![]() ![]() Still, a caution: “Don’t necessarily trust your in-network amplifiers. Twitter ListsĪ few people have compiled Twitter lists of folks to follow. We’ve pulled together a few resources to help you receive reliable information on what is happening. The Kyiv Independent, a three-month-old English-language Ukrainian news site launched by former Kyiv Post journalists after that outlet temporarily shuttered - the Kyiv Post has since relaunched - is using the lightning bolt emoji to help readers quickly differentiate its breaking news tweets from other tweets: It’s a lot, and in these moments I think we have trouble sifting through that volume of information.” I’ve got a mix of expertise and hot takes from sudden experts and people posting with the Ukrainian flag. “It’s not that the news coverage isn’t there, it’s that the ability to find it is harder. In moments like this, “Twitter’s strength as an amplification and recommendation platform goes away,” said Jeremy Littau, associate professor of journalism and communication at Lehigh University. On Wednesday, many Twitter users posting video from Ukraine - including large accounts like - found their accounts suspended or locked, a move Twitter says was an error. ![]() Opinions outweigh people reporting from the ground. Turning to Twitter may be the automatic reaction, but it’s not necessarily that helpful: The non-chronological-by-default timeline means news is presented out of order ( here’s how you can fix that, if you’d like). Here he seems to be saying that he personally kept the oil.Following the news of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is difficult, especially if you’re not already extremely knowledgeable about the situation. Trump has frequently claimed that the United States seized oil from Syria, which would be a war crime if it were true, which it fortunately is not. “I just pulled out of Syria except I kept the oil,” he said. “That was a total phony deal, that was a phony - call it ‘deep state,’ call it ‘anti-Trump people,’” he ranted, having apparently forgotten having said just a few minutes before that he doesn’t use the phrase deep state.Īlso, Trump made some time to confess to some light war crimes. ![]() “The guy yesterday on the telephone … I can’t hear guys making calls,” he shouted. Trump proceeded to deny yesterday’s testimony by David Holmes that he heard Trump speak to Gordon Sondland in a restaurant in Kiev this summer, because Trump was shouting so loud Sondland had to hold the phone away from his ear. Trump has in fact used the phrase some two dozen times on Twitter alone, along with innumerable mentions in speeches and other public remarks. “A lot of people say ‘deep state.’ I don’t like to use the word deep state,” he said. Along these lines, Trump proclaimed that deep state is a phrase he avoids. One day they must deny Trump ever said a thing, and the next day Trump will say that thing. Trump seems to enjoy confusing his supporters by constantly shifting the party line. An obviously concerned Steve Doocy, apparently aware that Trump was blowing up the defense Republicans had laid out the day before, asked, “Are you sure they have it?” Trump seemed sure. And Robert Mueller proved that Russian hackers carried out the email hack. Trump called CrowdStrike “a company owned by a very wealthy Ukrainian … why did they give it to a Ukrainian company?” None of this is true. mmSjgKTQJq- Josh Marshall November 22, 2019 Here's President Trump again pushing this claim, supported by Republicans: that Russia is innocent, didn't interfere in the 2016 election. Remember, "Crowdstrike" is the conspiracy theory that Ukraine and the DNC framed Russia. It fixates on the role of CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity firm that helped the FBI solve the crime. The theory posits that Ukrainians hacked Democratic emails, framed Russia, and kept the server they hacked to hide their crime. As the friendly hosts looked on apprehensively, Trump began unspooling a wild theory he has mentioned before, and invoked on his phone call to Ukrainian president Zelensky. This morning, Trump gave an interview to Fox & Friends repeating the very theory Republicans so angrily denied he has ever promoted. ![]() Byron York called it a “willfully misleading statement.” Devin Nunes angrily replied, and the Trump War Room quickly posted a clip of his response on YouTube, headlined, “Devin Nunes Destroys Fiona Hill’s False Claim About Republicans Denying Russian Meddling.” Republicans indignantly denied the charge. Yesterday, Fiona Hill testified that President Trump and his allies have circulated “a fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the Russian security services themselves,” absolving Vladimir Putin of interference in the election by claiming Ukrainians, not Russian hackers, actually stole Democratic emails in 2016.
