@danhalcyon Alex Jones has long been a frequent guest on Joe Rogan's program. Is Bill Kristol, Dick Cheney, and Joy Reid also on this list of do-not-engage-crazy who journalists must not interview? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@CaptKickstand Yes, remember when Joe Rogan convinced millions of Americans to support an invasion of Iraq by telling them Saddam Hussein had nuclear weapons, and then followed it up by telling them that the Kremlin had seized control of the US through blackmail power over the President? — PolitiTweet.org

@adamdavidson Your proclamation to ignore me didn't even last 24 hours. I didn't say you were censoring me. You lack that power, and all power. I said censorship and decrees of blacklisting are among the tools corporate journalists use to try desperately to regain their lost status. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KostjaMarschke @KungFuCommie I critique whoever wields influence and who I believe merits critique, especially when and if few others are voicing that critique. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@heen123 Maybe you should avoid judging and condemning interviews you haven't yet seen. Did you actually need me to explain this concept to you? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TiloJung You completely invented that. The event is the debut of a film about Jones by a filmmaker whose last film I found excellent. They asked me to attend to speak about the film and interview Jones. It's an interview, just like the ones you conduct of all sorts of people. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@heen123 I continue to be amazed by the number of liberals who think that journalists should not interview people disliked by liberals. When did people like you get trained to think this way? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The word "fringe" here is also telling. Corporate journalists regard Joe Rogan as "fringe" even though the audience which listens to and trusts him is roughly 10,000 greater than theirs. But they don't count since it's only ordinary people. Only DC journalists/politicians count. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KungFuCommie Media critiques and attacks on corporate journalists have been a central part of what I've done since I began writing, since I view corporate media as a powerful actor that merits scrutiny like all others. My doing this never precluded doing investigative journalism as well. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TiloJung So you give yourself license to interview bad people with influence but demand that no other journalists do that? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@adammpark @adamdavidson Who are the people journalists are and are not allowed to interview? Would it be OK if I interviewed Bill Kristol or Dick Cheney? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@amish_but @adamdavidson I was going to point out that a disproportionate percentage of corporate journalists who attack me are in this exact range of physical appearance but decided to omit it. But it is true, and seems uncoincidental. https://t.co/raEwHxBW9y — PolitiTweet.org

@gregwells3 I don't know if English is your first language, but I was pointing out that decrees of exclusion and censorship are among the tools corporate journalists use to try to eliminate those with more trust and influence than they so that they can reclaim their status. — PolitiTweet.org

@TiloJung Why did you interview a Ukrainian official who worships a Nazi? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@RickRosendall @adamdavidson @BGrueskin I was the featured speaker at numerous ACLU events, including its national convention, not just that one. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@qhardy @adamdavidson @Snowden Do you feel that someone may do that to you one day? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KungFuCommie I did this two years ago. Adam Davidson never has. https://t.co/U4x7xdujFU — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

What do obscure and unaccomplished failures like @adamdavidson fantasize will happen when they issue these decrees? The huge audience we have, that they never had, will hear it and think: "oh god, Adam Davidson said we shouldn't pay attention to him any more so we better stop?"😂 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The liberal wing of corporate media is collapsing: deservedly. Their audience is disappearing and nobody trusts them. The only sector of media that's growing is independent journalism. So look at this desperation: using censorship and decrees to demand they keep their status. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Liberal corporate journalists still have no clue how despised and therefore impotent they are. Even the ones with no journalistic accomplishments somehow believe they still wield the power to decree who should and shouldn't be listened to, and who must be blacklisted. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Chaz_Manadu How many examples do I need to show you of my calling out people on the right (who aren't "rhinos") for you to acknowledge your claim is false? — PolitiTweet.org

What makes it even funnier that AOC pretended to be handcuffed here: just last week she claimed she almost slapped her catcaller but then realized she "needed to catch a vote more than a case today" -- as if she were worried about adding to her notoriously long rap sheet:✊ — PolitiTweet.org

The case of NYC bodega worker Jose Alba -- a Dominican immigrant charged with murder after stabbing a customer who attacked him -- was covered almost entirely by conservative media, which relentlessly demanded the charges be dropped on self-defense grounds. Now they have been: — PolitiTweet.org

Really interesting NYT article on the extremely mixed feelings about abortion among Black Americans, and how this requires Dem Party leaders to radically change their tone and messaging when speaking about the issue to Black audiences: https://t.co/JTqFUFixkl — PolitiTweet.org

Many other world leaders have pointed that it's a bit difficult to take seriously lectures from the US and UK about press freedom while they are on their second decade of keeping one of the West's most consequential journalists, Julian Assange, in various forms of detention. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Systemic misogyny and sexism pervade the workplace at The @NewYorker, one of its staffers, an archive editor, lays out at great length. Women who object to it are then relentlessly punished by management for doing so. Quite a contrast with the public branding of the magazine: — PolitiTweet.org

@Pinkham_Artemis Journalists interview George Bush despite illegally invading and destroying Iraq and instituting a worldwide torture regime. They interview Assad, Putin, Bill Kristol, John Brennan and Charles Manson. The job of journalists is to examine and help understand, not propagandize. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Pinkham_Artemis That you think it's odd or disturbing for journalists to interview all sorts of influential people -- rather than confining themselves to people in good standing in left-liberal political circles -- says a great deal about left-liberal culture and nothing about me. — PolitiTweet.org
