bonginoreport--2020-07-07--Trump Campaign Rips Univision Bias – “MSNBC en Español”

The Trump-Pence campaign has added Univision , the all-Spanish TV network and website , to its list of “ fake news , ” charging that it lied about President Trump ’ s July 3 speech at Mount Rushmore and is covering up Democratic flaws to help Joe Biden in the presidential election .
“ Hispanic Americans deserve a real and fair news network , not MSNBC en Espanol , ” the campaign said in a statement .
While the campaign said that the speech was a rallying cry for unity , it found the Univision story on it similar to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as the New York Times , which declared it a “ dark and divisive speech ” in a much-promoted story .
“ Univision dishonestly suggested President Trump 's defense of American history and ideals was about ‘ whether or not Confederate monuments should be removed.
’ ” said the campaign .
“ In fact , President Trump ’ s only allusion to the Confederacy was when he praised abolitionist Frederick Douglass ( who fought it ) , honored Ulysses S. Grant ( who defeated it ) , and quoted the ‘ Battle Hymn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) , ” it added .
Univision ’ s coverage clearly pushed the campaign over the line , and they used it as an excuse to list other complaints against the network the president and his supporters have often fought with .
It came just as Univision ’ s best-known host , Jorge Ramos , was explaining that viewers expect the network to “ do much more than just deliver the news.
” On the Columbia Journalism Review website , Univision was called the biggest and most respected network for Hispanics .
Ramos @ @ @ @ @ @ @ turnout .
“ I hope that Latinos won ’ t make the same mistake they did in 2016 , ” he said , when turnout fell below expectations .
In its statement , the campaign hit the network for promoting politics favorable to Democrats leading up to the election while hiding news about Trump ’ s efforts to help Hispanics .
“ These are not just editorial oversights ( which coincidentally always cut in the same direction ) ; it 's disgraceful partisan activism posing as journalism .
It stems from years of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whose ideological zealotry sullies the work of their colleagues and local affiliates , ” it said .
Below is the full statement : Univision Trashes Mount Rushmore in Its Fourth of July Coverage In his address to the nation on Friday , President Trump reaffirmed our commitment to the beliefs enshrined in the Declaration of Independence .
Described by the Wall Street Journal as `` one of the best speeches of his Presidency , ” it included a call for Americans to follow Dr. Martin Luther King 's example and recognize `` the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ embrace our founding ideals . ''
The president appealed to American values like “ equal opportunity , equal justice , and equal treatment , ” yet Univision anchor Arantxa Loizaga falsely claimed it was `` a controversial speech that ( ... ) further divided the nation . ''
Similar to how Univision regularly ignores research showing many Hispanics actually support much of the President 's immigration agenda , its characterization of his speech ignored a recent a poll that found 75 % of Americans agree with President Trump that Mount Rushmore should be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did not stop there .
Reporter Pablo Gato reduced Mount Rushmore to `` sculptures of four former presidents , some of whom owned slaves . ''
One expects a leftist rag like Telesur to disparage a revered American landmark , not a national news network .

Univision ’ s deliberate deception is outrageous , but it 's also part of a pattern .
The network regularly hides left-wing extremism from Hispanics : Viewers who rely on Univision would not know that radical leftists have desecrated monuments to Hispanic heroes , such as San Junpiero Serra , Simón Bolívar , and Miguel de Cervantes—an editorial omission that would be unthinkable if the vandals were associated with the political right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Democrat Party and Joe Biden 's extremism on abortion .

Univision Trashes Mount Rushmore in Its Fourth of July Coverage
Hispanic Americans deserve better than 'MSNBC en Español.'
In his address to the nation on Friday, President Trump reaffirmed our commitment to the beliefs enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. Described by the Wall Street Journal as "one of the best speeches of his Presidency,” it included a call for Americans to follow Dr. Martin Luther King's example and recognize "the mission of justice required us to fully embrace our founding ideals."
The president appealed to American values like “equal opportunity, equal justice, and equal treatment,” yet Univision anchor Arantxa Loizaga falsely claimed it was "a controversial speech that (...) further divided the nation." Similar to how Univision regularly ignores research showing many Hispanics actually support much of the President's immigration agenda, its characterization of his speech ignored a recent a poll that found 75% of Americans agree with President Trump that Mount Rushmore should be preserved.
Univision’s unfair coverage did not stop there. Reporter Pablo Gato reduced Mount Rushmore to "sculptures of four former presidents, some of whom owned slaves." One expects a leftist rag like Telesur to disparage a revered American landmark, not a national news network.
Univision dishonestly suggested President Trump's defense of American history and ideals was about "whether or not Confederate monuments should be removed." In fact, President Trump’s only allusion to the Confederacy was when he praised abolitionist Frederick Douglass (who fought it), honored Ulysses S.

