New York Times opinionista raves about those dastardly Russian masterminds; Kim Hill does not raise the slightest objection RNZ National, Saturday 17 October 2020, 8:10 a.m. This certainly sounded promising…. 8:10 The week in US politics: Nicholas Fandos …Facebook and Twitter have restricted access to a controversial New York Post story critical of Joe Biden, raising questions about how social media platforms should tackle misinformation. And President Trump is back up and dancing, but how are the final weeks of the campaign going for him? Nicholas Fandos, a reporter based in the Washington bureau for The New York Times, joins us to discuss. https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/saturday However, towards the end of the interview, Fandos repeated the key propaganda point of the most ridiculous misinformation campaign of the last four years. Kim Hill let him chunter on, without raising the slightest demur. I sent her the following email…. Nicholas Fandos lectures about conspiracy theories—then indulges in the "Russian" one Dear Kim, Nicholas Fandos spoke compellingly about the Republicans' suppression of the vote, and of Trump's racism, and his predilection for conspiracy theories—and then he suddenly started talking about "Russian manipulation." The Clinton campaign's absurd allegations about those sinister Russian masterminds is a conspiracy as weird and as free of evidence as anything cooked up by the sad souls at Q-Anon. Shame on you for failing to challenge him. Yours sincerely, Morrissey Breen (Northcote Point) ........... This message did not impress the administrator of New Zealand's leading "liberal" blog, who denounced my "lunatic ideas"....  https://thestandard.org.nz/open-mike-17-10-2020/#comment-1759988 |
