Reminder that #MattyDickPics speaks good enough Russian he should be expected to see the Russian idiom in these fabricated docs.

I like the nickname that @emptywheel uses for Matt Taibbi because of his fascination with the #HunterBiden pictures and such, #MattyDickPics

This is an effort to make it easier to steal elections. It is 100% about fascism. Congratuations to #MattyDickPics to be Jim Jordan's useful idiot.

Republicans are sharpening their attacks on CISA for its role in tracking & responding to mis/disinformation. The Judiciary Committee's GOP staff just released this report characterizing CISA's work as unconstitutional censorship. "CISA must be reined in." https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/cisa-staff-report6-26-23.pdf

Elon Musk's mouthpiece does not need to 'prepare' for an 'interview' so people will think he 'knows' what he's 'talking about.'

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

*"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."*

Detailed takedown of Taibbi aka #MattyDickPics by @emptywheel

"As to the factual dispute, there is none. #MattyDickPics 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

Matt Taibbi Is Furious that Election Integrity Project Documented How Big Trump's Big Lie Was - emptywheel

Taibbi's false claims about the Election Integrity Project have little tie to actual mis- or disinformation flagged during the election. Rather, his false claims serve to discredit a systematic measure of how central Trump is to disinformation in the US.