Nor would its viewers know of the Democrat Party and Joe Biden's extremism on abortion.
They would be equally unaware that Joe Biden and other Democrats have imposed a fake ethnic term on them that's rejected by 98% of Hispanics.
Univision knows the Democrat Party's cultural extremism would alienate their audience, so they consistently avoid or downplay it. Their activism extends to other topics:
Last week, Univision falsely claimed that Hispanic unemployment is the highest.
Univision's Jorge Ramos has falsely denied that radical leftist groups were involved in recent riots.
In a special that would have made Walter Duranty proud, Ramos assured his viewers that neo-Marxists merely want a "strong social safety net," despite the fact one of the people he interviewed openly calls for abolishing capitalism.
A Univision initiative is encouraging millennials to add Eduardo Galeano's infamous "Open Veins of Latin America" to their reading lists, a Marxist manifesto that is so radical that Hugo Chavez gave it to Barack Obama as a gift and Galeano eventually disavowed his own book.

EXC: The Washington Post’s Former Chief Political Correspondent Registered as ‘Foreign Agent’ to Represent CCP-Linked Huawei
The Washington Post editorial board decried India’s “alarming” decision to ban 59 Chinese-developed apps as “fracturing the internet.” Meanwhile, former Washington Post staff now lobby for Huawei, the National Pulse can reveal.
Former Washington Post Chief Political Correspondent and Editor Terry Neal, also an ex-principal at Obama White House Counselor John Podesta’s lobbying group, “provided strategic communications advice” for Huawei, a China-based technology company vying to dominate the world’s 5G infrastructure.
Labeled a “national security threat” by the Trump administration and a Chinese military collaborator by the Department of Defense (DOD), Huawei routinely provides the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) backdoor access to its products and networks and devices.
Despite such fears, Neal, the current Executive Vice President for global communications firm Burson Cohn & Wolfe represented Huawei amidst the height of the U.S. government’s crusade against the company.
This revolving door, unearthed from Neal’s 2019 Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA), follows reports the Post received nearly $5 million from China Daily, a media outlet controlled and funded by the CCP, to run advertisements. Former Obama administration officials have also lobbied for Huawei, including Neal’s co-worker and former State and Treasury Department Adviser Shaila Manyam, and reporters from the Post’s legacy media counterparts such as CNN and the BBC have gone on to push CCP propaganda as state-run media talent.
WAPO = CCP.
Boasting a nearly 13-year tenure at the Post, Neal joined the outlet in 1994 covering local politics before being promoted to the National Desk as a political reporter and columnist and later an assistant editor of the publication’s metropolitan section.
Neal was also under contract as a CNN political analyst, noting he appeared “regularly on shows such as Inside Politics, NewsNight with Aaron Brown, Wolf Blitzer,” was “a regular guest on Chris Matthew’s Sunday Show on NBC,” and “made more than 100 appearances on other networks, including MSNBC, PBS, ABC, and the various local news affiliates” on his LinkedIn.

Look no further than its coverage of India’s decision to ban 59 Chinese apps in response to ongoing border skirmishes between the two countries.
‘FRACTURING THE INTERNET’.
India banned apps such as TikTok which have fallen under increased scrutiny for secretly collecting users’ data, exponentially more dangerous given China’s ability to requisition any company per Article Seven of its National Intelligence law:
“Any organization or citizen shall support, assist, and cooperate with state intelligence work according to law.”
Despite these concerns, however, the Post’s editorial board felt compelled to issue an op-ed on July 4th entitled “India isn’t just fracturing the Internet with its ban on Chinese apps. It’s shrinking it.”

Actress Halle Berry apologized and backed out of potentially playing a transgender character in a film after she received fierce backlash online for considering the role as a “ cis-gender ” woman .
According to Harper ’ s Bazaar , Berry told fans via Instagram Live that she was up for consideration to play a transgender man in an upcoming film until she received a flood of criticism scolding her for “ taking ” a role from someone who identifies as transgender .
The magazine also noted that Berry “ misgendered ” the character while speaking of the role .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ playing ] a character where the woman is a trans character , so she ’ s a woman that transitioned into a man , ” Berry said via Instagram Live .
“ She ’ s a character in a project I love that I might be doing.

