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.

Democrats just have to face the truth that they suck also. Biden vs Trump wow what a great choice that we are offered.
Well why aren't any of you you tubers encouraging people to call there representative and demand that they do not vote McCarthy! We need the people to get behind Gaetz !!!!
How do these clowns sleep at night and look at their children without hanging themselves? Pathetic!!
YouTube fact checks brought to you by the CIA and FBI.
All these politicians need to go.
some of these idiots where on the intel committee
Very simply the swamp knew that Trump wanted to end their gravy train and so they invented Russian collusion.
This Proves it..
Stop calling them Leaders / Authorities they are simple Public Servants and they need to RELEARN their place in society.
MSM prive to be less trusted than politicians, lawyers and used car salesmen! I thought dog shit was bad but Democrats are like diarrhea from a snake!
This whole shit is exactly what US is doing in every election of any foreign nation mainly in ex soviet country, nation around middle east and in SE Asia, Korea, Japan. And they fear that same shit gonna happen in US election 🤣
Why is Matt supporting the super-establishment blob Yomiuri Giants??
Russiagate was not all of it either. The UK Brexit referendum needs further exploration andalthough Facebook is likely to be of more importance there, I hope that Taibbi has good material on this.
But the next priority has to be Epstein.
Keep up the good work guys.
We cant vote our way out of this you think you can your a chump We need 1776 again we need it now
I love that the Tuttle Twins is advertising on your channel Jimmy!
Funny that what Democrats did to twitter- pressuring them into manufacturing evidence- is exactly what Democrats claimed Trump did to Zelenskyy.
How does that lying slimeball Nadler still have a job?
Jerry Nadler should call Jimmy on the phone. Jimmy's been off-script.
this is amazingly sad. shameless. it's a full time job keeping up with the lies. thanks for the content
Why bother hearing from government officials?
Nothing they say has an ounce of truth to it…those that actually believe are more or less brain dead.
The Trillions of dollars none stop making War Machines it destroys people, infrastructures and steals all the resources and creates Refugees by the billions. Today’s world billions of people around the world are being eliminated by Rockefeller’s and Big Pharma Science Laboratories War Machine's. The United Nations was not, created for World Peace, it was created for World Domination. 💉☠️⏳
Typical democrat hyperbole bordering deceit to mislead the public…shameful when more pressing issues existed!!!
Democrats had everyone at each other's throat over this BS..Wait my bad they use race and other Social issues to create chaos along with their Media lap dogs.
For the non intellectuals
Dumb = Dumbacraps!
Gotta love government quotas.
Stalin-"find 10,000 dissidents or go to the Gulog"
Dumb-ocrat "find 10,000 Russian trolls, or get regulated"
Disambiguation: 💧“Sadly, we @Twitter were all born too late to have ever seen Mel Brooks, “The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming!””
Oh my god. This clown is a serious adult
Warner's rouge was poorly applied. Who's this man's stylist? Is it an ape?
You didn’t find what we told you to so we are mad.
No one voted for Trump because of Russia. They voted for Trump because they were tired of Democrats
These are ppl who depend on truth and speak truth to know how to govern ourselves. Which is how the country is suppose to be govern. The ppl who are democrat cant govern themselves and dont think they are suppose to.
All the major social networks are intelligence operations, and they were designed for their function; all of them, especially, perhaps, the dating apps, are engines of psychological profiles of virtually every individual in every nation in which the apps are used.
I don't wonder why I don't care about what the richest or one of the richest politicians has to say about anything.
