Drew Holden mega-thread drops self-awareness hammer on CNN journo's warnings about sharing disinformation

Last night, CNN’s Jim Sciutto served up a warning to everybody about sharing “disinformation”:

Don’t share disinformation even for hot takes. It doesn’t help. Disinformation dies without oxygen. Let’s move on from the crazy.

— Jim Sciutto (@jimsciutto) November 14, 2020

That tweet was ripe for one of Drew Holden’s famous threads, which started this way:

?Thread?

It appears that @jimsciutto is worried about sharing disinformation in order to score retweets.

Well, I think Jim should take that up with…Jim Sciutto, over the last four years.

The CNN national security correspondent, fresh off promoting his book while explaining how senior defense officials fooled President Trump into leaving troops on the ground in Syria, was about to get quite the laundry list of reality checks, starting here:

There’s no better place to start than with Russia. And man, was @jimsciutto in on the Russian collusion narrative. pic.twitter.com/DnWVuPX30b

And the list goes on. It’s a Fake News-a-Palooza!

But you see, for Jim, it wasn’t just collusion in general. He was fine sharing disinformation about nearly every facet of the narrative.

That includes the Steele dossier, of course. pic.twitter.com/5UAzWfO98z

And @jimsciutto was all in on Steele, and even Bruce Ohr. That take hasn’t…quite held up perfectly. pic.twitter.com/EPcNu7WjQo

Listen, I’m sympathetic to the idea that we should wait before spreading something that could be disinformation.

But it’s very, very rich to have the Russian collusion crowd like @jimsciutto, who have pushed lies as truth, over and over again, lecture about caution.

The media self-unawareness, hypocrisy and projection are off the charts.

Drew calling out the hypocrisy in grand style. As always, Drew brings receipts!! https://t.co/pSU2mpEH2L

This is a great @DrewHolden360 thread on the misreporting by @CNN's @jimsciutto. Maybe @CNN's media critic should do a story on how this reporter got so many things wrong:https://t.co/oHppvKo6mB