I want to deep dive in that in the way I did ‘ Bruised , ' ” she continued .
“ Who this woman was is so interesting to me , and that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and that will require me cutting all of my hair off.
” The 53-year-old quickly caved to pressures , issuing an apology via Twitter that announced she was stepping down from consideration for the role .
“ Over the weekend I had the opportunity to discuss my consideration of an upcoming role as a transgender man and I ’ d like to apologise for those remarks , ” the statement read .
“ As a cisgender woman , I now understand that I should not have considered this role and that the transgender @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tell their own stories.

“ I vow to be an ally in using my voice to promote better representation on-screen , both in front of and behind the camera.

“At the start of the show, I reasoned with myself that it was permissible for me to play ‘Missy’ because her mom is Jewish and White — as am I,” the actress said in a lengthy statement. “But ‘Missy’ is also Black, and Black characters on an animated show should be played by Black people.”
Slate contended that “ending” her “portrayal of ‘Missy’ is one step in a life-long process of uncovering the racism in my actions.”

bonginoreport--2020-07-08--Astronomers Say That White Dwarfs Are Primary Source of Carbon in Milky Way

Astronomers have analyzed a few carbon-oxygen white dwarfs in Milky Way ’ s old open clusters , and their findings help shed new light on the origin of the carbon , an element essential to life on Earth .
Every carbon atom in the Universe was created by stars , through the fusion of three helium nuclei .
But astrophysicists still debate which types of stars are the primary source of the carbon in our own galaxy , the Milky Way .
Some are in favor of low-mass stars that blew off their carbon-rich envelopes by stellar winds became white @ @ @ @ @ @ @ site of carbon ’ s synthesis in the winds of massive stars that eventually exploded as supernovae .
Using data from the W.M .
Keck Observatory in Hawaii collected in 2018 , University of Padua astronomer Paola Marigo and colleagues analyzed white dwarfs belonging to five open star clusters : NGC 752 , Ruprecht 147 , NGC 6121 , NGC 6819 , and NGC 7789 .
“ From the analysis of the observed Keck spectra , it was possible to measure the masses of the white dwarfs , ” said co-author Professor Enrico @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of California – Santa Cruz .
“ Using the theory of stellar evolution , we were able to trace back to the progenitor stars and derive their masses at birth.
” The relationship between the initial masses of stars and their final masses as white dwarfs is known as the initial-final mass relation , a fundamental diagnostic integrates information from the entire life cycles of stars .
The analysis of white dwarfs observed by the team gave a surprising result : the masses of these stars were notably larger than expected , putting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mass relation for stars with initial masses in a certain range .
“ Our study interprets this kink in the initial-final mass relationship as the signature of the synthesis of carbon made by low-mass stars in the Milky Way , ” Dr. Marigo said .
In the last phases of their lives , stars twice as massive as our Sun produced new carbon atoms in their hot interiors , transported them to the surface , and finally spread them into the interstellar medium through gentle stellar winds .

