    Misinformation on Twitter is OK, as long as it suits someone's purpose - in this case the press.

    tl;dr - a "dashboard" for Russia, Russia, Russia ("Hamilton 68") information was a fraud. Twitter knew it, and the media lapped it up.

    Here it is, in a nutshell:

    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Now, the $64 question...Is any of this soaking into the public at large?

          “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

          Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

            I think some. Things do trickle in here and there.

            Please love yourself.

              I think the bigger question is whether this is starting to sink into the general Journalist conscience? Are they starting to consider just how far out of whack things have gotten? Have they started to realize that they are no longer challenging those in power but have instead been protecting and cocooning them?

                Nah.

                Because of the journalistic makeup of Big Media (they're 95%+ Dems) and the simple fact that nobody digs like they used to, because of budget, laziness, etc., I don't think things will change.
