I see post after post linking to tweets from some user named Acyn. Most seem to retweeting some RW talking point with little context. What am I missing?

(38,339 posts)then I don't get a righty impression. There are a bunch of "righties saying the quiet parts out loud" clips, but judging by who he or she chooses to retweet, it ain't anybody friendly to the right.

(2,807 posts)There are A LOT of DU'ers who don't understand that concept, who get all twisted sideways when somebody posts a crazy assed RWer saying stuff that deserves to be seen and deserved to be mocked.
They see the RW personage pop up and automatically accuse some swell good Democrat of being a Trumper.
I feel deep sorrow for those not in on the mockery. It is one of the finer things in life!

(39,223 posts)His name is Acyn Torabi and he monitors right-wing media and such for flubs, hypocrisy and other nefarious practices. He then posts them on his Twitter feed. He is absolutely not a right-winger. Think of him as Media Matters but with tweets.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
