The ‘Russian bots’ that weren't: Twitter backtracks on troll claims, media ignores updated info
Twitter quietly revised its public database of ‘Russian bot’ accounts earlier this month, removing 228 accounts it previously said were “connected to Russia”— but the admission has gone almost completely unnoticed by the media.

Fast-forward to 2019 and Twitter has removed 228 of these accounts from the database, saying they had “initially misidentified” them as being linked to Russia, but nobody in the media seems to have noticed.
In fact, Bloomberg is the only major US outlet which bothered to correct the story to reflect reality, admitting that Twitter’s changes to the dataset “invalidate central portions” of its original report and that there was “no surge” in this so-called Russian bot activity at the time in question.

Yes Komrads, it was all VENEZUELA’S!!! fault.
Oh well, that old story of hers about 20+ agencies validating her BS is still making the rounds as well.

You know, Winston Smith had to actually go and find BOOKS
that needed "correcting". So much easier, now, to just be a Twit.

This is a repeat comment that I made in the media essay
and I think it fits in here too.
CNN reported this group's websites was paid for by a foreign country which got a couple websites banned from Facebook. You need to watch this video to see what happened. The media is complicit in censorship. George Orwell must be rolling in his grave.
Censorship was one of the first bad things that came from Russia Gate which then started the new McCarthyism. And people who are buying everything that they hear and read from the MSM are unaware of how Russia Gate is being used for many things. Propaganda. We keep getting it because it works.
When will people wake up to this?
The good news is that I saw a lot of people talking about how censorship is getting out of hand and that it's because of the Russian propaganda nonsense so people do seem to be waking up. Not enough yet, but it's a start. Now we need to find some deprogrammers to get the Rachel brainwashed people to wake up and see that she has been lying to them for over two years about Russia. So many people believe that Vlad has total control over Trump and they are blackmailing the GOP because they took money from the NRA. For two years we have watched as a massive psyops has been taking place and not many people have escaped its clutches.
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
