Today will be my final series of tweets on Access JOURNALISM and the deep rot that afflicts so much of the American political press. There is no democracy or freedom without a free press. I will give you a glimpse of the rot by releasing a series of emails between @maggieNYT — PolitiTweet.org

RT @jeremyfaust: Some have said Lindsey Graham has changed since McCain died. But in reality, he has actually been consistent, as @SteveS… — PolitiTweet.org

The United States and Canada should announce expedited admissions and fast track visas, green cards, residence cards for Russian soldiers who defect to Ukraine with equipment and intelligence and are endorsed by the Ukrainian Government for this new program. — PolitiTweet.org

creating specific categories of crimes that can be labeled and prosecuted as Femicide. Similar to the use of Hate Crimes Statutes but with an emphasis on the unique aspects of male on female violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

3/ certainly not steeped in cultural behavior. I wonder if the United States should approach the issue of violence against women through a Femicide lens that creates prosecutorial discretion to both punish and deter a type of violence that is systemic all around the world by — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

2/ Violence against women is a very specific type of crime. It is almost always perpetrated by men, usually a family member. The violence is sometimes generational or even historically or religiously based. The numbers of men who will be attacked by women is relatively small and — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

The truth is a powerful sword 🗡 and integrity matters. Speaking of @EricGreitens and wife beating, I’m in Mexico and I learned about some new things today. Specifically the concept of Femicide. (I know my learning about it doesn’t make it new) — PolitiTweet.org

They are all at war with evil. — PolitiTweet.org

nationalities, like Mandela. He will be the savior and greatest hero of his people but also an inspiration for all of humanity. Courage, Integrity, Love, Devotion. Goodness. They are all at war with Putin and his criminal army. They are all at war with Putin’s propaganda. — PolitiTweet.org

escalate. We are watching a slow motion modern Lidice. It is a crime. It is barbarism. It is murder. Ukrainian suffering is the evidence of Putin’s evil. Surrounded by yes men and insulated by lies, Putin will be buried by Ukraine. Zelensky will be a name that transcends — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Putin has made a great blunder. He has made a profound strategic error. Putin believed Ukrainians wanted Putin and Russia. Putin is trying to take something that doesn’t belong to him. Ukrainians want Ukraine more than Putin does. That is why he will lose. His atrocities will — PolitiTweet.org

There is a word for people who work in that business. Journalist isn’t it. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

It is staggeringly unethical. The only type of scenario that immediately comes to mind is a lawyer betraying a client by suddenly switching sides in a dispute and smearing his client with defamations or a priest betraying their penitent — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

type of abuse that was directed at @ProjectLincoln founders or anyone else through corrupt stenography of Opposition research files that are passed and spread as news. The partnership between reporters and government officials in the smear business is staggeringly unholy. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

why so much trust has collapsed in American journalism. The hot center of this type of culture is the American Political Press. Lastly, no CITIZEN or PERSON who stands up to ELECTED OFFICIALS who hold LAWFUL POWER with LIFE and DEATH AUTHORITY should EVER be targeted for the — PolitiTweet.org

and shunned from the grace of Trump. It’s a forty year old trick that makes Borscht Belt Schtick look improvisational. None of that is particularly scandalous. What is grotesque is the reporters who print the smears and lies while being fully conscious of the tactic. This is — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Trump certainly had a motive to make it appear that any opposition to him wasn’t based on principles but rather grievances. It was a great tactic for Trump. The women he raped were crazies and any one who stood up was called a loser and accused of being a grifter who was spurned — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

6/ I didn’t use @ProjectLincoln funds to purchase a home. That was a lie and I respectfully request my first correction @sppeoples @JuliePace from a story that was demonstrably errant on this matter and doesn’t stand up. Thank you. I didn’t interview for a job with Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

5/him. I have laid out a case study on Access Journalism because it always leads to the targeting of dissenters with abuse and harassment because it corrupts the pursuit of truth with an alliance of transactional convenience between the politically powerful and journalists. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

4/ Here is @ebonybowden with Trump. She was rewarded for all the untrue hit pieces with ACCESS. Trump rules. Pay to play. I have no malice and no ill will for the people who lied and smeared me because I stood up to Trump and did everything I could conceivably do to help defeat https://t.co/F3K4qA4ltm — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

3/ Bubble wrapped in delusion. They are much more alike than different. Access=Clicks=promotion. @ebonybowden https://t.co/rB4zm7UWFk — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

2/ It is how business is done. Ebony Bowden claimed I didn’t vote in the 2016 and 2018 elections. Untrue. She claimed I interviewed to be Trump’s campaign manager. Ludicrously untrue. The @ap is considered mainstream and credible while the @nypost is not. This is a hypocrisy — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

.@ebonybowden was a @nypost reporter who smeared me and other LP founders with lies. She was rewarded for the attacks with a Trump interview. Today she works with Jason Miller at the failing social media gutter site, GETTR. @sppeoples @AP was likely trying to get that also. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

He was killed by lies. The lies powered the barbarism. The lies killed a man who survived Nazi death camps in a war where a man who is emulating Hitler is lying to his people and the world about fighting Nazis instead of killing the old people who miraculously survived them — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

RT @ChristopherJM: He survived the Holocaust. He was killed in Russia’s “denazification” operation. — PolitiTweet.org

One thing I was struck by before coming to North America’s largest city and best food scene was how many people asked me, “is it safe?” I don’t talk about much besides politics here but I’d like to make this point. Fear is everywhere in our society. A fearful society is an angry — PolitiTweet.org

I almost forgot. Enjoying the Benito Juarez holiday in one of the worlds greatest places, Mexico City. The disrespect shown Mexico by extremist GOP politicians in the United States is outrageous and self defeating. It’s good to look up from Twitter and the phone ☎️. Very good https://t.co/B2paYML1vN — PolitiTweet.org
