Man, you lost. Both my first link and my second link to Abrams' writing is, yes, *to the Internet Archive initial version of her op-ed.* Everyone can try it themselves!

I'm going to stop engaging with this gentleman now. I just wanted you to know that he is not being honest about my work. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

This is a straight lie. I didn't "miss her stealth edits." I explicitly noted in my piece that Abrams' op-ed was revised after initial publication -- and, for fairness to Tom Cotton, I based my piece on her initial words, not her revised words. https://t.co/H5xiOqtcp9 — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Here is how the New York Post (left) and Forbes (right) covered the *initial* Abrams op-ed. It was clear to good-faith readers that the op-ed was against an immediate boycott, even before Abrams softened some of her language in the revised version for the print paper days later. https://t.co/YP17PqRMpb — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

In other words: My fact check, (https://t.co/e23kSnefv4) was always on the initial Abrams op-ed, not the revised version that ran later in print. And that initial op-ed -- in a section Whitlock omitted from this tweet -- also made clear she opposed an immediate Georgia boycott. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

This Whitlock tweet is really deceptive. 1) I noted the edits in my fact check. 2) He left out a critical chunk of the initial Abrams op-ed, the part where she said she doesn't want an immediate GA boycott. Blue: what he included. Red: what he omitted. https://t.co/I2G0pu5x3J https://t.co/sH0NU6nsS6 — PolitiTweet.org

The initial false Post story, the one tied to the inaccurate Saturday cover, remains offline. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

This NYPost story about the Psaki exchange is now back up with this added: "Editor’s note: The original version of this article said migrant kids were getting Harris’ book in a welcome kit, but has been updated to note that only one known copy of the book was donated to a child." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

A Long Beach spokesman tells me *no* books are put in migrant children's welcome packages at the shelter. Rather, an informal library will be set up with the donated books to let kids choose what they want to read. So...wrongness on top of wrongness. https://t.co/5439nFkhha — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

The New York Post print cover was considerably worse - it said, based on nothing at all, that copies of Harris’s book were being given out “illegally.” — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

The New York Post appears to have taken down a second nonsense story about the Harris book, the one headlined "Psaki has no answers when asked about Harris' book being given to child migrants." That link also now redirects to their home page. https://t.co/1UxUQLIJzo — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

The New York Post link was shared by a whole bunch of prominent Republicans. (And that's not even counting how other right-wing outlets copied the story.) Now -- after a Washington Post fact check -- the New York Post story is no longer there. I'm inquiring. https://t.co/OkkRXzAOSL — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

The link to the nonsense New York Post story about the Harris book is no longer working; it now just redirects to their home page. (Again, this was their cover story -- that flatly asserted Harris's book was being given out "illegally.") https://t.co/6BfvJGlYiT — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

The City of Long Beach tells WaPo that a community member donated *a single copy* of VP Harris’s book to a shelter for migrant children during a book drive. The NYPost and Fox made it sound like every child there is being given Harris’s book by officials. https://t.co/eeLIOYwMbC — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s Biden’s public schedule for tomorrow. (Public schedules don’t include all of a president’s activities.) https://t.co/jnWUBmqhxY — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

A bunch of Fox opinion hosts also spread the red meat nonsense; we'll see if they too offer any kind of correction. But it was Roberts' show that ran the phony "BIDEN'S CLIMATE REQUIREMENTS" graphic that went viral on right-wing social media. https://t.co/CkVX6YYzBk — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Republican members of Congress, governors, Fox hosts and Don Jr. are denouncing a Biden red meat policy that does not actually exist. My look at how the nonsense machine turned an obscure academic paper into a fake Biden threat to your cookout freedom: https://t.co/Ur4CLoWz0U — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

There is no Biden plan to force Americans to eat less red meat. The policy Fox discussed on at least five shows on Friday and Saturday, and that Republican governors and members of Congress have denounced, is completely imaginary. A fact check: https://t.co/Ur4CLoWz0U — PolitiTweet.org

Again, this is absolute nonsense based on nothing at all Biden did or said. But in certain circles, no explanation is needed even just 2.5 days after the lie was introduced into the right-wing ecosystem. (Or re-introduced, given that similar claims have been circulated before.) https://t.co/hN21weKcCT — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Martin Heller, one of the authors of the not-about-Biden study all of this nonsense is misusing, told me today, “I, admittedly, have no idea what Biden's plan has to say about our diets.” Here’s a link to the study. https://t.co/YFiIL5stkp Fact check article to come! — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

In children’s terms, the study found that if people reduce meat eating by a lot, emissions would fall a lot. Daily Mail was like...Biden wants to cut emissions by a lot. Therefore, he’ll force people to reduce meat eating by the same amount this random study looked at. ??? https://t.co/XjOjhGoOLz — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

The UMichigan study is not about the Biden plan at all. It looks at what would happen to emissions if US people hypothetically cut their meat consumption by various %. Daily Mail took the biggest hypothetical % reduction studied and falsely made it sound like Biden demands this. — PolitiTweet.org