Astronomers have analyzed a few carbon-oxygen white dwarfs in Milky Way’s old open clusters, and their findings help shed new light on the origin of the carbon, an element essential to life on Earth.
Every carbon atom in the Universe was created by stars, through the fusion of three helium nuclei.
But astrophysicists still debate which types of stars are the primary source of the carbon in our own galaxy, the Milky Way.
Some are in favor of low-mass stars that blew off their carbon-rich envelopes by stellar winds became white dwarfs, and others place the major site of carbon’s synthesis in the winds of massive stars that eventually exploded as supernovae.
Using data from the W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii collected in 2018, University of Padua astronomer Paola Marigo and colleagues analyzed white dwarfs belonging to five open star clusters: NGC 752, Ruprecht 147, NGC 6121, NGC 6819, and NGC 7789.
“From the analysis of the observed Keck spectra, it was possible to measure the masses of the white dwarfs,” said co-author Professor Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, an astronomer at the University of California – Santa Cruz.
“Using the theory of stellar evolution, we were able to trace back to the progenitor stars and derive their masses at birth.”
The relationship between the initial masses of stars and their final masses as white dwarfs is known as the initial-final mass relation, a fundamental diagnostic integrates information from the entire life cycles of stars.
The analysis of white dwarfs observed by the team gave a surprising result: the masses of these stars were notably larger than expected, putting a ‘kink’ in the initial-final mass relation for stars with initial masses in a certain range.
“Our study interprets this kink in the initial-final mass relationship as the signature of the synthesis of carbon made by low-mass stars in the Milky Way,” Dr. Marigo said.
In the last phases of their lives, stars twice as massive as our Sun produced new carbon atoms in their hot interiors, transported them to the surface, and finally spread them into the interstellar medium through gentle stellar winds.
The team’s detailed stellar models indicate that the stripping of the carbon-rich outer mantle occurred slowly enough to allow the central cores of these stars, the future white dwarfs, to grow appreciably in mass.
Analyzing the initial-final mass relation around the kink, the researchers concluded that stars bigger than 2 solar masses also contributed to the Galactic enrichment of carbon, while stars of less than 1.5 solar masses did not.
In other words, the mass of 1.5 solar masses is the minimum mass for a star to spread carbon-enriched material.
“The findings pose new, stringent constraints on how and when carbon was produced by stars of our galaxy, ending up within the raw material from which the Sun and its planetary system were formed 4.6 billion years ago,” said co-author Dr. Jeffrey Cummings, an astronomer at the Johns Hopkins University.
“One of most exciting aspects of this research is that it impacts the age of known white dwarfs, which are essential cosmic probes to understand the formation history of the Milky Way,” said co-author Dr. Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, an astronomer at the University of Warwick.
“The initial-to-final mass relation is also what sets the lower mass limit for supernovae, the gigantic explosions seen at large distances and that are really important to understand the nature of the Universe.”
The results appear in the journal Nature Astronomy.

bonginoreport--2020-07-08--Eagles’ DeSean Jackson Apologizes for Anti-Semitic Instagram Posts

There can be no excuse for ignorance , not now — ...

The Philadelphia Eagles responded to DeSean Jackson posting anti-Semitic quotes attributed to Adolf Hitler on Instagram, but the team isn’t yet taking action.
The Eagles have been in contact with the 33-year-old wide receiver, who posted an apology, and condemned his posts.
“We have spoken with DeSean Jackson about his social media posts. Regardless of his intentions, the messages he shared were offensive, harmful, and absolutely appalling,” the Eagles said in a statement Tuesday. “They have no place in our society, and are not condoned or supported in any way by the organization. We are disappointed and we reiterated to DeSean the importance of not only apologizing, but also using his platform to take action to promote unity, equality, and respect. We are continuing to evaluate the circumstances and will take appropriate action. We take these matters very seriously and are committed to continuing to have productive and meaningful conversations with DeSean, as well as all of our players and staff, in order to educate, learn, and grow.”
Jackson shared a highlighted quote attributed to Hitler that included, “… the Jews will blackmail America. [They] will extort America, their plan for world domination won’t work if the Negroes know who they were.” He posted the quotes while sharing thoughts on a speech by Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam who “routinely accuses Jews of manipulating the U.S. government and controlling the levers of world power,” according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
According to the fact-checking website Snopes, the quotes attributed to Hitler are bogus.
Jackson acknowledged the controversy stirred by his post.
“I never want to put any race down or any people down. My post was definitely not intended for anybody of any race to feel any type of way, especially the Jewish community,” Jackson said in a video posted to his Instagram Tuesday. “When I posted what I posted, I definitely didn’t mean it to the extent that you guys took it. I just wanted to let you guys know that I’m very apologetic, and I just want you guys to understand it was never intended to put any race down or any religion down. I post things on my story all the time, and I just probably should’ve never posted anything that Hitler did because Hitler was a bad person, and I know that. I was just trying to uplift African-Americans and slavery and just enlighten my people. So on behalf of myself, I just want to let you guys know I apologize. I didn’t intend any harm or any hatred towards any people. I’m for one, I’m for love, and I extend it every day. People that know me know I have no hatred in my heart. I never try to put another religion down to uplift my religion or my race. From the bottom of my heart, I just want you guys to understand that.”
Jackson’s post also got the attention of the NFL.
“DeSean’s comments were highly inappropriate, offensive and divisive and stand in stark contrast to the NFL’s values of respect, equality and inclusion,” the league wrote in a statement. “We have been in contact with the team which is addressing the matter with DeSean.”
Jackson spoke with a local Philadelphia Rabbi on Tuesday and the Eagles, according to NBC.
In a statement released later Tuesday, Jackson pledged to “fully educate myself” and “make a difference in our community.”
https://www.instagram.com/p/CCWKmvjFTAG/
Jackson spent his first six NFL seasons with the Eagles, who drafted him in the second round in 2008, and he returned to the team last season in a trade with the Buccaneers. He has two years left on a three-year contract worth up to $27 million.

