CNN made a huge mistake with this format. They put together a pro-Trump audience that repeatedly applauded his lies and literally laughed when he further attacked a woman in which he was just found liable for sexually assaulting and defaming.

It's not surprising that Musk wants Tucker on Twitter. Musk, like Tucker, has been pushing right-wing conspiracy theories and misinformation mediamatters.org/elon-musk/twit…

And the whack-a-mole continues

A list of things Elon Musk has called "morally wrong" in the last year: — Working from home — Using the word "billionaire" as a pejorative — Banning Donald Trump from Twitter

This comes after a day of public squabbling about The Daily Wire releasing an anti-trans film on Twitter. Again, Twitter is trying to realign itself as a reactionary right-wing streaming service with a hyperactive comments section.

In addition to his own crazy posting on Truth Social, this week Trump reached a milestone: amplifying QAnon-supporting accounts more than 500 times (in just 13 months) mediamatters.org/qanon-conspira…

It says a lot about @Facebook moderation tools and processes that fake #Meta pages are managing to run ads driving users to spam websites

Here is the owner of Twitter replying to a paying user who's tweeting about "Rabbi bashing" and "hating the J[ews]."

"Major companies [appear] on Twitter next to previously banned accounts — including right-wing extremists, COVID-19 misinformers, anti-vaccine figures, & election deniers." More from Kayla Gogarty's latest must-read for Media Matters (with research from me!) below. mediamatters.org/twitter/linda-…

Twitter says that advertisers are returning. I'm sure you'll be shocked to learn what Kayla Gogarty found when she looked into it 🤣🎯 mediamatters.org/twitter/twitte…

Extreme anti-LGBTQ group Alliance Defending Freedom has been attempting to get a ruling like this for a long time. They finally had the justices that they needed to do it.

Rudolph Giuliani catching a RICO charge. What a world.

The exclusive streaming platform of the GOP primary debate is even worse than you thought. Within six months, 37% of videos on Rumble’s leaderboard came from channels regularly amplifying QAnon & other right-wing conspiracies, earning 200+ million total views. More from Media Matters:

Elon Musk's previous polls that he has used to supposedly inform platform decisions have been targeted by online far-right figures and message boards. mediamatters.org/elon-musk/elon…
