Political stories to share in the dark
Facebook and Twitter have both been accused of violating the first amendment rights of the New York Post by censoring an article that the post published referencing emails found about Hunter Biden.
I would say you can go to Twitter or Facebook to find the article but you cannot. The article has been banned from being published, and the algorithms are even stopping private messaging from sharing the link to the New York Post.
Instead you have to go about it the old-fashioned way and go directly to the post website itself.
Meanwhile the potential issue of censorship has become a hot topic on Facebook, and Twitter. Users of both social media platforms are actively sharing the screenshots of the New York post main page about the boat and emails and protesting their right to share the link.
Here is a great video to explain the background and aftermath
Major media stars and also the president have weighed in on this on Facebook, and today Ted Cruz announced that subpoenas will be issued for Jack Dorsey a Twitter for him to appear next Friday under oath before the Senate Judiciary committee.
In the meantime, CEO Jack opined on Twitter that the communication regarding the banning of the link was not handled very well.

Report: RUSSIAN HACKERS share personal data of almost every voter in Michigan, and a million more in Arkansas, Connecticut, North Carolina, and Florida
This news developing in the Russian paper Kommersant…
Data reportedly appeared on the Darkweb thanks to a user named Gorka9.. Since then it is reported that Russian Internet users have shared the personal data of nearly every voter in Michigan (7.6 million of the state’s 7.8 million voters), as well as the information of another million voters in Arkansas, Connecticut, North Carolina, and Florida..
Even more:
According to Kommersant, the voter data was released online for free, but the newspaper says forum members apparently used the U.S. government’s own “Rewards for Justice” program to earn money on the stolen information by reporting the election interference to the State Department. One forum member told the newspaper that he received $4,000 for sharing a hyperlink with U.S. officials to the leaked database of Connecticut voters..
BUT
A spokesperson for the U.S. State Department told journalist Christopher Miller that the agency has yet to pay “any rewards from the August 5 Rewards for Justice announcement.”
Another reporter tonight is calling it a nonthingburger at this point. .Kevin Rothrock writes, “Looks like the Kommersant story is mostly a nothingburger at this point, at least from a U.S. perspective. For Russianists, however, this is interesting insofar as (1) why did Kommersant run this story? and (2) what exactly are Russian hackers doing with these open-access data?”
What is real?
What is true?
What is dark.DEVELOPING..

The Unconventions of 2020: ratings sink
Democrats began this year’s hot political season with a dull pre-taped snooze fest on the first night of their DNC convention. They will do this for the rest of the week. Republicans will join them next week.
People are responding with……..snooze.
Neilson states that 5.7 million people tuned in to the first night of the Democratic National Convention on the major broadcast networks, cutting the viewership of four years ago in half as the virtual event proved a tougher sell than the traditional live gathering.
From 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. New York time, Monday’s convention debut drew 2.1 million viewers on Walt Disney Co.’s ABC, 1.9 million on Comcast Corp.’s NBC and 1.7 million on ViacomCBS Inc.’s CBS, according to Nielsen’s fast affiliate data. About 11.6 million people watched the first night of the event on those networks four years ago between 10 p.m. and 11:30 p.m., the website TV by the Numbers reported at the time.

SUNDAY MORNING LIVE: DONALD TRUMP ASKS IF THE FCC SHOULD…
SUNDAY MORNING LIVE: DONALD TRUMP ASKS IF THE FCC SHOULD INVESTIGATE SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE!
The FEC examines improper campaign contributions while the FCC originated the fairness doctrine – a regulation that requires the news give equal time to both sides. However the doctrine was discontinued in 1987 and is no longer on the books. Additionally, when it was used by the FCC as a method of distributing television and radio licenses, it was found not to apply to elected officials.
Also, ‘Saturday Night Live’ is a comedy show and its satire is protected free speech.

Rep OMAR somewhat censured
The House of Representatives adopted a resolution condemning all forms of bigotry (including anti-Semitism) after a long day of linguistic gymnastics that saw it morph from censuring Rep. Ilhan Omar to frowning on… intolerance.
The thrice-rewritten bill was barely recognizable as a rebuke of the alleged anti-Semitism of the Minnesota Democrat, instead bristling with denunciation of bigotry against every imaginable minority group in the US – a process that began when Omar’s supporters requested the language be modified to include Muslims
The final resolution veered close to self-parody after Democrats insisted Latinos, Asians, Pacific-Islanders, and LGBTQ people be added to the “traditionally persecuted peoples” list, pushing the vote back an hour on Thursday afternoon. Internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II, the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, and even the Dreyfus affair – which took place in 1800s France! – were name-dropped in the final version of the bill.

Attention deficit democracy
The national mood is dark..
Ever since that dreaded blood moon—oh and an meteorite hit the moon DURING THE TOTAL ECLIPSE that was seen from earth this weekend. .The Covington Catholic High School fiasco is a symptom of an even greater problem we face: WE have no time to get to know a story..let it develop..we judge quickly and hate even quicker when something newsworthy bursts open and makes the “viral” rounds..There are Hollywood stars and media moguls proclaiming that the children involved should be doxxed, that someone should put the young teens in wood chippers.. and that the school and teachers need to be “taught a lesson”—and Saturday Night Live ‘comedy writers’ saying they will give fellacio to whoever punches the MAGA teen..While the media and some stars had to back track on the video when MORE video and more information was released and known, others line just don’t care.. Everyone is dying to give their political view on the topic. They are spreading their hate on social media… on Facebook and Twitter we are developing into de-evolution..George Orwell wrote of a ‘Face crime” in 1984..This young teen, who now is taking to media to defend himself as his image has been spread around the world and his family and friends have been threatened with bodily harm.You can read the full report on what occurred somewhere—maybe you’ll get an unbiased report here or there.. All sources seem shaded just a bit towards their own side … their own political end game in mind..
But in mind is how we are three seconds away from hate at all times on Twitter.. how people can make horrid comments about anyone at any time and call for violence.. Twitter may suspend some. But not all..and in the end the attention deficit democracy spreads far and wide.. with common sense, true journalism, and the dream of America falling by the wayside.We are divided. And when divided, much easier to be conquered… -
Trump insults reporters, claims Acosta video wasn’t altered
Trump insults reporters, claims Acosta video wasn’t altered:
Phillip asked Trump whether he wanted Matt Whitaker, the newly-appointed acting attorney general, to rein in Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
“What a stupid question you asked,” Trump replied. “What a stupid question and I watch you a lot and you ask a lot of stupid questions.”
In response, CNN said through its Twitter feed that Phillip’s question wasn’t stupid. “In fact, she asked the most pertinent question of the day,” CNN said. Trump’s insults “are nothing new. And never surprising,” CNN said.
