“Come to think of it, I am going to alert the @SEC directly about @Disney, @ABC and their misleading response to the whistleblower’s accusations about the presidential debate,” Ackman said.

Unfortunately for Ackman, he did not tag the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as he intended. The Twitter handle @SEC belongs to the NCAA’s Southeastern Conference. Unless he wanted to enlist the expertise of athletic programs like Georgia and Alabama, it was a comical error.

Twelve minutes later, Ackman doubled down on the tweet without realizing the mistake. In a second tweet, he claimed the SEC “understands the importance of the US securities markets. I believe it is one of the most non-partisan of our government agencies.”

    Why do they believe these ‘rumors’ that are so obviously lies? I honestly don’t get it. Why are rumors so powerful?

      It confirms what they already want to believe is true, so they go along with it and all critical thought goes out the window.

    I’m starting to think I shouldn’t be using Lemmy as my primary news source.

    What is he talking about? The article only mentions an agreement to not ask about Biden’s health. Is that really what he’s upset about?
