The White House defends social media collusion

The White House is caught red-handed in a scandal about its influence on, and collusion with, some of the biggest social media platforms. They have worked together with Twitter and others to shape public opinion, and what we think is influencing the outcome of the election. White House Press Secretary Karine Pierre responds to a question about being forced to hand over Big Tech collusion communications. They are so busted.

Federal Judge Terry Doughty on Tuesday gave the Biden administration three weeks to submit all emails sent to Big Tech by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and the administration’s House Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci.

The subject of this communication is reported to be to directly “coordinate” the way the state and private corporations treat what either of them deems to be disinformation and misinformation, regarding Covid – but also free speech in general.

When quizzed about the judge’s order during a press briefing on Wednesday, Jean-Pierre preferred pretended not to be aware of what exactly what was at stake when asked: “What are those emails going to show?”

Jean-Pierre avoided the topic and declined to comment on “ongoing litigation,” noting that she had been asked the same question the previous week – and directing the reporter to the Justice Department (DoJ).

But, even though not answering direct questions seemed to try and steer the direction of the conversation with evasive rhetoric.

“A couple of things that I would say, just as a general matter on this, as we said over and over again: since the beginning of the administration in our battle against Covid-19, it has been crucial for the American people to have access to factual, accurate, science-based information and ensuring that any media platforms have access to the latest information on a once-in-a-generation pandemic, is something that has been done since the earliest days of the pandemic beginning under the former president,” she said.

So, what is she talking about? Why would a social media platform need their “science-based information”? I guess so the platform will know who to censor…since what the information they’ve given is touched by God and all.

Her statement is intended to be two things: first paint the collaboration between the Biden administration as strictly a narrow matter of advancing the nation’s health during a pandemic by making sure “factual, accurate, science based” content made it through; and to imply that non-scientific inaccurate information floating around is the fault of the Trump Administration.

The response, however, does not make it at all clear if the press secretary is asserting that just “the battle against Covid” was what the two administrations share – or if President Trump’s White House also emailed Twitter and Facebook to directly flag posts they would like removed?

Asked if those “communications” were ongoing and how frequent they might be to this day, Jean-Pierre again tried to shift onto – or at least share the blame with the previous administration, by deflecting such as, “there has been ongoing work dating to the Trump administration to provide accurate Covid information where folks get their news.”

Yes – but has there been “ongoing” to regularly communicate with Silicon Valley’s social media giants? And is the Biden administration still doing it?

“Again, this is litigation that is ongoing and is currently happening, clearly that’s why it’s ongoing, and so I would defer to Department of Justice on that,” she said, closing the (vicious) circle of political spin.

In our humble opinion this is one of the most important stories of the last 10 years. Social media platforms are nothing more than a passive conduit meant to facilitate communication between interested parties. The role of Facebook and Twitter is not to intervene with conversations between you and friends. Their attempt at helping censor social media appears to be nothing more than election interference. And, noticing that employees at these social media companies are complicit does not make it OK. They agree and cooperate because they’re liberals themselves, hell-bent on seeing the demise of Republicans. I say this because I’ve worked with them for years.

Y’all need to be aware.
