1. Speculation is afoot

that one or more of these outlets is facing legal jeopardy for promoting propaganda.

That almost sounds too good to be true, yet they are undeniably propaganda outlets; the question is, on whose behalf?

[Roland99]

2. Solidarity or fear?

[Qutzupalotl]

6. I'm guessing fear.

They don’t do a lot of self-censorship or solidarity.

3. "Silence Is Golden"!

[volstork]

15. But duct tape is silver!

4. Drudge's account is almost always empty. When he does tweet, he usually deletes it pretty quickly.

This is not unusual.

And isn't Fox silent in protest of Tucker Carlson's issue? And wikileaks' Twitter feed is still there, although they last tweeted four days ago. This feels like a lot of half-cocked rumor-mongering.

7. Wikileaks hasn't tweeted a new tweet in three days.

Same with Fox News, which is highly unusual. This all follows an unusual meeting between Rupert Murdoch and Mitch McConnell after the midterms.

5. Prior tweet from Dirk Schwenk

(who is the lawyer for Claude Taylor, aka @truefactsstated of the mini Trump baby balloon and controversial billboards fame):

11. He cites the republican's inability to perform even "fake honor"

Now that speaks fugly volumes about the dishonorable republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief.

8. The accounts appear to be there

although there was this article about Faux and Tucker Carlson melodrama -

Fox News Twitter account dark for days due to Tucker Carlson home threats
By Joe Concha - 11/12/18 07:57 AM EST


The official Twitter account for Fox News has not tweeted since Thursday, reportedly in protest of the social media company's lack of responsiveness regarding content associated with a protest outside of host Tucker Carlson's home.

The network protest comes after a left-wing group associated with antifa converged on the Washington, D.C., home of Carlson last Wednesday night while chanting "Racist scumbag, leave town!" and warning on social media that Carlson and his family "were not safe."

"BREAKING. Activists ring doorbell, hold protest at the Washington D.C. area home of @TuckerCarlson, racist, sexist, bigoted FOX News personality. So far no one has opened the door," read a since-removed tweet by Smash Racism DC, which associates itself with antifa. The tweet also included video of the incident outside Carlson's home. "Every night you spread fear into our homes—fear of the other, fear of us, and fear of them. Each night you tell us we are not safe. Tonight you’re reminded that we have a voice," another tweet read. "Tonight, we remind you that you are not safe either."

In a statement last Thursday, Carlson said his wife, who was home alone, thought it was a home invasion and locked herself in a pantry until police arrived.

Sludge's own personal twitter account hasn't had any tweets...

9. It's not like Fox to give up their voice voluntarily.

It’s kind of like Hearst not buying ink.

Fox’s explanation sounds like a cover story for something else we can’t quite see yet.

[renegade000]

12. Had a similar feeling...

If it were a statement about the events surrounding Tucker Carlson, you'd think they'd have made more of a stink about it.

[Initech]

10. Someone's getting indicted!!

[Botany]

13. +1

Please let it be a link between Fox News and Russia

[machoneman]

14. Yes! This isn't just a move for Tucker's support. They are all going to jail! Yeah!!!!!!!

Lock them up!

[Stuart G]

17. The word is out,,,indictments this week..(in my opinion)

[Poiuyt]

33. That's what they said last week too

But damn, do I hope you're right!

[Stuart G]

34. So do I but, if indictments come in the next 2 weeks that is ok with me. As long as the indictments

go after the key players. Especially Trump Jr. and a few others. We will see, and who knows? I sure do not have any inside information. I know exactly what you know from looking at DU and a couple of other sites.

[Poiuyt]

37. Stuart, following DU keeps us informed better than 99.9% of the American public

20. drudge posts on the other account

Fox no tweets for 4 days is oddball though.

[LiberalArkie]

21. They are scared of what they created

[displacedtexan]

22. I live 6 blocks from The Internet Archive. Everything's preserved.

It's all in their various clouds, which means FOX, Wikileaks, & Drudge can just suck it.

[oldlibdem]

24. ok,cool.

nt

[oldlibdem]

23. But on the internet nothing is really gone forever, right?

If his game is to dispose of the evidence isn't it already too late?

[UniteFightBack]

25. I am DYING to know why this is happening. If Faux was boycotting it's customary to announce the

boycott.

[Qutzupalotl]

31. Exactly. They waited to be asked and came up with this lame excuse.

That screams "our cover story is fake!"

My guess? Everybody's lawyering up.

[Bfd]

26. Hey Matt, YOU CAN'T ERASE THE INTERNET

30. Now the FBI is thwarted!1!

lol They are all so fucked!

[pecosbob]

32. Thanks for cleaning up all the garbage...

[brettdale]

35. I dont beleive this is in support of tucker carson

Or some right wing talking about about stealing elections or
the fact that they think twitter is unfair to conservatives.

Im no conspiracy theorist, but I believe Muller and other investigations
must be close, so these groups are getting rid of what they have written.

We had a blogger here in New Zealand who for years abused, criticized, trolled and dox people,
then they started a new blog and it took off, they deleted their twitter account and
old blog, and went on various tv shows talking about people bully them.

If people are deleting their social media posts, there is always a reason.

36. Enquirer is dark too...
