Imagine what the nightly reaction on CNN and MSNBC would be if Mike Pence’s former spokesperson was censoring Joe Biden’s tweets during a presidential election? https://t.co/g6Q9ZWKMRb— David Harsanyi (@davidharsanyi) August 12, 2020

From linked article:

When CNN hired Sarah Isgur, a former Jeff Sessions spokeswoman and now staff writer at The Dispatch, last year to be a political editor at its Washington bureau, left-wing media types put on a full-court press to smear her professionalism. The CNN newsroom — which, last I looked, included former Obama official Jim Sciutto — was reportedly “demoralized” by her very presence.

Conservatives, and it’s probably fair to say that Isgur is a pretty moderate one, aren’t welcome in mainstream journalism. We don’t need to go through all the numbers and polls to stress this point. Journalists have long jumped back and forth between Democratic Party politics and media gigs. The job is the same. The venue is different. I bring this up because, as my former colleague Sean Davis points out, Nick Pacilio, Kamala Harris’s former press secretary, is now in charge of deciding announcing what the president of the United States can and can’t say on Twitter to his 85 million followers. Twitter has already removed debatable contentions by the president — or, contentions no more misleading than any number of Joe Biden allegations. The point of removing tweets, I assume, has more to do with being able to call Trump a liar than worrying about his spreading misleading information.

Totally, verminously despicable. It's no wonder a vast swath of digital warriors were cut from the platform. We know they know the plan. Moves and counter-moves.

Just caught up after a 10 day visit from grandkids. Gotta see if I can set up a new email and manage to create a new twatter.
