Media Matters ran a shock exposé showing that Twitter ran ads against extremist content, leading to a flight of major advertisers. But Twitter was watching while they did this. What they did was create a new account and:
1. Follow every Nazi meme account they could found (which was not many).
2. Follow the major advertising brands they wanted to scare away from Twitter.
3. Sit there hitting refresh over and over until they got the screenshot they wanted.
Only problem with that is that Twitter logged everything they did and can show that the only account in the world that saw those ads on those tweets was Media Matters, because they spent an entire day setting things up to get that result.
Walt Shapiro at The New Republic argues The Real Reason Why Biden Shouldn’t Drop Out "A contested Democratic primary with less than a year before the 2024 election would be a mess." Not my problem. Capt. Ed argues "All of these are real problems, but Shapiro does get to the heart of the matter too: Kamala Harris and her inability to campaign effectively. It’s worth noting that the Left sees the same problems there as the Right does. Also, Shapiro clearly doesn’t see Gavin Newsom as a slam-dunk Plan B. At this stage, Shapiro makes a very compelling case that it’s simply too late to develop a Plan B … which means that Democrats will have to Weekend-At-Bernie’s Biden along until the national election."

The TN Star claims an Exclusive: Former TN GOP Candidate Stewart Parks, Sentenced to 8 Months on Jan. 6, 2021 Conviction, Claims Obama-Appointed Judge ‘Colluded’ with Prosecutors
“Video surveillance footage from inside the Capitol building shows PARKS and BAGGOTT entering the Capitol building at approximately 2:13 p.m. on January 6, 2021. PARKS and BAGGOTT move throughout the Capitol building for approximately a half hour, until approximately 2:46 p.m. when they exited the building. During that time, PARKS and BAGGOTT generally remain together, with PARKS carrying yellow Gadsden flag, often with PARKS holding onto BAGGOTT’s backpack …” the complaint states.
But Parks, like many others at the Capitol that day, said Capitol Police let him in. “I was unarmed. Surveillance video shows me peacefully standing there. The evidence that the government presented to hurt me, any normal people observing would say, ‘Stewart was innocent,’” Parks said.
‘Working with the Prosecutors’ Parks said Mehta, the judge, was apoplectic over his testimony on the stand during the trial. “He berated me, screamed at me, and stormed out of the courtroom during my testimony,” Parks said. “He didn’t want the truth to come out and tried to discredit me and my testimony.”
Mehta, has presided over several of the January 6 related “insurrection” trials, handing down stiff sentences (but not quite stiff enough for prosecutors) in the Oath Keepers convictions. He’s also the presiding judge in the internationally watched Google trial testing its omnipresent search engine’s dominance. Mehta’s office did not return a phone message Friday seeking comment.
