4. We've maintained an up-to-date accounting that tracks the 85 responses we've received from our original survey about future PAC giving plus statements from many other companies we never contacted https://t.co/r4Z4TjJUCe — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. IMPORTANT: Just because a company responds, it doesn't mean the response is particularly meaningful. Specifically, companies announcing they are "pausing" *all* political donations for an indefinite period of time are saying very little. https://t.co/NiOxH2pTM4 — PolitiTweet.org

We asked 144 companies if they planned to continue contributing to members of Congress objected to the Electoral College vote. We've now heard back from 85. Some major companies that have remained silent @Safeway @Oracle @Publix @Clorox @Enterprise https://t.co/r4Z4TjJUCe — PolitiTweet.org

A 2017 Facebook post from @BenShapiro's Daily Wire called @Politico "fake news" and cheered the outlet's exclusion from a White House press briefing https://t.co/DUAJ9PVgPy — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: In an internal email obtained by https://t.co/JhoV1QDaTS, @SPGlobal CEO Doug Patterson say its PAC has "suspended contribution indefinitely to all member of Congress who voted against certification of the election." https://t.co/r4Z4TjJUCe — PolitiTweet.org

8. The Daily Wire also has a long history of misogyny, bigotry, and misinformation. You can get more investigations like this by signing up for my newsletter, which will never be guest edited by Ben Shapiro. https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
7. The Daily Wire also runs a network of Facebook pages that purported to be independent but weren't These sites now disclose that Daily Wire owns them. But that was a disclosure that Facebook required after Popular Information exposed the scheme https://t.co/Rdhzbt4V4B — PolitiTweet.org

6. Ben Shapiro's website used this racist, manipulative content to boost its distribution on Facebook by paying Mad World News to post its links. It stopped after Popular Information's report. But it shows you what kind of site the Daily Wire is https://t.co/MQYlNDjJ0F — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
5. For example: For example, https://t.co/VrQYOj4XDk published a story on June 19, 2020, with the headline "Family Displays ‘Southern Pride’ Sign, Stranger Confronts Them With Gun." But that actually happened in 2015 https://t.co/sZigsHU6x1 https://t.co/Kms6xlP830 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. Shapiro's website leveraged this kind of racist, manipulative garbage to boost its own status on Facebook by paying Mad World News to post Daily Wire links. It ended after Popular Information's July report. But it shows what kind of operation it is https://t.co/MQYlNDjJ0F — PolitiTweet.org

4. Mad World News identifies incendiary stories — that are frequently years old — that prey on racism and fear. It rewrites the stories with no indication that the story is old. This generates a 'new' link that is able to thrive in Facebook's algorithm. https://t.co/sZigsHU6x1 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. In July, I reported how there was "an undisclosed financial relationship between The Daily Wire, the website founded by Ben Shapiro, and Mad World News, a notorious outlet that exploits fear and bigotry for profit." https://t.co/MQYlNDjJ0F — PolitiTweet.org

@benshapiro 2. @benshapiro guest-edited Politico Playbook today, which was a coup for him because he likes to posture himself as an "intellectual" who rejects conspiracy theories and misinformation. But that's not what happens behind the scenes. And I have receipts. https://t.co/X8AjQHjKBF — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
1. Here is some information you won't read about in Politico Playbook today. On Jan 5, @benshapiro turned over his "Daily Shapiro Action" email to Ted Cruz. Cruz used the opportunity to push his bogus allegations that the election was invalid. https://t.co/0jIklCDqsg — PolitiTweet.org

I do think, however, that with vigilance, it could be harder for these companies to resume their old ways than they think. Sign up for the newsletter for updates and accountability journalism. https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

@Accenture These kind of statements are largely meaningless without any specific commitments to reform. In 3 months or 6 months or 1 year, it could be back to business as usual. https://t.co/NiOxH2pTM4 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
UPDATE: https://t.co/JhoV1QDaTS has learned that, in a company-wide webcast, @Accenture CEO Jimmy Etheredge announced its PAC would be "pausing" all contributions. No other details were provided. — PolitiTweet.org

One thing I'm interested in is if executives attempt to make up for the lost PAC money through individual donations. — PolitiTweet.org

@CharlesSchwab Charles Schwab, the company's billionaire chairman, has "personally given millions to pro-Trump and Republican groups." He's making no commitments. — PolitiTweet.org
