Backup of what? If you can't get the Tweet to show, I included the full text of the Tweet in the quote.

Trump citing the failing Washington Times. Can believe that Trump would cite such utter nonsense.President Ellipses Tweet said:
Worst recovery since Great Depression is an interesting way of saying inherited worst economy since the Great Depression.

President Trump's tweets are not for the general public, but for his base.

The President aims his lance at Google because Lou Dobbs said to.
Of course it is BS. The scale to judge the veracity of bias considers WashPo to be left leaning and InfoWars right-leaning. It didn't break out individual stories. Anyone with a brain will know if you look up news stories, there is a lot of repetition as the same sites are publishing a report by Reuters or WashPo or The Wall Street Journal. The breadth of the "study" was so acute, to render it... well to use the author of this "study"'s own words "not scientific".

If Mr. Von Clownstick wants to see good news when he is vainly googling himself, maybe he should try doing something that is GOOD for the country?
Just a thought...

The blue check next to the name indicates that it is verified to be the actual Dana Milbank of the Washington Post.

Reality has a left wing bias. I'm willing to bet the "investigation" into Google's bias will go the same way as the "investigation" into voter fraud.

And the investigation of the IRS targeting conservative groups, and the investigation that Facebook and Twitter censor conservatives, and the war on Christmas, etc. etc. etc..

There won't even be an investigation, because it doesn't matter. Google is a private company, and that means they can conduct their business with bias if they want to, so long as they don't illegally discriminate. Since political affiliation is not a protected class, I don't see how any political bias can rise to that level. Their motto used to be "Don't be evil", so naturally they will be biased against a malevolent wannabe dictator who has conned his way into the oval office.

But now his base hates Google, so the tweet has had the desired effect.

It is close to the point where his Twitter Feed will be the exclusive location for truth.
When do people at Twitter start asking "Why are we giving a platform to a fascist?" Not just giving him a platform, but that platform is specifically used by said fascist as his top communications tool to send out dog whistles and instructions to his zombie army. Will history look back and wonder if media companies were complicit? The ones who helped propel him into office as well as the ones who provide him the technology to do his own PR? Strange times, to say the least.

Sociopaths are the people that strain the law and the limits of decency. Twitter shouldn't have to ponder X'ing the POTUS's Twitter account. Such an idea should be ridiculous.
Should be, maybe, depending on what happens next and then after that... I imagine there will be lots of things that we look back on and think, yeah, we def coulda done that differently.

Okay, wait... what? Your "decision on Don McGahn"?
You mean that you are the reason he is leaving his position?
