CNN reporter calls for Twitter to label Trump’s account as election disinformation

For some “journalists,” you just cannot censor President Trump enough.

Oliver Darcy, who covers the media for the liberal-leaning network CNN, says Twitter should flat-out declare all of the information that Trump shares on Twitter is misleading.

“Nearly every tweet from the president at this point is labeled for misinfo,” Darcy wrote in a newsletter. “Which had me thinking. Why doesn’t Twitter just take the step of labeling his entire account as a known source of election disinfo? And why stop there? Why not label accounts that repeatedly spread claims the platform has to fact-check?”

Darcy said by doing so, Twitter would “help users weed out reliable sources from bad-faith actors.”

“Think of it as a version of NewsGuard for Twitter,” Darcy wrote, referring to what some say is a liberal website that rates other sites.
