Fox News guest host Jason Chaffetz takes a look at what the Twitter Files revealed about the relationship between Big Tech and the media on "The Ingraham Angle." 

JASON CHAFFETZ: [Michael Shellenberger] exposed the deep connection between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Twitter, including how adamant James Baker, then general counsel for the social media giant, was about the Hunter Biden story being in violation of Twitter policies. But there's one section that didn't receive as much attention as the rest. It included details about how media organizations and Big Tech, including former employees of the Department of Justice, agreed to working in concert to protect Joe Biden against damaging stories. 

This all happened at the Aspen Institute in August 2020, labeled a "tabletop exercise on combating disinformation." It quickly morphed into smothering a perfectly legitimate story. Now, due to new emails given to us by Shellenberger, we know the effort was organized by Vivian Schiller, former NPR president and former Twitter global chair of news.

And once we started pulling the thread of which journalists and social media employees were involved, we found other past associations that should raise eyebrows. First is Nathaniel Gleicher, current head of cybersecurity policy at Facebook, formerly of the Department of Justice. 

And these two, Andrew Grado and Janine Zacharia, both from Stanford, and the latter, a former bureau chief at The Washington Post. Now, Stanford's connection is important because it was their playbook that this harem of journalists would operate from. The university's cyber center published a 10-point "newsroom playbook for propaganda reporting," the irony being that their guidelines would result in said propaganda. 

The most interesting of these steps is number 10, which says networks must hire reporters assigned to cover the disinformation or a propaganda beat. As viewers of this channel know full well, these "media disinformation reporters" have become the foremost purveyors of slanderous propaganda themselves. 

Jon Meacham, a presidential biographer and historian, argued on PBS' "Firing Line" that former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., is similar to President Abraham Lincoln. 

"You recently published, ‘And There Was Light’, on the life of Abraham Lincoln. You say that Lincoln was 'a man who put moral commitment at the heart of what he was doing and a duty to constitutional order itself ahead of his own power," host Margaret Hoover noted.

"Are there modern day leaders that you think reflect similar qualities of character?" she asked.

"Yes, I think of Liz Cheney right off the top of the question. I think of people who have actually sacrificed their own individual power in the cause of preserving a larger order that for all of its imperfections has proved durable," Meacham said.

"And has also, in our own time, proven incredibly fragile. Which we all sort of notionally thought about, you know, democracy is fragile is the kind of thing we would say. But now we know it really is," he continued.

"And yet Liz Cheney is no longer a leader in Congress," the host responded.

"Exactly, and that's courage. And the one great test about the durability and the ultimate wisdom of the American people will be what happens to her next," Meacham said.

The historian argued that President George H.W. Bush also exemplified selflessness by signing a budget in 1990 that included increased taxes, despite his prior campaign commitment not to do so.

Cheney lost her re-election bid last year in the Republican primary by a historic 37 points. Since then, she has left the door open to a future presidential run and attacked Republican voters as "very sick".
