I was doing some reading on Joe McCarthy and noticed that his reign of demagoguery and disinformation lasted exactly 4 years, 4 months—from 1950 speech about communists at State to “have you no sense of decency?” It‘s been 4 years, 3 1/2 months since Trump’s announcement speech. — PolitiTweet.org

It seems like a crisis right now in American politics is disimformation and how press, voters and Congress deal with it. Worth remembering that this isn’t the first time that our politics has been seized with a political actor and his allies spreading falsehoods with a firehouse. — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone has a pet historical analogue to Trump but McCarthy holds up well. This is a 1982 review of a book on McCarthy & media: “levelled accusations of treason at people he knew nothing about,” “lied with such boldness that he distracted a nation and shot it full of distrust.” https://t.co/wDozbMmGZN — PolitiTweet.org
