Clip debunking SMEAR of Joe Rogan? 2,000 retweets. Original deceptively edited clip? 20,000. See the problem?

This is a great example of why the right HAS to keep some toes in the water at that trash website Twitter. I mean, quit Google, Youtube, Facebook, whatever, that’s just fine. It’s good, actually. Rumble is better and Facebook is stupid.

And by all means we should join and support Gettr and Parler and the rest assuming they learn to make their stuff embeddable in blog posts. But the right HAS to keep a foot in the door at Twitter. The thing normal folks hear on the evening news and see in the paper and hear about at work? That’s where it starts. It starts on Twitter and eventually moves up to CNN. That’s how the campaign against Joe Rogan was put in the works in the first place.

This deceptively edited video went HUGE on Twitter. It’s a short trip from there to Jim Acosta, to the rest of the world. That’s how we got people saying “horse dewormer.” Take a look. Both below, the lie and the truth in that order, but watch in whatever order you want.

It’s a real problem and there ain’t an easy answer, but until there’s some better way to spread truth we should be glad there are still plenty of people left on Twitter who will like, retweet, or just READ facts over leftist fiction.

I don’t get there much myself, but I do check out stories highlighted on the service by sites like ours and others.
