Conservative Twitter users erupted on Friday after the social media platform torpedoed #DNCLeaks from its trending-news feed after Wikileaks released 20,000 emails by Democratic National Committee staff members. Embarrassing emails sent and received by DNC members had enough momentum to propel the story to Twitter’s top “trending” news feed on Friday afternoon. The #DNCLeaks entry vanished in the evening, but returned 20 minutes later after users cried foul. The story had 250,000 tweets at the time it was pulled. The Washington Examiner then aggregated the stream of angry feedback by conservatives.

So? I mean ultimately what can come of this?
It will be a great test of whether or not social media has any real power at all.
It’s #BernieMustDisavow now lol
Predictable.
Sadly so.
#BernieMustDisavow has been trending though, it shows up than disappears..#ClintonCash was trending for a little bit but I just checked now and POOF its gone, gee, I wonder why
The reporter did not get this one right. It is not just conservatives that cried foul or mostly conservatives that cried foul.
And Twitter did not restore DNCLeaks. It put it back up at DNCLeak. That provided confusion and further kept it down in the news feed ranking.
Bernie Sanders and company seem the most upset. And the should be. Imagine a political establishment working against a member of its own party. Not like the GOPe would do that.
Gee whiz. Someone is trying to control the national dialogue.
So should we assume that the DNC threatened Twitter/NBC? Again?
“Get this off here now!”
They know a thing or two about deleting stuff.
Delete
Delete
Delete
And getting rid of undesirables.
Hmmm, I wonder who would want to do that?
maybe add #delete to the #DNCLeaks
Twitter is owned by liberal hacks, apparently they think they work for the DNC.
Twitter is just part of the Ministry of Truth...
Stop the retardation of America and the ability of foreign and domestic terrorists to coordinate attacks.
SHUT DOWN TWITTER
SHUT DOWN FACE BOOK
You find out at election time.
The “Tree of Liberty” is dying of thirst. Needs watering real, real bad.
With the internet the media cannot have complete control over the narrative.
Twitter is just part of the Ministry of Truth...

It’s a full court press like I’ve never seen in my life. We have to fight as hard as we can for the next few months to go around the corrupt and duplicitous medic machine and defeat these creeps. Please everybody, contribute money if you can, and volunteer for the Trump campaign. If we don’t win, no 1st amendment, no 2nd amendment. Forget freedom of association, of assembly, of religion, and the means to protect yourself. And that will be just the start. No joke, friends, it’s getting serious.
GO TRUMP!
We should troll the bernies and and hillary supporters with this...
