To be clear: this process isn't passive. They're not just mindless receptacles for false propaganda. They choose who they regard as Experts, *and who they don't,* based on who aligns with their ideology. Their core function is to serve as spokespeople for establishment power. — PolitiTweet.org

This is exactly how most of them think: Our job is to go to those we regard as the Experts, the Elites, the Authorities, and then write down what they tell us to say: *without the slightest regard for whether it's true or not.* That's what produces destructive trash like this: https://t.co/x2FHHKxvQY — PolitiTweet.org

Here's the most notorious example of this corrupted journalistic practice in the last 5 years. It doesn't get enough attention. The Guardian added "sources say" only after the story was proven false. Their excuse now is: we won't retract it because sources *did* tell us this. https://t.co/hvthMgXHTB — PolitiTweet.org
