This kind of synergy - looking at the same kind of corruption involving different parties and "sides" - is exactly what I was hoping for when we brought in @emilyakopp as editor.

According to multiple sources it falsely accuses Racket journalist Paul Holden two Sunday Times writers and other media figures of being the beneficiaries of a Russian hack. This report was then passed to the GCSC a wing of GCHQ the British analog to the NSA. Scandalous stuff and couldnt come at a worse time for Starmer. @mtaibbi"

"Its not about achieving an equal distribution between left and right. Its about allowing reporters to cover individual stories accurately. Sometimes a politician whose policies you may not like is falsely accused of something. The point is to make it possible to say that. @JourtegrityLost @mtaibbi False equivalence. The Free Press is a marketplace. Some outlets hold the Right to account but give the Left a free pass (NPR). Others hold the Left to account but ignore the sins of the Right (Fox). But nobody can argue that the distribution is equal. https://t.co/WCyKPRlMVt @JourtegrityLost"
