Hidden X. No one ever sees my posts. No one engages. I became nonparty after too many failures of the Republicans and the Democrat stupidity.

@ChristopherHale Say you are a communist without saying you are.

You live in a world that will not suffer from his election.

[Old Cynic @SorryImDeadTru]

@NYCMayor The amount of economic ignorance you display daily is beyond impressive. Glad the people that voted you in to office get to suffer for their stupidity.

[Old Cynic @SorryImDeadTru]

@WheelerMan Yep.

[Old Cynic @SorryImDeadTru]

@GavinNewsom Yep. We know too much power in government and people like you. EXACTLY what the Demoncrats want.

[Old Cynic @SorryImDeadTru]

@ClownWorld Of course. Why else elect them?? Same as the drug companies that sponsor them.

@wil_da_beast630 Communism breaks down to : people that produce provide to those who won’t. Creates a world where additional effort is punished.

@johnennis Not true. n8n has a huge installed base and has created a huge amount of additional uses. AI user for 7-8 years when I need specific actions from specific inputs automation is what I use. New AI comes out I get improved info in the automation but the workflow is solid.

Wish I could agree but this is a case of distortion of facts. X links
• Viki Male’s original thread explaining the maths error (July 2021): https://t.co/jaUZv1C7rh
• A later post by the same account noting the claim was circulating again and remaining untrue: https://t.co/Zk0cjWnIdV
• Biostatistician Jeffrey Morris (@jsm2334) explaining the same invalid calculation in more recent posts (the short follow-up window makes an 82% figure among early-vaccination completed pregnancies expected and uninformative).
Subsequent large observational studies, meta-analyses, and surveillance data have not supported elevated fetal-loss risk from the vaccines; rates track expected background rates. The original high percentage remains a selective, time-window artifact rather than evidence of harm.

[Viki Male @VikiLovesFACS]

This @NEJM paper on the safety of #COVID19 #vaccines during #pregnancy found no increased risk of miscarriage associated with vaccination.

So why is this person claiming that there was an 83% rate of miscarriage?

Short answer, a maths mistake... 🧵

@AbdulElSayed Banner day for ignorant DSA people. I’ll bet 10x my salary that within a month of this communist taking office taxes for those making less than 250k a year go up.

[Old Cynic @SorryImDeadTru]

@AbdulElSayed @grok what is his PHD in?

[Old Cynic @SorryImDeadTru]

@RealJamesWoods 😂😂 ‘mincing asshole’ 😂😂
Hey @grok can create an image for that?

[Old Cynic @SorryImDeadTru]

@Cernovich They target low follower accounts like mine. A LOT. I get 10-12 followers like that a week

[Old Cynic @SorryImDeadTru]

@JoshuaClaybourn But will they hallucinate as effectively as AI.

[Enezator @Enezator]

hahahhahaah Well, this is the first time I’ve seen someone who literally owes a flying bird money. 🤣

[Old Cynic @SorryImDeadTru]

The easiest counter to anything said by someone on the left or a Democrat is - you voted for Biden and Kamala. At that point they have lost all credibility and intellectual supposed superiority.

If they even try and counter with no I didn’t, ask them who was the third person on the ballet. In both elections.

[Old Cynic @SorryImDeadTru]

@frankkolnacki So there is an evolution. If you are working it as a job yep troll them. If you are like expecting 100% of my posts will never be seen, no reason to duel.

[Old Cynic @SorryImDeadTru]

@elonmusk @tunguz Actually, yes but money so trillionaire will be meaningless. Important information that you need to add for context.

Updated and filtered list: Only retractions, corrections, or major debunkings of stories originally about Republicans (Trump, his allies/campaign, administration figures, or events involving conservative/Republican-aligned individuals like the Covington students).
I have removed examples centered on Democrats (such as the Hunter Biden laptop story and its “Russian disinformation” framing). I also excluded the “mostly peaceful protests” framing during 2020 events, as those stories primarily concerned left-aligned protests rather than being directly about a Republican figure.
The two time groupings remain the same, focused on periods when Trump was running for president. As before, a truly exhaustive list of every minor correction is impossible—outlets issue many routinely. This covers prominent, documented cases involving the requested outlets (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, NYT, WaPo) where reporting on Republicans was retracted, corrected, amended, or later shown to involve significant distortion, omission of context, or reframing.
Grouping 1: 2015–2016 Presidential Campaign and Immediate Post-Election Period
Focus on early Russia-related and transition coverage involving the Trump campaign and allies.

