‘Very fake news’: The way CNN hack Oliver Darcy framed Twitter’s punishment of Team Mitch ‘is why we don’t trust the media anymore’

Oliver Darcy has always been, and will always be a tool. Not a good quality tool, but a Harbor Freight tool.

As you know, earlier this week, Twitter locked @Team_Mitch’s account for the crime of posting video footage of thugs outside Mitch McConnell’s Kentucky home shouting obscenities and death threats at the GOP Senator.

Twitter has finally restored full access to @Team_Mitch, but it seems pretty safe to say that they didn’t come to see the error of their ways on their own. In addition to facing harsh criticism — rightfully — from Republicans and conservatives, various Republican groups also pulled ad buys.

Here’s how CNN senior media reporter Oliver Darcy covered it:

The Trump campaign, RNC, and NRSC have suspended ad buys on Twitter in protest over the platform locking the McConnell campaign's account for a tweet Twitter says violates its "violent threats policy" https://t.co/7YyofbYnNU

Oh? Is that the story?

Do you plan to share the details of the video, or who was making violent threats towards whom… or nah?

But by all means, Oliver. Make Team Mitch out to be the offenders here.

You’re missing the important information here… but whatever fits your narrative