bonginoreport--2020-07-08--Ninth Circuit Court Opines Against Trump Rule on Asylum Claims From Central America

A federal appeals court blocked a rule from the Trump administration that would have denied asylum to people who got to the U.S. by traveling through a third country .
The rule is in line with other nations that require asylum applicants seeking asylum because they fear for their lives in their home country to apply for asylum in the first nation they travel to that offers a safe haven .
That would invalidate asylum claims from most Central American migrants who pass through Mexico on their way to the U.S .
But that ’ s not good enough , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ US Circuit Court of Appeals found that the rule “ does virtually nothing to ensure that a third country is a safe option ” and is a strain on organization resources .
“ The appeals court ruled on much broader grounds than the DC District Court which found a procedural violation .

Mexico has a high murder rate , but it ’ s safer than Guatemala or Honduras .
Should the standard be the safest option that an asylum seeker can get to or someplace safer than where he started ?
The judge who wrote the decision is a Trump appointee .
Judge Timothy Kelly , a Trump appointee at the US District Court for the District of Columbia , had similarly sided with the plaintiffs last Tuesday , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and face more difficulties in representing clients for which the rule applies .
Kelly also noted that new coronavirus restrictions on the border largely bar migrants from entering the US , so the court action will not lead to “ disruptive consequences.
” “ Indeed , that recent pandemic-related administrative action appears to have effectively closed the southern border indefinitely to aliens seeking asylum only underscores that vacatur of the Rule will not result in prohibitively disruptive consequences , ” Kelly wrote .
Kelly is right in that there will not be a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But the future is less certain .
A Biden presidency would throw open the borders and radically liberalize asylum rules .
And it ’ s doubtful a Biden administration would work very hard to keep illegal aliens from flooding the country .
This isn ’ t “ fear-mongering ” or “ race-baiting ” or any other false charge made by the open borders crowd .
There is such a thing as common sense in immigration policy .
Trump , to his credit , tried to inject some of that into the process @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can stay .
As a practical matter , ask the border patrol if they can handle another tidal wave of migrants seeking entry into the U.S. — legally or illegally .
The answer is a resounding no and there will be thousands of people who suffer needlessly because the left wants to signal how virtuous and compassionate they are .

Although a better-than-expected June jobs report raised questions about whether additional aid is needed -- it showed employers added 4.8 million jobs last month and the unemployment rate ticked down to 11.1 percent -- a recent resurgence in COVID-19 cases has threatened to derail the economy's nascent recovery from the worst downturn since the Great Depression.

The administration is also interested in targeted relief for industries hit hardest, like hotels and restaurants. Money for that aid could stem from the Paycheck Protection Program, the $670 billion fund designed to keep small businesses afloat and avert mass layoffs during the crisis. There's roughly $132 billion left over in the fund; last week, Congress voted to extend the application period for the program through Aug. 8.
Sen. Marco Rubio, the chair of the Small Business Committee, is working on legislation backed by the Trump administration that would create new programs to expand uses for the funds, including allowing chambers of commerce to apply for the aid. The bill would set aside $25 billion for businesses with fewer than 10 employees and prevent hotel or restaurant chains from receiving more than $2 million.

