@_Schrami_ Jesse Singal -- the person you're quoting ("casual cattiness and condescension") -- actively campaigned for Joe Biden, and devoted his podcast to urging everyone do so urgently. He's a life-long Dem. So I think you need to re-work that theory. — PolitiTweet.org

@USCivitas I've done actual journalism continuously over the last two years - just not the kind you worship where you call the CIA and mindlessly endorse what they tell you. Two years ago, Brazil tried to imprison me for my journalism. My readers primarily fund me, along now with Rumble. https://t.co/zKLZz40aP8 — PolitiTweet.org

@SocialistMMA Both the size and diversity of my readership immediately increased - not insignificantly - when I quit the Intercept and began writing at Substack because huge numbers of people (as polling data proves) inherently distrust people affiliated with corporate media outlets. — PolitiTweet.org

Imagine being an employee of these incomparably despised and distrusted media corporations, and never once stopping to look in the mirror to ask what they've done to cause this, instead just getting more and more arrogant and seeking refuge in an increasingly incestuous herd... https://t.co/SuOXNQVMrr — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The public despises the corporate media. There is almost nobody held in lower esteem or who is more distrusted and abhorred than the liberal employees of large media corporations. Nobody wants to hear from them, so in-group arrogance is all they have left https://t.co/DT1jrkGcyY — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is a common theme among liberals: if you don't work for NBC News or CNN, you can't be a real journalist, just a grifter. Who the fuck would want to work for NBC, suffocated by corporate constraints? But liberals venerate corporate power, see it as necessary for legitimacy. — PolitiTweet.org

Ben Collins could live to be 500 - get every obscure citizen with problematic views banned from FB - and still wouldn't get close to Taibbi's journalistic accomplishments. But he's a liberal and thus authoritarian, so believes legitimacy requires you work for a big corporation: https://t.co/4qFX7zDS0h — PolitiTweet.org

@Hilding_EU @snorman1776 @whstancil Race plays no role in these people's lives. They see people of color and racism accusations solely in instrumental terms: fun online toys they get to play with to hurl insults at and try to stigmatize political enemies. Race is a game to them, not something real in their lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Dangerclose001 @BobsBoughners @whstancil Yes, I've done a lot of reporting on it. What these permanent power factions crave above all is a stable, reliable, predictable status quo defender - key: they act "presidential" to keep the facade going: Clinton Bush, Obama, Biden: all good. Trump's instability scared them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@whstancil LOL. She spent the last several years earning $20 million or more as one of the most powerful executives at one of the world's most powerful corporations - with another $20m golden parachute coming - and you're here to say, as a good leftist: she's off-limits from critique! — PolitiTweet.org

@galt_dead @nycexpatmom @whstancil Some bad, mischievous friend sent it to me by DM to provoke me and I'm easily provoked. https://t.co/aiRQF0pTU1 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BobsBoughners @whstancil I virtually never write about the culture war - barely ever. My focus is almost entirely on the US Security State, the union of state and corporate censorship, imperialism, Big Tech, etc -- exactly as it always was. What's changed is your side now is in bed with those factions. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@whstancil The planet's whitest man - who thinks he's some kind of intellectual dissident because he tepidly criticizes DNC strategy - gets very confused by anyone who doesn't fit within the most primitive Dem/GOP dichotomy and thus, exasperated, explains it away with... racism accusations. — PolitiTweet.org

I mean I've encountered people who harbor a bizarrely unhealthy reverence for Hillary Clinton before, but I don't think I've ever quite seen the Norman-Bates-level of adoration that drove Twitter's ex-Head of Censorship. This is the person they put in charge of censoring. Look:😬 https://t.co/bK7gWN1PgA — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

How can anyone claim pre-Musk Twitter was censoring to boost the Dem Party and silence its enemies, when this paragon of sober non-partisanship, @yoyoel, was in charge of Twitter's censorship regime? The only thing he loved more than banning critics of Dems was Hillary Clinton.👇 https://t.co/rYbCp0vaUk — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Paisano @elonmusk Yeah, I said in this video we're in the early stages of Musk's ownership. Some of these bans - not Kanye's - clearly have nothing to do with Elon: just automatic bans or moderators instituting rules (same with some reinstatements). That's why I think it's worth discussing now. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

For our Friday night show - still in its test-run phase as we prepare for its debut on Rumble: live, M-F, 7pm ET -- we examined Elon Musk's banning of Kanye West, and what this and other bans reflect about the free speech principles now governing Twitter: https://t.co/2TnO5973XH — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

How do these people all manage to talk exactly alike: the same platitudes, intonations, and contrived emotions ("watching Taibbi's downfall is so sad: I thought he was a reliable Dem")?? Liberal pundits live in a closed information system, speaking only to and for one another: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@DavidAFrench Eh, fair enough. It was a fleeting reference but one I should have seen. Deleting my tweet - apologies. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@DavidAFrench Your discussion of the case law here is wrong. Political officials (including in Congress) can violate the 1st Am by pressuring/coercing private actors to censor, as SupCt has ruled. Maybe you think it hasn't risen to that level, but that's the law: https://t.co/KBMZpF1hbb — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@confitador @mtaibbi Exactly the same reason that you're targeting me. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One other revolting attribute of liberal journalists and their brethren: They spent 24 hours spewing pure rage and hatred toward @mtaibbi, but if you mention *their names* to critique them, you're putting them in "harm's way." But they can unite in hordes to attack anyone. https://t.co/zmdkyFjs47 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

If you listen to this person talk -- how he speaks and what he says: about how "traumatized" he and his fellow censors are -- and then realize he's spent the last several years in charge of Twitter's censorship regime, everything starts to make sense: https://t.co/inGsJKzR7J — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And yes, we all know if you're a liberal journalist, you believe any reporting that reflects poorly on Dem Party leaders is trivial, a "nothingburger," worthless. No need to say that each time. Just put it in your bio next to your Mastandon address: https://t.co/QiWQNLsinI — PolitiTweet.org
