Renee DiRestaThe Free Press published a truly insane article by Jacob Siegel, who “investigated” whether me requesting a correction on a book review that said my team censored 22 million tweets was actually…censorship.
You read that right: a man who smeared me in his book got to smear me again in The Free Press after I tried to get the first smear fixed. The article says I “didn’t deny” pressuring an outlet to remove his review. So I got on the phone w/an editor there to categorically deny it. No change.🤷🏻♀️
Julian ♪🌻🥥🌴♫I wrote my own Substack post about this bullshit because I had to endure nutjobs on Twitter insisting that not only had I censored the whole Internet in the 2020 election, and his review, but that it was my job to fix it. Yes. I should do PR for the liar.
I’ve got a much spicier story coming about Jacob Siegel’s book, but this is the story of a very strange day.

Corrections Are Censorship: Jacob Siegel’s Latest Fiction
Jacob Siegel misleads readers in his new book. When I asked for corrections, he cried censorship in The Free Press—writing as accuser, investigator, and fact-checker all in one. A lie-machine exposé.
