide companies.

Extra just lately, the First Modification warriors at MRC Free Speech America demonstrated that Google manipulated search ends in final week’s Senate runoff in Georgia, to raise victorious Democrat Raphael Warnock and bury point out of Republican Herschel Walker.

The incoming Home GOP has quite a bit on its plate, however tackling election interference by Large Tech needs to be a prime precedence.
