Wow so Michael Prescott got upset that the BBC didn’t come down as hard on Kamala Harris as on Trump who LED AN INSURRECTION. Strange understanding of balance for someone who should know better.

Michael Prescott, who refused to answer all media questions until his DCMS appearance, spent 90 minutes in front of the committee – and wasn't asked *once* about his own report misquoting Donald Trump. What a farce.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.
His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.
Now he is tweeting in support of me.
This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

The breadth of China's reported cyber surveillance effort labeled Salt Typhoon is remarkable.
I'm surprised more accounts don't make the natural comparison with the Snowden revelations. A highly capable cyber-spying state with a portfolio of intrusions and targets.
