Fake research groups justify new MSM attacks on "conspiracy theorists" – Gp 4: Columbia Univ. Tow Center for Digital Journalism

WaPo article "Hateful Conspiracies Thrive on YouTube despite pledge to clean up problematic videos" cited the following groups and individuals as "researchers":

* Data & Society (Joan Donovan)

* Network Contagion Research Institute

* AlgoTransparency (Guillaume Chaslot)

* Columbia Univ. Tow Center for Digital Journalism (Jonathan Albright) <<< SEE BELOW

COLUMBIA UNIV. TOW CENTER FOR DIGITAL JOURNALISM

• University veneer of professionalism conceals a far-Left department that portrays conservatives as distrustful of MSM ( = paranoid) and thus prone to conspiracy theories but seems totally unaware of their own desire for social control. But check out "Controlling the Conversation: The Ethics of Social Platforms and Content" (link below).

• Trump coverage reveals their bias: They think Trump is a complete loser; easy to find articles like "The Cruel Image of Border Protection," and "Avoiding Questions about Trump's Mental Health is a Betrayal of Public Trust." But other articles reveal that they want what we have ("Creating a Fox News for the Left") and their confusion over we don't like or trust them ("How Did Republicans Learn to Hate the News Media?").

• Jonathan Albright is their Research Director, despite the fact that it looks like he has just a Masters from Oregon State U. and a Ph.C. from the U. of Auckland.(Some sources list a Ph.D., but wo/a field; suspicious). He's a pioneering figure in MSM efforts to "expose fake news," by discovering how non-MSM social media sites interact to create support for non-MSM political causes (while a Google contractor). He calls the "fake news" network he found the "Micro-Propaganda Machine (#MPM) and explains that "far right propagandists were sharing links to the mainstream media only to refute and distort their reporting." https://www.wired.com/story/shadow-politics-meet-the-digital-sleuth-exposing-fake-news/

Seems too easy, doesn't it?

Here's an article from April 2018.

>>4332289

Yes–but the anon who "created" it also created a blank. People have used it. Especially me.

>>4332306

Godspell, Baker

It's late, stop fighting. Stupid arguments about stuff that doesn't matter. Calm down, go on a digg, make a meme, something–not this.

>>4332339

Thanks for checking in, BO. Thanks for everything.

>>4332378

yup, I heard that. Sweet.

Re:

>>4332273 clinton indictment?

The original article looks flaky/unsauced; others are dated (latest) April, most dated Jan 2018.

Maybe other anons will find moar…..

>>4332427

I don't have any insights on why "NoName," but do think it's a clue, since all the others–some very bad actors among them–still have names. To reserve that distinction for someone is significant. I suspect we will ultimately find out why–the way we finally found out about Saville and Heath. Meanwhile, good for late night reflections; I can only digg for so long.

Wait a week–might happen then. Clinton indictment would be BEST Christmas present!!

>>4332525

Saturday Night at the Movies.

>>4332561

Shills are awake and none of 'em got a Sat night date!

>>4332563

pretty good for drunk

>>4332564

You're onto something, anon–it's like the practice of banishing. When you do not name something–and ignore it–it begins to fade away from lack of attention.

>>4332625

It does sorta look like Tom Fitton….dresses don't suit him….

>>4332654

That's a memorable picture of POTUS. Just look at his face.

>>4332683

Nice, very close….but I'm not sure anybody can do Tucker Carlson face like Tucker Carlson.

Makes you wonder if he practiced with a mirror.

>>4332698

Mostly, yes.

>>4332684

Did digg, found possible flooding in DC, some volcanic activity in sumatra or closeby, old political news, NO shooters in bars, NO Republicans harassed, anons chatting amicably, shills posting shit about JFK jr….in other words, Eye of the Storm. Peaceful. Must go, too many hours here, wanted to let you know we listen, maybe others will find sometimes. Thx Baker, goodnight. Here are delicious green beans with parmesan bread crumbs.
