Twitter has waged a jihad against conservatives and a jihad against the truth since Donald Trump won the election in 2016.
Since that time, it has been well documented that Twitter has silenced, censored and banned conservative content.
Meanwhile, violent content and threats by radical far left extremists like Antifa and Black Lives Matter goes mostly untouched.
Two weeks ago Twitter censored a report by The New York Post on Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden’s questionable and likely corrupt international business dealings.
On Monday Twitter announced it will only allow seven approved outlets to announce election results. Every other outlet will be flagged.
These tech tyrants are doing their VERY BEST to destroy Freedom of Speech in America!. What horrible people!
Via Axios:
Twitter on Monday provided more details about its policies around tweets that declare election results, and named the seven outlets it will lean on to help it determine whether a race is officially called.
Driving the news: The list includes ABC News, AP, CNN, CBS News, Decision Desk HQ, Fox News and NBC News — all outlets that experts agree have verified, unbiased decision desks calling elections.
Our thought bubble: Some conservatives have alleged that Twitter is biased against them. In the past few weeks, data from the Stanford Cable TV Analyzer shows that Fox News has discussed Jack Dorsey and Big Tech censorship at length.
Fox News’ Decision Desk is considered very authoritative and is highly-respected amongst media and politics insiders. By including Fox News’ decision desk in this list, Twitter is saying that it believes its decision desk is verified and legitimate.
Details: Twitter previously said that it would require either an announcement from state election officials, or a public projection from at least two authoritative, national news outlets that make independent calls about the race before letting tweets about the results go by unlabeled.
If one of the seven outlets tweets from its main handle a result before another outlet from the group of seven confirm it, Twitter won’t label that tweet.
If a reporter or any Twitter user tweets a result without citing one of the select outlets for its decision, that tweet may be labeled.
The Twitter will label will say, “Official sources may not have called the race when this tweeted. Find out more.” That label will link to Twitter’s curated elections information hub.
It's just a new plateau. More increases in fakeness coming. The press is all communist now. First amendment.
I guess I will flounder for a few days...because I almost never read twitter.
Unauthorized election results. Very Early Returns indicate the President has been re elected.....you heard it here first. :)
I don't know. Maybe they do the legwork indepedently.
They are pretty flat in their reporting on PBS....................
It's one of those things that we in the peanut gallery have no control over anyway.
The month following Bush v. Gore election got tiring.
Twitter is mostly disinformation, it mirrors the news. At the same time, depending on who one follows, there are contrary remarks and even links to raw source material.
Why no MSNBC? LOL.
Make me glad that I left Twitter a few weeks ago. From the looks of their recent earnings report, I wasn’t the ONLY one.
Since when does Twitter authorize squat?
Twitter is populated by fools. And 10% of the “users” post something well over 80% of the posts.
Usually, the loudest people in the room—with nothing but bad things to say—are not the leaders in a group.
The best thing Trump could do is announce he is dumping Twitter on Nov 4th. I would love to see that business whither on the vine.
Gee! How did we ever get election results pre-twitter.
Twitter will be a pebble in a stream as the election results flow over and around them. Pretty good plan to make themselves irrelevant.
I read the title of this as:
Far Left Twitter Identifies Only 7 “Approved” Outlets to Denounce Presidential Election Results
It looks like the plan is to get the media to hold off declaring a winner so that they can get their narrative established.
....so says the Ministry of Truth.
True possibility
If it wasn’t on the teevee news it never happened.
If it was on the teehee news it must be true.
...according to low information voters
Hey Twitter, remember AOL? Me neither.
Remember My Space? Me neither.
Remember Telex? Telegrams? Me neither.
Adios Twitter. Alas, I never knew you.
Who/What is Decision Desk HQ?