bonginoreport--2020-07-08--Facebook Purges Accounts Linked to Roger Stone

( Reuters ) - Facebook Inc ( FB.O ) on Wednesday removed 50 personal and professional pages connected to U.S. President Donald Trump ’ s longtime adviser Roger Stone , who is due to report to prison next week .
The social media platform said Stone and his associates , including a prominent supporter of the right-wing Proud Boys group in Stone ’ s home state of Florida , had used fake accounts and followers to promote Stone ’ s books and posts .
Facebook moved against Stone on the same day it took down accounts tied to employees of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and two other networks connected to domestic political operations in Ecuador and Ukraine .
Nathaniel Gleicher , Facebook ’ s head of cybersecurity policy , said the removals were meant to show that artificially inflating engagement for political impact would be stopped , no matter how well connected the practitioners .
“ It doesn ’ t matter what they ’ re saying , and it doesn ’ t matter who they are , ” Gleicher told Reuters before the announcement on the company 's blog bit.ly/2Z7QSzc .
“ We expect we ’ re @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this line and use coordinated inauthentic behavior to try to influence public debate.
” Facebook officials said they took down Stone ’ s personal Facebook and Instagram pages and his Stone Cold Truth Facebook page , which had 141,000 followers .
A total of 54 Facebook accounts and 50 pages were removed for misbehavior , including the creation of fake accounts .
The accounts spent more than $ 300,000 on advertisements over the past few years , Facebook said .
Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg was briefed on the actions beforehand , officials said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and other conservatives who accuse Facebook of suppressing right-wing voices .
Facebook last month took down a Trump re-election ad that included a Nazi symbol , and it pledged to steer users to facts on voting when Trump , or anyone else , touches on the topic .
Facebook is under pressure from civil rights advocates and allied groups as well , and hundreds of advertisers have joined a boycott demanding the company crack down on hateful and divisive messages .
Stone was convicted last year for witness tampering and lying to Congress @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mueller investigated Russian interference in the 2016 election .
In a lengthy email , Stone said he did not control fake accounts and that his accounts had no connection to the Proud Boys .
“ I am being censored by Facebook and Twitter because my social media postings expose the truth regarding the now discredited Mueller investigation and the Russian Collusion hoax as well as the unfairness of my trial in 2020 to the extent possible without violating the protective seal left in place by the court and because I am an outspoken @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wrote .
In search warrant documents released this April , the FBI said a Stone assistant told interviewers in 2018 “ that he purchased a couple hundred fake Facebook accounts as part of this work.
” Facebook said its probe was influenced by the April search documents .
But the company said that its unit guarding against coordinated inauthentic behavior had already been looking into Stone ’ s pages after a referral from a separate Facebook team monitoring dangerous organizations , which was tracking the Proud Boys .
Facebook marked the Proud Boys @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2018 .
Members have been charged with violence in multiple instances and recently clashed with anti-racism protesters .
One of the accounts connected to the Proud Boys was operated by Jacob Engels , Facebook said .
Stone testified last year that Engels could post on Instagram on his behalf and had access to his phone .
Engels , who writes for far-right sites , told Reuters he is not a member of the Proud Boys but has “ embedded ” with them to research the group .
Graphika analyst Ben Nimmo , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had been most active in 2016 and 2017 , among other things promoting stories about the Democratic emails published by WikiLeaks as part of the Russian interference effort .
Many of the accounts were later deleted , and in recent weeks they have mostly reflected Stone ’ s quest to receive a pardon from Trump for his crimes , according to Nimmo .
“ The inauthentic accounts were amplifying various Stone assets , like his page , or advertising one of his books , ” Nimmo said .
Stone has been stepping up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump before he reports to prison , where his family fears the spread of COVID-19 .
Trump has said that Stone was treated unfairly , and his attorney general intervened to seek a lesser sentence , prompting four career prosecutors to resign from the case .

The social media platform said Stone and his associates, including a prominent supporter of the right-wing Proud Boys group in Stone’s home state of Florida, had used fake accounts and followers to promote Stone’s books and posts.
Facebook moved against Stone on the same day it took down accounts tied to employees of the family of Brazilian leader Jair Bolsonaro and two other networks connected to domestic political operations in Ecuador and Ukraine.
Nathaniel Gleicher, Facebook’s head of cybersecurity policy, said the removals were meant to show that artificially inflating engagement for political impact would be stopped, no matter how well connected the practitioners.
“It doesn’t matter what they’re saying, and it doesn’t matter who they are,” Gleicher told Reuters before the announcement on the company's blog bit.ly/2Z7QSzc. “We expect we’re going to see more political actors cross this line and use coordinated inauthentic behavior to try to influence public debate.”
Facebook officials said they took down Stone’s personal Facebook and Instagram pages and his Stone Cold Truth Facebook page, which had 141,000 followers. A total of 54 Facebook accounts and 50 pages were removed for misbehavior, including the creation of fake accounts. The accounts spent more than $300,000 on advertisements over the past few years, Facebook said.
Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg was briefed on the actions beforehand, officials said.
The removals risk further angering Trump and other conservatives who accuse Facebook of suppressing right-wing voices. Facebook last month took down a Trump re-election ad that included a Nazi symbol, and it pledged to steer users to facts on voting when Trump, or anyone else, touches on the topic.
Facebook is under pressure from civil rights advocates and allied groups as well, and hundreds of advertisers have joined a boycott demanding the company crack down on hateful and divisive messages.
