The Jimmy Dore Show
Some of the revelations to come out of the so-called “Twitter Files” are pretty shocking, especially in the way they describe an intimate partnership of censorship between government agencies and social media platforms. In the latest data dump, journalist Matt Taibbi discusses the remarkable discovery that following the 2016 election Democratic Senator Mark Warner had actively badgered Twitter representatives to drum up examples of Russian bots on the platform spreading pro-Trump propaganda.
Guest host Aaron Maté and Taibbi discuss the problems involved in a sitting U.S. Senator making demands that a social media platform generate evidence to support a baseless conspiracy theory promoted by a powerful political party.

Psycho Liars!
That must have cost millions of dollars. Everyone involved, including Clinton, must pay this back to the people!
I mean they aren't wrong about twitter and facebook being used with cyber warfare. But they fail to mention it is OUR (the US) military doing so
Why is that none of the "files" are being released? Is source material not important anymore?
Obama and Clinton assumption of disinformation controlling the outcome of the 2016 election assumes Democrats are easy to manipulate and incapable of critical thinking. They did get that right, look who they chose in the 2016 and 2020 Primaries.
😂 😂 😂
Or do you remember the meme about Masturbation?
"you can't hold Jesus hand" like this!
These memes somehow swing the election!
What a BS!
And it was obvious (if you don't watch MSMedia, and if you do some research for yourself)
Aaron you do a great job, but you come across a little bit monotone at times. Dont be afraid to raise your energy level and get animated. Some of this stuff is mind blowing and you don't look like your mind has been blown. Lol
Who cares if Russia was involved. Didn't the Clinton foundation and Biden's son receive money for Russians for the sale of Uranium and selling political favors? Doesn't every outside government have a stake in US politics as well as the global economy? Another fake wrestling match like Democrats and Republicans use to rally a simple-minded base with intentions of furthering their financial and political agenda.
The USA is run by mobsters.
Our democracy was destroyed when Thee City of Londons Banksters burnt Our Capital in 1812.
Killary Clinton is a lying POS. Totally psycho and a typical politician. Possibly the worst presidential candidate ever…
Small d speak for yourself nadler.
Influence is NOT Interference!
So basically Mark Warner was saying Twitter management does not understand how their own platform works and we know better how Twitter works. We don't have any evidence that their investigation was inadequate or that they did not tke it seriously but we know these things are true and the poof is that they did not find many Russian bot accounts. This explains why when Twitter started banning people like crazy many real people had their accounts terminated and when they appealed they were told their accounts were identified as bot accounts. Twitter was literally telling real people your banned for being a Russian bot even though you are clearly a real person.
Mark Warner literally used the I know it's true because we read it on Facebook line . We know there were Russian bot accounts on Twitter because Facebook told us they were.
Not gonna lie I really want one of those Mark Dice I am a Russian bot t shirts with one of the Futurama robots on it .
These senators are idiots or just crooks.
Obviously bull hockey.
Didnt John Brennan put in writing that he had a meeting with Obama and Hillary and they agreed to go with Hillary Clintons plan to completely make up a story to blame the Russians for her loss?
Wasnt most of the Russia story made up to cover up the fact that the Democrats murdered Seth Rich because he leaked the crooked corruption of the Democrats to Wikileaks?
Man, those Russians are wizards. They can sway elections at the drop of a hat
The "Russian mania" ginned up in 2016 and 2020 is likely connected to 2022 and today. This is statecraft. Find a boogeyman to deflect failure.
'We need more pot head comedians' is about all I have to say.
The "Russia gate" frenzy did not only "occupy America" for years. It was the "parallel regime" continuation, during Trump's tenure, of the 2014 Ukraine coup project of Obumma/Biden effected by the Dem Party the deep state and their media lackeys. It was immediately resumed directly by President Dirty Harry when he took office in 2021 and that now has us closer than ever before to nuclear war with Russia.
The left, right, liberal, conservative, old, young, ugly and beautiful all have to push for term limits. It's the only way.
Nadler is a good example of stupid.
Thx as always. Our govt is our greatest enemy. It needs to go. Both parties need to go. The alphabet agencies need to go. Americans need to wake-up.
We really need to talk more about how the corporate media just refuses to even acknowledge the twitter files
What these Twitter files verify is that Hillary Clinton and all the leaders in this country just think the American people are all just stupid deplorables.
"is that Chris Hayes pushing back?"
"Wow that's funny"
Indeed.
I never thought these so called democrats were as VILE as they really are,if i lived there i wouldnt give them the time of day let alone vote for the Vile creatures.
The Democrat party STILL hasn’t looked in the mirror.
It was all a lie and half the country has no idea.
When do we FINALLY ADMIT we are a nation of gullible fools????
The nad man!
The vocal fry is really annoying. Is he like a valley girl?
I dont think you need Russians to brainwash Americans , deep state doing that for decades, very successfully to.
So your saying the Russian s are smarter than all of you,keep it up America it is great entertainment for the rest of the world
It would be funny if the world as we know it ends in WW3 just because Hillary didn't want to believe she lost to a game show host.
Wait. Isn't it Radical, to Deny the Results of an Election? The Democrats are destroying our Democracy!
I think the real story here is how they’ve admitted they believe social media alone has the power to brainwash people, when up until recently with Twitter they had complete control over all platforms.
