So many who work for media outlets and universities who declare themselves media ethics specialists -- @brianstelter, @jayrosen_nyu, @GlennKesslerWP, etc. Do you have anything to say when *not one media outlet* that spread CIA pre-election lie about the laptop has retracted it? https://t.co/2ALaHiGmiC — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@josephcouture By far the best and most convincing evidence of authentication is when third parties who received the materials in real time show you that what they got matches what's in the archive word for word. That happened with the NSA files, with WikiLeaks leaks, and with this laptop. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

If you don't care that the CIA laundered a blatant lie through their most loyal media servants -- starting with POLITICO's @NatashaBertrand -- all to interfere in and manipulate the outcome of the 2020 election, then it means you are an authoritarian and love "disinformation": https://t.co/9gSgyBFUy5 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I don't care about Hunter Biden. This mattered because it revealed a lot about ***Joe Biden's**** activities in China and Ukraine. And now it matters most because the media outlets that all lied refuse to retract this lie. They lie as their mission:👇 https://t.co/HR7K5bTKmA — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The reason I knew the laptop was real was because conservative outlets produced conclusive evidence that it was, and it had all the hallmarks that we used to authenticate other large laptops: WikiLeaks, Snowden, Brazil. Here are all those who lied:👇👇 https://t.co/xLPXT8kUvx — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

A vital reminder: the media outlets that always tell you they fight "disinformation" united right before the 2020 election to spread an absolute lie: this laptop was "Russian disinformation." I knew it was a lie right away and staked my career on it. They lied *on purpose*. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@dperezdesign @CabaiPanas Let's put it this way: all the available evidence militates against its being true, and there is literally no evidence that it is true. Everything is possible, but all we can do if we want to be rational is use our rational faculties and base our views on evidence. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@dperezdesign @CabaiPanas All of the evidence together proves it. He spent the week scoping out Disney sites and straight bars. He was there for hours and never made one anti-LGBT comment, only talked about his motive of US bombings, etc. Reporters who covered the trial (including me) left with no doubt. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@eisenbae You have no idea what you're talking about. You didn't cover Noor Salman's trial. I'll bet you don't know who she is. But even liberal reporters writing for liberal outlets who covered it made clear there's no doubt anti-LGBT hatred wasn't the motive: https://t.co/vF8oX3Dhty — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@dperezdesign @CabaiPanas I just posted multiple articles from various journalists who explain in detail the evidence that proves beyond any doubt that Mateen didn't choose PULSE because it was a gay club. He didn't know it was. Here. What else can be shown to you? https://t.co/vF8oX3Dhty — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Jordon_Carlton @dperezdesign Why do people like you who know absolutely nothing about a topic insist on opining? Every reporter who covered the trial and acquittal of Omar Mateen's wife knows there's no question he had no idea it was a gay club and it wasn't part of the motive. https://t.co/vF8oX3Dhty — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Of course it's possible - very possible - that the attacker was motived by hatred of LGBTs. It's very possible he was mentally unwell, as many of these killers are - including ones who claim a cause. The corpses aren't even removed yet. Just wait a bit to learn the basic facts. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And in general, accusing people of blood on their hands - a very heavy claim - because their political view was claimed by a killer is grotesque. People did that with Islam and Muslim killers. They did it with socialism and the deranged person who shot Steve Scalise. It's tawdry. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's not that hard to just wait a few hours or days to learn the motive. Then go wild exploiting it for your causes. The PULSE attacker had no interest in choosing a gay bar. All evidence showed that. But it played on stereotypes about Muslims and helped LGBT groups raise money. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

We know for sure the Colorado Springs massacre is a wretched tragedy: slaughter of innocent people always is. We know there is substantial anti-LGBT animus. But respect for facts still matters, and to this day, most people believe a total lie about PULSE: https://t.co/QxT18SvV2I — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The refusal to wait until basic facts are known in these horrific cases -- due to eagerness to exploit the dead for political causes -- is not just unseemly but reckless. It's what lead huge numbers to believe - falsely - that the PULSE massacre was driven by anti-gay animus: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@GeraldNellson @wu_lmao @SandersMayotte Of course I defend Rumble: they're devoted to a value (free speech) and a cause (preservation of free speech platforms not dictated by corporate media) which I support. That you can't conceive of supporting a cause without a monetary stake in it says a lot about you, not me. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ryangrim 1) Grants don't just show up. As Hodge admitted, the talks were ongoing since the beginning of the year. The August articles should have disclosed it. 2) It's on Hodge: he's the EIC and, more importantly, publicly (and falsely) claimed this was disclosed when TI reported on SBF. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@wu_lmao @RogerDHodge Most journalists don't disclose their salaries. How much does Maggie Haberman make at the NYT? How much does Chris Hayes make at MSNBC? I'm a professional journalist so of course I'm paid when I produce journalism for a site, but I have no stake or ownership interest in Rumble. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@wu_lmao @SandersMayotte @RogerDHodge I don't have a stake in Rumble, only the contract I have with them - like i have with all outlets and platforms - where they pay me to produce journalism for their site. Look how dumb you are: you're complaining I don't disclose my "stake" in Rumble when I have no stake in it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@wu_lmao @RogerDHodge That I have a show on Rumble is something that has been publicly reported and major news outlets and I promote it and discuss it myself *constantly*. My last article on Substack is about this new program. You think it's hidden? LOL https://t.co/m7puWP3CqG — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@f_f8008f_f How did Pierre Omidyar own the NSA leaks for himself when Laura Poitras and I both had full copies of our own; the NYT, WashPost, the Guardian and der Spiegel all had their own copies of vast parts of the archive; and journalists from all over the world had full access to it? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@wu_lmao @RogerDHodge Yes, always. My original blog was funded by reader donations. The funding at Salon and the Guardian are publicly reported. Omidyar's financing of the Intercept was publicly disclosed. My Substack income is from my readers and publicly disclosed. Rumble is a public company. So yes — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Anyway, I'm glad people like Hodge who are stewing in resentment and contempt for me yet never expressed it until I left - to the point they block me so they don't have to hear critiques - have been able to support themselves by clinging to a now-collapsing outlet I co-founded.👍 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

LOL - I guess someone else is going to have to press Hodge and TI for answers now. Like most of the senior NYC-based editors who took it over, degraded it and ran it into the ground, Hodge had no role in The Intercept's founding and believes in none of its founding values. https://t.co/WDCaLWIbW4 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Maybe there is some place that the Intercept mentioned this extremely deep and intricate relationship between it and Bankman-Fried and FTX -- I can't find it -- but either way, Hodge clearly lied, given how many articles reported on SBF/FTX's donations without mentioning this. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And here's an Intercept article from November 11 -- just 9 days ago, after which SBF's and FTX's serious improprieties were known -- that also makes no mention of the deep donor relationship between them and the Intercept. https://t.co/BsdsPFntIY https://t.co/IAZwTSlttv — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here's another Intercept article on SBF's extensive spending from mid-August - by which point the grant had been extensively discussed if not fully finalized - that also makes zero mention of the extensive relationship between Tthe Intercept and SBF/FTX: https://t.co/ENZfrnROyB https://t.co/NYhdlPZPIb — PolitiTweet.org
