Ten Minutes to Orwell, and The Media Is Colluding to Bring Orwell's Vision to Reality

So Ben Weingarten tweeted out this:

No politician in America has arguably maintained a deeper, more longstanding and friendlier relationship w/ China, at the highest levels of its ruling Communist Party, than Sen Feinstein. Why’s the media ignoring this in context of her Chinese spy staffer? https://t.co/Jx7cb7LCRr
— Benjamin Weingarten (@bhweingarten) August 8, 2018

Mark Hemingway, I believe, retweeted this.

Then someone reported him for claimed Wrongthink content...

WTH. It looks like someone is trying to protect Feinstein from criticism. pic.twitter.com/vn7g33nFkw
— Mark Hemingway (@Heminator) August 9, 2018

Then this happened...

So Twitter received a complaint regarding my tweet about my story on Sen Feinstein's (and her husband's) longtime #China ties, pro-China positions (economically, militarily, rhetorically) and profits from investing in China. Who's afraid of the truth? https://t.co/Lx5lavBpdz pic.twitter.com/Dr7J549K51

It’s a campaign. Happened to me as well. https://t.co/h4lPC2V9ZE

Something to think about:

The reason you never stop hearing about post-communist Russian espionage but rarely hear about still-communist Chinese espionage is that the Chinese espionage is successful. https://t.co/Bmogb0f0Qc

Mark Hemingway and Ben Weingartner are both journalists. Will CNN be denouncing these efforts to intimidate/silence journalists merely tweeting out stories, or will they, as usual, tacitly support the thuggish tactics of their blackshirt allies and/or possible overseas Chinese efforts at undermining democracy?

Ah, the hell with FakeNews CNN: Are any of Mark Hemingway's "colleagues" at the Weekly Standard going to address this?

I don't think he can expect any help from his "colleague" JV Last, who's actively cheering on Big Tech in purging more of his competitors so that he can have his influence back:

1) I'm not even trolling when I say that we need more banning. In every online community where mods enforce reasonable standards of discourse, the community is better for it. https://t.co/abbUPAf9f3

What these⛴️also love is silencing opponents.
How do I know?
They say so. https://t.co/KURu1B53Sw

The insulting thing is that these Zima-loving Fredocon sissies think you are stupid enough to keep buying their fake critique of the social justice warrior left when, in reality, they fully accept it in exchange for keeping their mediocre place within the DC establishment.🛳🌽 pic.twitter.com/XwUTI5TAds

What you're really saying is you want the Internet to be safe for sissies like you.
Not safe safe, but rather, a place where there's no competition for your neutered, submissive brand of pseudo-conservatism.
You people are just pathetic.🛳 https://t.co/vyoNNCKMcV
— Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) August 9, 2018

I like freedom.
You like your shitty job and the shitty position you have in that shitty city.
That's how we differ.
Oh and I'm embarrassed for you.
I guess that's another difference.🛳 https://t.co/3tvIJTQMic
— Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) August 9, 2018

They won't criticize NYT's double standards, b/c they want to be published there. They won't criticize CNN/MSNBC, because they desperately want to be on those shows. They won't slam WaPo, b/c they want their own columns. The whole thing is a racket, and you're the mark.
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) August 9, 2018

Don't worry, they'll be unemployed soon and giving handjobs to The Atlantic editors at $15 a pop.

Because the content the Weekly Standard can't get people to read for free is now locked behind a paywall:

Looks like there are a lot of empty cabins on those cruises. 🛳🛳

Sorry for all the tweets. I just can't stop laughing at the cruise ship icon.
