Liberal corporate journalists sit online all day, roaming in packs, spewing the most vicious insults against those they dislike. But the minute someone criticizes them, they scream "harassment." Why would think think people won't see, or would accept, this double standard? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@DamonLinker Are you grateful that the CIA disseminated an outright lie two weeks before the election in order to protect Joe Biden, and that most major media corporations ratified this lie, or do you feel that the cause was just enough that doing so was noble or at least understandable? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@shannoncoulter @ejdickson @MarisaKabas @juliaioffe I've always critiqued, mocked and exposed the lies of corporate journalists - ever since I created a blog - and I'll never stop. Journalists are powerful actors and deserve critical scrutiny like anyone else. Your attempt to place them off-limits from critique will fail. — PolitiTweet.org

@shannoncoulter @ejdickson @MarisaKabas @juliaioffe Explain to me why you and Julia Ioffe and countless other liberal employees of media corporations can attack, insult, malign and incite hatred against me on a daily basis here and it's OK, but if I criticize them, then it's "harassment." Why are corporate media mavens off-limits? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

These liberal corporate media employees and their academic comrades are about 6 seconds away from demanding FBI and Mueller investigate whether Musk colluded with the Russians to manipulate the Trump poll. This is the same clique who lied about the Biden laptop being Russian. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@shannoncoulter @ejdickson @MarisaKabas @juliaioffe Of course you believe your attacking me -- a gay Jew in a multi-racial marriage and family -- is perfectly fine. When you and your liberal media friends attack me daily with the most vicious insults, this is fine to you, not "harassment." Your double standard is rejected.🤷‍♂️ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@shannoncoulter @ejdickson @MarisaKabas @juliaioffe These are wealthy journalists who deliberately seek a public platform and who have the world's largest media corporations behind them. Critiquing their public statements and them are fair game, not "harassment." That they convince people like you that they're immune is pathetic. — PolitiTweet.org

@ejdickson @MarisaKabas Stay safe, EJ. As a gay man and a Jew in an inter-racial marriage with an inter-racial family, I somehow am surviving in the new Treblinka called Twitter. I wish you and Marisa the greatest luck in your attempts to fight your away out of the new Warsaw Ghetto one tweet at a time. — PolitiTweet.org

@MarisaKabas My grandfather and grandmother's family was murdered in concentration camps. My grandmother and her youngest sister were the only ones who escaped Germany to get to the US in the mid-1930s. But Thank God I have MSNBC's Marisa Kabas to tell me what is and isn't dangerous for Jews. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Anyway, it's obvious why all these media corporations united to ratify what was so clearly a CIA lie right before the election. It's the same reason they won't retract or acknowledge it now: They lied to ensure Trump lost, and they know their liberal audience wants them to lie. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In US politics, the dominant, hegemonic group are neoliberals: the establishment wing of the Democratic Party and GOP. Loyalists to the establishment are never censored. Those who are censored are dissidents, those who oppose that establishment power. That's how it always works. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The first reporting I ever did on Big Tech censorship was in 2016: how Israel was handling lists to Facebook of Palestinian journalists they wanted banned, and FB obeyed. That's how censorship works: a weapon to protect power against the marginalized. https://t.co/vE0XpFlk78 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Jews, LBGTs and other groups claiming marginalization don't need censorship to be "safe." The opposite is true. Censorship is a weapon wielded by the powerful *against marginalized groups. It's not used to protect them. That's why marginalized groups were always anti-censorship. https://t.co/045OoKRtsu — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NegDiscountRt @juliaioffe @NewYorker She's claiming free speech is a luxury and privilege that can be afforded only by born-rich, white, heterosexual, cis men like Elon Musk, but not deeply marginalized people like ... Julie Ioffe. Free speech in the 20th Century was a movement fought for by marginalized groups. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And what the fuck is this? Jews have faced grave and authentic persecution throughout history. The desperation to grab and claim some of that for yourself -- as a wealthy white MSNBC media maven - is grotesque. Twitter is not Auschwitz or the Inquisition: https://t.co/xFcWQHxV5M — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

How have wealthy white women like @JuliaIoffe - of Princeton and @NewYorker - convinced themselves they're marginalized and endangered? It's also offensive: she anoints herself spokeswoman for the groups that fought for free speech: leftist Jews, civil rights leaders, LGBTs etc. https://t.co/6BPQVbP1Z9 — PolitiTweet.org

@actualbenprice "Hi, my name is Ben Price, and I'm grateful when the CIA and most large media corporations in the United States unite to circulate an absolute lie and propagandize the public right before a national election. It's OK by me if they do it. No big deal. No need for them to retract." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Watch one lie after the next from liberal media corporations -- liberal pundits who always claim they need to censor the internet to stop disinformation when *they* are its most destructive purveyors of it. Not one of these scumbags acknowledged their lie https://t.co/5toc9VWneu — PolitiTweet.org

@SeanMaertens @josephcouture You and all the media outlets you worship united with CIA to spread an outright lie, because you wanted the CIA to help your party win the 2020 elections with disinformation. Those of us who knew it was a lie from the start were right, and no whining of yours can change that. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This was - and is - a gigantic scandal. The CIA, corporate media and Big Tech (including FB) all united *right before the election* to lie to the American public about information that reflected poorly on Joe Biden, and then brute censored it. @jack apologized. Nobody else has. https://t.co/eOElml70pB — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The former head of Twitter's content moderation (i.e. censorship) unit, @yoyoel, has a NYT op-ed praising himself for all the ways his censorship made the US healthier. He forgot to mention that he and Twitter *banned* links to reporting on the laptop based on this CIA lie. https://t.co/EG6AdkxhRL — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And one high-level Democratic official after the next -- including @jrpsaki and the Biden Campaign itself -- repeatedly said that the Biden laptop was "Russian disinformation." They all lied. This was a CIA lie. These are the people who want the power to censor the internet. https://t.co/jVEVH7lyWz — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Less than 2 weeks before Americans voted in the 2020 election, CNN put their normal army of US Security State operatives to spread the lie that the laptop was "Russian disinformation." CNN spread it all over their platforms. Not one retraction. Watch: https://t.co/X8P8FM47sC — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The @HuffPost didn't just spread the CIA lie that the laptop was "Russian disinformation." They produced a virtual Biden 2020 campaign video based on it. Watch it. 👇 How can anyone justify their lack of retraction given proof of its authenticity? https://t.co/AWqAknvm8E — PolitiTweet.org
