Axios Media Reporter Praises Tech Censorship; Intelligence Officials Working with Silicon Valley

Axios media reporter Sara Fischer told a BBC Radio 4 panel discussion Wednesday that tech companies who had suppressed news about Hunter Biden’s emails had done their civic duty.

Fischer praised the “defense systems” that were used to suppress last week’s New York Post story about Hunter Biden’s emails, which suggested that former Vice President Joe Biden had met in 2015 with an adviser to the corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma, on whose board Hunter served.

Joe Biden had previously denied ever discussing his son’s foreign business interests.

Fischer applauded the media’s reluctance to cover the story, and the suppression of the story by Twitter and Facebook, citing it as an example of how the media had learned from their mistakes in 2016, when they reported on information released by Wikileaks from the Democratic National Committee’s emails.

The emails revealed that DNC officials had attempted to tip the primary in favor of eventual nominee Hillary Clinton and against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

Fischer said that the “intelligence community had been working more closely with these tech companies” and warned them about stories based on emails that had been “illegally hacked” or “illegally obtained.”

She provided no evidence that the emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop were “hacked” or obtained in any illegal manner.

Later, she denied that there were “Democratic operatives” in tech companies, citing one example of a conservative executive at Facebook. The “fundamental question,” she said, was whether conservative groups were violating social media problems more than other groups.

She cited “white nationalism” and “populist movements” on the “far right,” and said that intelligence officials were “working with these platforms, keeping an eye on some of the communities that tend to lean far right.”

Axios doesn’t know what’s about to happen. Trump will win.

Axios is evil bump!

Sara Fischer is obviously mentally ill. She also was obviously never taught right from wrong. Her personal value system is almost 180 degrees from that held by most people. So spreading lies and misinformation for a living meshes perfectly with her own warped value system.

Axois defends tyranny. Water is wet. The sun rises in the East.

“Axios media reporter Sara Fischer told a BBC Radio 4 panel discussion”

and TDS-infected BBC would have lapped it up.

this is constantly being played or promoted on BBC World Service radio, almost as if they’re encouraging Tik Tokkers to interfere in the election.
features: the Tik Tok mob who faked the Trump Tulsa rally invite numbers;
loads of time for Matt Little, Minnesota Senator (Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party)...
Theo Bertram, TikTok’s director of government relations and public, former advisor to British Labour Prime Ministers, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, who worked for 8 years-plus for GOOGLE (LinkedIn):

just adding that BBC’s “Tik Tok Election” gets broadcast in US via NPR & affiliates.

irrelevant, but also gets aired on ABC Australia and probably CBC in Canada & others.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Axios’ own “Axis Sally”. She has shown how unethical she is, which is why she was hired by Axios in the first place.

The more the Biden hard drive is suppressed, the more people will want to find out about it. Strisand effect.

Seriously, why are Libs so wrong on every issue?

Thanks for the link, I didn’t watch the whole thing yet, thought.

My main contention is that tik-tok is Chinese in origin. Built in conjunction with the Communist Chinese who have very specific purposes and how it works.

I am very suspicious about being able to forklift a CHICOM application like Tik-Tok to a country like ours and trust “people” to disable the “cool observation social rules build into it”

Those people would have equal interest in improving it, not to mention ‘hidden features’.
