WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Twitter’s Political Ad Ban ‘Dorsey says that he wants to level the playing field. Perhaps he, with 4.2 million followers, should shadow-ban himself.’ – Bradley A. Smith
https://www.wsj.com/articles/notable-quotable-twitters-political-ad-ban-11572908984
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Why does being a highly visible CEO mean one has “earned” more political influence than Walmart, the AFL-CIO, or any other entity that seeks to promote its political ideas? Dorsey spent his cash to start Twitter. They want to spend theirs to advertise on Twitter. How does this new policy “level the playing field?” . . .Twitter will ban not just candidate ads, but “issue ads,” because they “present a way to circumvent.” Does this mean that an ad promoting a documentary warning about (or dismissive of) climate change should be banned? How about an ad promoting a magazine profile of a candidate? Does a Gillette commercial lecturing men on the dangers of “toxic masculinity” qualify as an issue ad?)

NEWSWEEK
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Ever-increasingly, Trump-haters blame Trump for hate crimes. 
https://www.newsweek.com/us-citizen-attacked-battery-acid-invading-america-1469696
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett conveyed his disgust at the attack, in part blaming President Donald Trump for inciting hatred against minorities with his consistent speeches and tweets spreading anti-immigrant zeal among his supporters. “To single out someone because they’re from a Hispanic origin is simply wrong. And we know what’s happening,” Barrett said at a brief City Hall news conference. “Everybody knows what’s happening. It’s because the president is talking about it on a daily basis that people feel they have license to go after Hispanic people. And it’s wrong,” he said.)
