The doublespeak reason they used is the worst part of it. They picked a single NPC account saying the election was on November 7th and used that as their only public reason for banning 1500+ accounts from an organic, grassroots meme. They went as far as autobanning all accounts with variants of 'npc' in their names as soon as they're created and putting a filter in that banned new accounts with gray portraits.

Its not like they said "these accounts are trolls and therefore against our rules and banned". Because twitters rule's don't actually forbid parody accounts;
>You may not impersonate individuals, groups, or organizations in a manner that is intended to or does mislead, confuse, or deceive others. While you may maintain parody, fan, commentary, or newsfeed accounts, you may not do so if the intent of the account is to engage in spamming or abusive behavior. Read more about our impersonation policy.


The simple fact is, someone in twitter's leadership felt threatened by a conservative meme and banned it. Then they lied about why they banned it.

twitter’s leadership knows a certain voting bloc is incapable of independent thought or double-checking what day is election day so they just try to ban a meme as a quick-fix :lol:

I like Breitbart. They have a good tendency to include the raw sources and details that they spin their propaganda from because they know nobody believes them without proof.
No 'anonymous sources claim' or vaguely worded articles that only tangentially reference the evidence over there.

Just glancing over that breitbart article, they include enough details to look up the story;

  • Name of the guy
  • Link to his webpage
  • The guy's full quote making the accusation
  • names of the actual facebook pages


I know I'm going to be reading propaganda any time I click on CBS or NBC or Breitbart or Fox, but I get irritated when some of those love to leave so few scant identifying details of a story that I can't even google it.

i've seen a lot of anon "govt official" sourcing from brietbart, but you're right in that they have a VERY low level compared to how high their spin/propaganda level is. They're rather focus on catering to a specific audience than waste time trying to write a hit piece from a "neutral" place, like CBS and co are known to do.

I prefer brietbart and huffpost to any of the msm's.
