Lolllll...the CEO of NPR is complaining about Elon labeling NPR's Twitter account "US State affiliated media"

They should all stop using Twitter. They are using a privately owned website run by an egomaniacal narcissist who *NEEDS* attention, and continuing to post and break stories there.

They know that he's a dip💩 so why are they complaining when he acts like a dip💩?

Yes to this -> "A vigorous, vibrant free press is essential to the health of our democracy.”

You know what's *not* essential though? *TWITTER*

They can just stop using it.

The Twitter 'Shadow Ban' bug gets an official CVE : CVE-2023-29218 👇🏾

"The Twitter Recommendation Algorithm through ec83d01 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (reduction of reputation score) by arranging for multiple Twitter accounts to coordinate negative signals regarding a target account, such as unfollowing, muting, blocking, and reporting, as exploited in the wild in March and April 2023,"

Taibbi is such a hack. Lying blatantly on Twitter and Substack is a lot easier than when you are confronted by an interviewer who is very good and asks pointed questions with receipts for all to see.

Watch him get schooled here by @mehdihasan

And then Taibbi corrected *3* of his tweets *AFTER* saying that he "stood by his reporting"

LOLLLLL

@alaric

Taibbi *demanded* to go on @mehdihasan show and got *ABSOLUTELY EMBARRASSED and HUMILIATED*, but like all grifters and charlatans, he's doubling down and claiming that he was "attacked" and that his "reporting" is accurate.

LOLLLLL..perfect time for this Dril tweet 👇🏾

We need Dril on Mastodon...

Detailed takedown of Taibbi aka by @emptywheel

"As to the factual dispute, there is none. and his Elmo-whisperer Mike Benz are wrong. The error stems from either an inability to read an academic methodology statement or the ethic among these screencap boys that says you can make any claim you want so long as you have a screencap with a key word in it."

This is what Elon and his paid "journalists" including Taibbi, Weiss and Shellenberger are doing, trying to discredit how central the orange 🤡is to election disinformation in the US all while racking up those Substack subs and 💵s

@alaric

And here is @mmasnick with another devastating takedown of the lying, grifting Substack bro Taibbi aka

*"There remains no there there. It’s less than a Potemkin village. There isn’t even a façade. This is the Emperor’s New Clothes for a modern era. Taibbi is pointing to a naked emperor and insisting that he’s clothed in all sorts of royal finery, whereas anyone who actually looks at the emperor sees he’s naked."*