CNN retracted story on Trump ally Anthony Scaramucci and a Russian investment fund (June 2017): The article claimed a Russian bank linked to Scaramucci (a Trump confidant) was under Senate investigation. It was pulled after it could not be substantiated. Three CNN journalists resigned, and the network apologized.
ABC’s Brian Ross suspended for inaccurate reporting on Michael Flynn and Russia contacts (December 2017): Ross falsely reported that Flynn had been directed by then-candidate Trump to contact Russian officials before the election. The error caused market drops; ABC corrected it and suspended Ross.
Multiple outlets (including NYT, WaPo, CNN) on Steele dossier and Trump campaign/Russia contacts: Early reporting treated unverified claims from the Clinton-funded Steele dossier as credible, including stories on Trump campaign ties to Russian intelligence. Later developments (Durham investigation) discredited key elements. The WaPo issued corrections and removed substantial portions of articles identifying a key dossier source (“Source D”), with editor’s notes added to numerous related pieces originally published in 2017 and 2019.
NYT and others on Trump campaign contacts with “senior Russian intelligence officials” (February 2017): Reports claimed such contacts; then-FBI Director James Comey later testified that key elements of the reporting “in the main… were not true.”
Widespread “17 intelligence agencies” claim on Russian election interference (2016–2017 coverage by NYT, CNN, etc.): Reporting often stated or strongly implied that 17 U.S. intelligence agencies concluded Russia acted to help Trump. The actual assessment involved a smaller group (primarily 3–4 agencies).

Grouping 2: 2017–2024 (Trump Presidency Through 2020 and 2024 Campaigns)
Includes coverage during and after the first term, focused on Republican figures and events.

Charlottesville “very fine people” reporting and reframing (August 2017 onward, prominently used in 2020 campaign): Outlets (CNN, NYT, WaPo, etc.) and Democratic figures repeatedly claimed or implied Trump called neo-Nazis and white supremacists “very fine people.” Full transcripts and video show Trump explicitly condemned neo-Nazis and white nationalists (“condemned totally”) and referred to non-extremist statue protesters on both sides. In 2024, even Snopes rated the core claim “False,” noting how the distortion spread widely. This is a clear, long-persisting example of context omission and reframing of a Republican president’s words.
Covington Catholic students coverage (January 2019): Initial reporting by NYT (“Boys in ‘Make America Great Again’ Hats Mob Native Elder”), WaPo, CNN, and others portrayed the Catholic high school students (wearing MAGA hats at a political event) as aggressively harassing Native American elder Nathan Phillips in a racist incident. Full videos from multiple angles showed the students were largely stationary and not the aggressors; some were targeted. The Covington diocese apologized for its premature condemnation under pressure and incomplete information; a third-party investigation exonerated the students.
WaPo, NYT, and NBC corrections on Rudy Giuliani and alleged FBI Russian disinformation warning (May 2021): All three reported that the FBI had warned Giuliani (Trump’s personal attorney) he was the target of a Russian disinformation operation related to Ukraine/Biden material. They later corrected or retracted the claim—Giuliani did not receive such a formal defensive briefing.
ABC News/George Stephanopoulos defamation settlement involving Trump (2024): Stephanopoulos repeatedly and inaccurately stated on air that Trump had been found civilly liable for “rape” in the E. Jean Carroll case (the actual verdict was for sexual abuse, not rape under New York law). ABC settled the lawsuit for $15 million to Trump’s presidential library plus $1 million in legal fees and posted an editor’s note expressing regret.
“Inject bleach” / disinfectant distortion of Trump’s comments (April 2020, repeatedly cited through 2020 and 2024 campaigns): Media and Democrats claimed Trump told Americans to “inject bleach” or disinfectants to treat or prevent COVID-19. Trump did not say this. In a briefing, he speculated (in confusing terms) about whether medical experts should study using disinfectants or UV light inside the body in a controlled medical context, based on a task force discussion of surface cleaners. He and officials immediately clarified it was not advice for the public to inject anything. Snopes and PolitiFact rated the “told people to inject bleach” claim false or mostly false. This is a prominent example of reframing a Republican president’s words.
WaPo correction on Trump’s Georgia elections call (January–March 2021): WaPo reported that Trump pressured a Georgia elections investigator to “find the fraud” and called her a “national hero” if she succeeded (implying possible obstruction). After audio recording emerged, WaPo corrected the story: Trump did not use those specific quotes; he urged scrutiny of ballots and stated she had “the most important job in the country right now.”

These are the clearest, high-profile cases from the requested outlets that fit the filter (stories originally about Republicans or Republican-aligned figures/events, involving retractions, formal corrections, settlements, or major later debunkings of distortion/context issues). Many other smaller corrections exist across these outlets on various Trump-era topics, often involving minor factual tweaks or sourcing clarifications.
Sources for verification include the outlets’ own published corrections, full event transcripts/videos, the Durham report, court documents from the ABC settlement, and cross-spectrum fact-checking. If you would like me to expand on any specific example, add more minor ones that still qualify, or adjust the groupings further, let me know.
