Journalist Banned From X For Exposing JD Vance Dossier


Ken Klippenstein was "temporarily suspended" from the social media platform on Thursday.

Ken Klippenstein, an independent journalist, was banned from X, formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday after he published a dossier on Sen. JD Vance(R-Ohio) via his newsletter and promoted the link on the social media site owned by Elon Musk. That illustrates the dramatic shift in attitudes about what the news media thinks the public should know, and the role the mainstream plays in steadily ceding that territory to the national security threat machine. The dossier includes everything from Vance’s “potential vulnerabilities,” his past criticisms of Trump, and his criminal, police, voting and lobbying records.
