@elonmusk Sir, is this your comment to our story? https://t.co/sLsvtrcL6B

[Megan K. Stack @Megankstack]

@FusaGl @JewishWonk @redsteeze Is this the propaganda you’re talking about?

[Megan K. Stack @Megankstack]

@FusaGl @JewishWonk @redsteeze Yes. I noticed Drop Site was actually putting reporters into the field rather than doing the parasitic thing of commenting on other news organizations’ original reporting. I thought and still think that’s good. That observation has nothing to do with content of coverage

[Megan K. Stack @Megankstack]

@JewishWonk I’ve read Drop Site coverage but not comprehensively, and never saw anything I’d call propaganda. I would never come out publicly and accuse fellow reporters of being propagandists, much less for a country with which the US is at war, unless I damn well had receipts.

[Megan K. Stack @Megankstack]

@JewishWonk But “obvious,” “obviously,” everyone should just agree and nobody should ask questions or be expected to flesh out an accusation. I’m sure you’ll go far with all that intellectual curiosity 🙄

[Megan K. Stack @Megankstack]

@JewishWonk Sorry, this is ridiculous. It was a good faith request for clarification. I don’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of Drop Site and was curious what she’s seen to draw such an extreme conclusion. Very disappointing for a journalist to call another journalist an idiot for asking ?s.

#Rwanda

"A former Rwandan army sergeant major, who became an outspoken critic of President Paul Kagame, has been found beheaded in neighbouring Uganda. ... His death adds to concerns about the safety of Rwandan dissidents living in exile."

Disavow the Muslim Brotherhood.

“I think that a sort of discursive shift in how we talk about Palestinians’ right to defend themselves needs to happen.” @infinite_jaz

Yes & long overdue but still very far. Ask a 2SS proponent how they imagine Palestinian military, borders, airspace.

[Jeremy Konyndyk @JeremyKonyndyk]

The camp leaders also said: we can show you the graves.

And we drove with them through a dusty field on the outskirts of the camp to the site where they bury the dead.

Graves like these are the true measure of DOGE and the new US humanitarian model.

@LizHurra @isaacscher @DropSiteNews This is a serious allegation. Can you flesh it out/give some examples of pieces you thought were pro-Iran propaganda?

[Megan K. Stack @Megankstack]

@moetkacik There are so many things.

[Megan K. Stack @Megankstack]

Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood just doesn’t work coherently in U.S. discourse. There are too many layers, too much history, a lot of terrible & paralyzing aspects, also a sincere mass reaction to terrible repression & search for something better.

These exchanges are stupid.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Q: Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood?

El-Sayed: Yes. Why are you asking the question? Do you assume that I wouldn’t?

Q: Yes, because I have not heard you disavow them yet.

El-Sayed: Have you disavowed them? I have not heard you disavow them yet.

@oelayat This is the MB reporting that stuck with me. It wasn’t that simple.

[Megan K. Stack @Megankstack]

@oelayat I did indeed! Beautiful spot. Our office was in Zamalek too.

[Megan K. Stack @Megankstack]

@oelayat We overlapped! I was there 2003-7.

And from @GovMikeHuckabee ?

Levine is a US citizen.

So far, 🦗🦗🦗

To be clear: Some facts are neither in dispute nor unclear. Our photographer was clearly marked as Press. She was clearly beaten. These are not partisan or risible statements, but indisputable. We urge a thorough investigation and accountability.

[Megan K. Stack @Megankstack]

If these psychopaths kick and beat a journalist so viciously while being recorded, what do you think happens to ordinary Palestinians when there’s nobody filming?

@JeremySGordon That’s one way to ruin a UConn game!

They know Americans are not as cruel as our government — they won’t release the report on bombing schoolgirls or livestream an execution before midterms.

[Ben Bartenstein @BenBartenstein]

NEWS: Top Pentagon officials have expressed their intention to hold off on releasing an internal report into the attack on Shajarah Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, Iran until after the US midterms at the earliest. https://t.co/N8sxNWLOLk @business
