    I think part of this feigned hysteria on the right about Castro’s (totally legitimate) use of public donor info is also part of a ploy to attack campaign finance disclosure laws. They’d like nothing more than for all money to be dark money

        Really good point. The constant GOP smearing of Soros with antisemitic tropes actually led to someone trying to murder him with a bomb https://twitter.com/KevinStine/status/1158920559385645056 …

        A lot of folks have rightly asked why reporters are playing along. I think it’s because they have an inability to draw distinctions between Trump’s incitement and what Castro has done here. Also a DEEP desire to #bothsides everything and to scold Democrats

        Scolding Republicans and especially Trump is no fun for reporters because the GOP has zero shame and doesn’t react. But reporters are very used to seeing past generations of Democrats cower before their accusatory fingers. It’s a form of power.

        Taking it a step further, highlighting Trump voters with the means to max out reflects poorly on the entire ‘every trump voter is low income/working class’ narrative that a lot of journalists are tied into.

        And this as well. It’s entirely okay to these reporters to publish stolen materials but tweeting legally and publicly disclosed data is “dangerous” (Haberman)https://twitter.com/deanbarker/status/1158927546374901761 …

        Siri, how do I mute reporters on twitter dot com complaining about public FEC data who are the same reporters who were duped into eagerly publishing communications stolen by a hostile power for the purpose of swaying a US election?

        Conservatives filed an (unsuccessful) lawsuit to remove info about donors who gave $ to repeal gay marriage in California. They’ll keep trying stuff like thishttps://www.huffpost.com/entry/prop-8-voter-anonymity-denied-by-judge_n_1082202 …

        Why are Republicans so desperate to fan faux outrage over a Texas Democrat? Maybe this explains it: “National Republicans are bracing for additional House retirements from Texas in the weeks to come” https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/06/us/politics/texas-shooting-democrats.html …
