Saying Trump was a Rus. ASSet give him some credibility of intelligence. He would have to be smart to do what he did in an effort to further Russian plans.
He is a moron manipulated by Russian assets, to believe this narcissistic idiot that he is the rightful king of America
Trump is obviously not the brightest but so aren’t any other (former) soviet assets, when you take a look around. Just look at Babiš or most people close to Putin.
publishes, and then deletes
And thereby assuring that the story goes viral.
Streisand effect still going strong.
And avoids a lawsuit. Seems like a win all round.
That just makes it more likely that it’s true, in my opinion.
Hopefully Stryzen effwct Wi’ll kick in.
Yellow-belly journalism.
“Stryzen”
Is this the most bone-apple-teeth thing ever?
What’s a bone applet heath?
Idk I’ve only heard of it as Bahn-capful-wreath
lets, eh, be honest here.
Everybody knows he’s a russian stooge.
Sure, but the question is whether he was recruited or whether he just like what Putin does to him in private.
All the more reason to support the internet archive
It looks like the Wayback Machine archive of the original article is down now too, presumably at the request of The Daily Beast… :(
Nah, it’s just a bit slow at the moment. I just checked it again and it’s available:
There are different versions of the article up there!
Something tells me Daily Beast editors live in an appartment building and are afraid of sudden Russian death syndrome.
I’d say it was deleted after a threat of legal retaliation from the oval office, just like with the Maine governor.
Once upon a time that would’ve been a fight the news organization would’ve jumped at for the free publicity and easy win.
Which is weird, if they just said that person X said Y on Facebook then the person opening themself to being sued is person X, not the media reporting what they said…
Can’t imagine this staying up anywhere under US jurisdiction.
We’ve entered the era of broadcasting* licenses being brandished as weapons in direct opposition to free press 1st amendment rights. We’re gonna see a couple real ones come out of this and a whole lot of propaganda slop.
You don’t any kind of publishing license for a website in the USA. Or for anything, really.
What are you referring to?
Sorry, I guess that would be broadcasting, and DB doesn’t to my knowledge broadcast anything. I do wonder why they line up to play ball then.
