One of the first reporters to get beat on the Steele dossier story has the nerve to call the Columbia Journalism Review’s excoriation of Russiagate coverage a “big fail”:

Mainstream news journalists believe they are more fair and objective than the public, but Pew finds the opposite: where 76% of U.S. adults agree that "Journalists should always strive to give every side equal coverage," just 44% of journalists do.

Instead of tracking how “Russia” influenced American attitudes, Hamilton 68 simply collected a handful of mostly real, mostly American accounts, and described their organic conversations as Russian scheming:

Just silly:
John Kerry claims at Davos that 50% of all species have been killed
No. The right number is about 0.7%
Just one of the many remarkable things he's been saying at Davos

We now know both claims were false—the melancholy question that lingers is whether the people making them possessed enough self-awareness to realize it. One peril in building a delusional world is that you may end up living there. 2/2

This can't go on:
We used to spend 4% of global GDP on energy
Now, we spend 14%
Current energy crisis costs us 10% or $10 trillion each year
(caused both by war in Ukraine and bad, climate-focused policies)

1. THREAD: THE FACEBOOK FILES
Twitter is not the only social media site to face pressure to censor content. I obtained emails showing that the CDC had significant influence over covid moderation at Facebook and Instagram. Here’s what I found.

This article by “Revolt of the Public” author about the big-picture view of the #TwitterFiles is incisive, thoughtful, and in some places — as in his ruminations on possible counterattacks — scary: discoursemagazine.com/culture-and-so

Elites ignore the Twitter Files, saying they reveal nothing, but the public disagrees, strongly supporting an investigation. Now, shows how the authoritarian Woke mob threatens our freedom, and why we must stand up to it.

So @HillaryClinton, a former Senator, supports blocking the oversight powers of congress based on what we’ve shown in the #TwitterFiles were fantasies about Russian collusion. She needs to answer questions about the role her campaign played in manufacturing a public panic. twitter.com/KelFitton/stat…

Congressman, I’m an American citizen, I love my country, and accusing me of repeating “Kremlin talking points” when I report something you find inconvenient is beyond reprehensible. You and your sleazy red-baiting pals in congress should be ashamed.
Quote Tweet
What @mtaibbi leaves out is that the article he cites explains DOJ dropped the two cases because discovery would give the Russians information they could weaponize. @mtaibbi now wants you to doubt the DOJ’s case against 12 Russian agents. He’s spewing Kremlin talking points. twitter.com/mtaibbi/status…

US President Joe Biden is under investigation by his own Justice Department to determine whether his serial mishandling of classified information -- including Top Secret documents about Iran and Ukraine -- violated multiple federal criminal laws and should be prosecuted.

Now is the time to turn our attention to technology and other areas of Chinese influence on American society.
I discussed the threats from the Chinese Communist Party on this week.

Last month Michael Shellenberger and I were among the journalists who reported on the Twitter Files. In this video I made for Public, Michael explains what the Twitter Files revealed about the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, and why we need a new Church Committee to rein in the FBI.

Fake news is news that is ‘wanted’ to be shared; falseness is its secondary trait. Not every lie is shareable...
When the significance of the message is validated by dissemination, the scale of dissemination is the message.
