Daily Wire: The latest edition of the Twitter Files from investigative journalist Matt Taibbi revealed that media outlets, academics, and policymakers who cited an initiative meant to track supposed Russian disinformation fell for a not-so-elaborate scam (Daily Wire).
Fox News: Taibbi did a deep dive into their source, Hamilton 68, a so-called “dashboard” that purportedly monitored Russian bot activity. Taibbi wrote Hamilton 68 “was the source of hundreds if not thousands of mainstream print and TV news stories in the Trump years.” But behind the scenes, Twitter executives trashed Hamilton 68 and deliberated whether they should publicly rebuke ASD (Fox News).
Matt Taibbi: In layman’s terms, the Hamilton 68 barely had any Russians. In fact, apart from a few RT accounts, it’s mostly full of ordinary Americans, Canadians, and British (Twitter).
