Matt Taibbi Drops Another Twitter Files Ahead of Testimony to Congress: The Censorship-Industrial Complex

Journalist Matt Taibbi on Thursday released another “Twitter Files” before his testimony before the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.

Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger appeared before Congress on Thursday.

2. “MONITOR ALL TWEETS COMING FROM TRUMP’S PERSONAL ACCOUNT/BIDEN’S PERSONAL ACCOUNT”

When #TwitterFiles reporters were given access to Twitter internal documents last year, we first focused on the company, which at times acted like a power above government.

Watched the hearing live today and it was very affirming about what we've known all along.

I had the misfortune of hearing then seeing this live on the tube as it was background noise. This woman, Plaskett is SO damned stupid, above and beyond, that her blathering bullshit above the usual din of leftwingnut blathering bullshit caught my attention and I had to look.

Can I say "moron" enough times? She is a Dem/leftingnut/MSM cliche. No stone unturned. Tried to turn the whole thing into putting the journalists on trial for the danger presented to the Twitter and Federal government employees outed as a result of their unprofessional, unethical and unfair behavior.

Plaskett is a perfect example of the fact that these people ARE out there.

“Republicans have brought in two of Elon Musk’s (https://thehill.com/people/elon-musk/)public scribes to release cherry-picked, out of context emails and screenshots designed to promote his chosen narrative — Elon Musk’s chosen narrative that is now being parroted by the Republicans because the Republicans think these witnesses will tell a story that is going to help them out politically,” said Del. Stacey Plaskett (https://thehill.com/people/stacey-plaskett/)(D-Virgin Islands), ranking member of the subcommittee.

Later in her opening statement, she referred to both Taibbi and Shellenberger as “so-called journalists,” which Taibbi later dinged her for in his own statement.
“Ranking member Plaskett, I’m not a so-called journalist. I’ve won the National Magazine Award, the I.F. Stone Award for independent journalism and I’ve written 10 books, including four New York Times best-sellers,” he said, as Jordan could be heard laughing in the background.

BTW, I see this as a strategy to do nothing but obstruct any and everything Republican/conservative with the same old mindless attacks in every direction from every direction.
