|content=@mtracey Absolutely! Do that. Because the single biggest story in the 🌍 right now is the meta story that journalism refuses to break. That is, we gave protected LEGAL status to a profession (journalism) that needs to be *revoked* if it will no longer follow its ethics in the Twitter era.

|content=@mtracey Oh no. That was what interested YOU. Your gambit. I’m not you. I want to talk about *exactly* what you are avoiding!

Let me catch you up. We the public don’t let you set the Gated Institutional Narrative anymore. We’re not your sheep &amp; don’t sit passively. We’re peers finally.

|content=@JomiFSC @mtracey I’m happy to address it with someone else somewhere else. This isn’t about deflection. This is about activists posing as journalists which is a major focus of mine. I refer to it frequently as narrative driven fake news:

|content=@mtracey @will_sublett @IlhanMN @AIPAC Well, first of all I respect you saying that. Really. No BS.

As I said on @benshapiro’s show, I prefer someone like Hunter S Thompson who admits to biases as part of the story or someone who tries for objectivity even if it’s impossible over any activist posing as a journalist.

Here’s how I am influenced. I come from a far left family pushing Jews to aspire to nearly impossible standards. I’m influenced by pogroms &amp; the holocaust.

|content=@mtracey @will_sublett @IlhanMN @AIPAC @benshapiro I also lived in Jerusalem for two years that shaped my understanding in a different way. Not all of it pro Israel. But much of it.

I also have a lot of moderate Muslim Friends who are close enough to talk about Muslim closeted anti-semitism with me within their families.

|content=@mtracey @will_sublett @IlhanMN @AIPAC @benshapiro Okay. I’m a progressive Jew who has lived in Israel from a family touched by pogroms &amp; the holocaust. I have some Palestinian sympathies. I‘m also exhausted by Palestinian gamesmanship. I‘m HIGHLY suspicious of BDS unless folks call for MANY boycotts *across* the region. Then no.

That was an accusation arguing  that your moral compass is fatigued by the double standards of others. Consider something more generous to someone who invested in de-escalating with you. Good night.]

In 2017, I spread a conspiracy story.

Q: Should I be deplatformed for alleging that the US has a proven ability to destroy lawful US citizens by planting fake news in mainstream media?

Resolved: American STEM immigration was deliberately structured by the @NSF &amp; @theNASciences via fake news to undermine the free market bargaining power of the US Scientist &amp; Engineer.
