12/9/22; update 12/11/22:
Bari Weiss published Part Two of the Twitter Files last night. Following is the tweet which spans 30, yes 30, individual tweets. It also announces in the 30th post that Matt Taibbi will be later presenting Part Three.
This release reveals 'blacklists' of Twitter users, almost exclusively right wing political commentators or people with opinions counter to the government COVID messaging. More direct proof of politically motivated censorship. So, what?
1. Well,
the left and corporate media has been saying since Part One was released that there is nothing here. That Twitter, and for that matter, YouTube, Google, Apple, Facebook, etc., are private companies. There is no free speech issue in private companies. Private companies can promote whatever they want assuming it is not unlawful or harmful to the public (think tobacco companies). That was true with Part One and now is still true with Part Two. But, there is more, below.
2. It has also been stated that if government involvement can be found, that is a horrendous constitutional violation. TBD.
What is critically important about this news is what has been stated for decades now, that American media is a tool of the political left and the Democrat party. Social Media is also media and this convicts them individually and collectively on this point. Social Media is also tied to corporate media very tightly these days to highlight and promote certain media stories. Current media also likes to portray FoxNews, Breitbart, NewsMax, OAN and others as 'right wing' news and 'conspiracy theorists'. FoxNews, Breitbart, OAN, NewsMax and and the others, do not refute that right wing label. Conspiracy theorists is just a political narrative, but consistent with the left wing focus and enables this bias to hide behind supposed legitimate news.
The mainstream, corporate media, and now clearly social media, refuse to proudly state their own left wing, Democrat preferences.
CNN's Don Lemon just 10 days ago stated publicly there is no left wing bias at CNN! Apparently they will never admit the obvious.
These twitter releases prove that Social Media, like corporate media, is a mouthpiece for the Democrat party and other left wing causes. The public needs to be aware of that clear differentiation within the American news media. Until further notice, ALL media should be assumed to be biased. There is no media without a political bias.
In addition, the media & social media motivations should send chills down the spine of every Democrat (maybe not those fully brainwashed) and Independents (possibly, if they can get past their Never-Trump attitudes). The motivation and then the actions of citizens to censor free speech in the attempt to win political messaging and by extension elections is at a minimum deceitful, and the maximum illegal. The deceitful part should tell us all that obviously these people are not to be trusted.
On the dishonesty point, this screen shot in Bari Weiss' post brings into
the question Jack Dorsey's continued denial, one before Congress, of shadow banning.
An then the files point to the fact that Jack actually knwew.
To prove that point, as I said in Twitter Files Part one post,
Nothing to see here, there will continue to be a minimizing (censoring) of this story on the left wing media. Below is a very plain & short report in
The Hill. There is also an old (October)
New York Times report on Dan Bongino and his success with Facebook even in the face of shadow banning and blacklisting his brand.
If you want clarity in your news stories, you must 'vary your news sources'. These twitter files make that crystal clear.
