    The guy who made that Trump knockout video tweeted by Trump earlier today, also made this meme of CNN reporters, with Jewish stars on them.

    the pearl clutching over the tweets is getting old. why not just say 'sounds like he's got something to hide. if he does, we'll find it."??

    "I think it is unseemly that the president would attack journalists for doing their jobs, & encourage such anger at the media" --

    agreeeeeeeeee

    Point being: his tweets aren't really going around mass media, as he insists. They mainly get attention through mass media.

    I'm also just saying this as somebody who's had dozens and dozens of long talks with Twitter about individual harassment cases!

    ppl r mad abt this. but twitter is not required to decide what's presidential or not. it's a social network, not a potus morality watchdog

    Replying to @cwarzel
    let's also be clear: twitter didn't suspend Kathy Griffin after her Trump beheading tweet. And that's way more explicitly threatening

    they'll argue that releasing that info makes it easier to game for trolls but i think they're hiding behind how arbitrary enforcement can be

    once a tweet crosses a threshold of user reports or becomes newsworthy enough, twitter explicitly notes why they're doing what they're doing

    Best thing Twitter can do here (& it never will) is to be transparent & release a report on both actions and non actions on big accounts

    that's not saying it excuses behavior. but twitter is in a bad position and is playing it VERY conservatively when it comes to suspension

    that's because bar is so high on harassment. especially 4 celebs/big accounts. there basically has to be ZERO doubt it's a dangerous threat

    perhaps if Trump tweeted that gif aimed at one person and not a global news org, you'd have a compelling argument but still!

    i get the outrage. but twitter won't see this as promoting violence they'll see it as metaphor for trump winning in his fight against press

    Replying to @cwarzel
    Rules also prohibit *promoting* violence.

    But will say that -- as always -- twitter hiding behind 'we don't comment on individual accounts' only adds to the confusion on this stuff

    u can make a case it shld b lower for president because ppl might be excited by it and take their own shots at cnn but that's slippery slope

    Twitter takes context into account on this stuff. this will not be seen as a specific threat. and twitter's bar is VERY VERY high for potus

    controversial opinion but a dumb wrestling gif (even if sent by president and even if in awful taste) is not a violation of twitter rules

    Feels like a decent time to re-up this from Thursday! Trump has only one true ideology: Destroy The Media
