Dem partisans absolutely love and adore members of marginalized groups...if and only if they fulfill their overarching duty and purpose in life of pledging unconditional loyalty to their Party. But if they refuse, the attacks are invariably shaped by the ugliest age-old tropes. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's impossible to overstate the intensity of racism and other forms of bigotries Democratic Party loyalists harbor toward members of the marginalized groups which they believe they own but who fail to properly submit. The ugly vitriol that exploded here is common: — PolitiTweet.org

@AubreyBelford @thor_benson @ZackKopplin Obviously I'm no Aubrey Belford -- who among us can match your record of towering journalistic bravery and pioneering work? -- but I still feel like I've done a few things in my career worthy of note. Not really fair to hold others to your high bar before being deemed credible. — PolitiTweet.org

"Advisers to the U.S. Homeland Security Department said there was no need for the Disinformation Governance Board created by President Joe Biden's administration earlier this year." Clearly. But many indications are it's just been shifted elsewhere: https://t.co/vg42oBo3Lw — PolitiTweet.org

@KevinMcNamee9 @thor_benson @ZackKopplin I realize liberals see gay men as pedophiles, predators and groomers, but you're maligning my long-term marriage to my husband, a 37-year-old Congressman who has made quite clear what he thinks of bigoted Westerners like you who depict him as a dumb, manipulated sex toy and dupe. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@AubreyBelford @thor_benson @ZackKopplin Journalists interview not just good liberals but also bad people and everyone in between. Jones has been interviewed by NBC News, the BBC and countless large global news outlets. If you don't comprehend this about journalism, you probably shouldn't expect much from your work. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ZackKopplin @thor_benson I wrote two books on the methods we used to verify the archives of two of the most important stories in modern western journalism: the Snowden and Brazil exposés. I can't really tutor you on Twitter but if you buy those books, the lessons are in there. Will be happy to sign them. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden is so widely and intensely unpopular that even his handling of Ukraine -- long an issue that united large majorities of Americans -- is now disapproved of by a majority of Americans (46% approve, 52% disapprove). Kamala's approval rating down to 32% (!). — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

"Among people of color, 45% now approve of Biden's overall performance, down from 54% in the spring. That decline includes a 6-point dip among Black adults and a 9-point decline among Hispanic adults." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@thor_benson @ZackKopplin That's why I had you blocked. I just unblocked you because I saw you uniting in petty personal jealousies with that other envious zero, and don't believe in speaking ill of someone from behind a block. You'll be returned to the invisibility to which you're well-accustomed shortly — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@thor_benson @ZackKopplin Not just jealous: also cowardly, inconsequential and bereft of journalistic accomplishments. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@thor_benson @ZackKopplin The reason so many corporate journalists want to see Julian Assange in prison is because his existence shames them with his courage and accomplishments they could never hope to get near - same reason you two are united, stewing in such petty jealousy: https://t.co/mxyzrVqlRb — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Kardeshev1 @scottjblair @FerdinandGriff4 The world's stupidest fucking people can't comprehend that interviewing someone doesn't signify one agrees with anything let alone everything they've done. This is what corporate media has done to people: dissent-free TV makes their dumb consumers think this is what journalism is — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JoeandBullish What "costs" are you there for you to sit in the US and attack leaders of foreign countries far away from you, instead of attacking the leaders of your own countries as I have done? Nothing is cheaper, or more worthless, than what you're doing. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@PetStuff4 You're a banal Democrat who created this new account 8 weeks ago strictly to attacks critics of Democrats and Biden. You think I take orders about who I can and can't interview from people like you? https://t.co/4ZP47AlDKB — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@scottjblair @FerdinandGriff4 LOL. Why pretend? Your whole timeline is just standard liberalism, filled with angry replies to me for being mean to Democrats and Biden. You didn't just wake up today and decide: OK, interviewing Alex Jones: respect lost. And even if you had, who cares? https://t.co/2FQNXRaeTU — PolitiTweet.org

RT @axios: Just 2 years after calls to defund the police erupted in the wake of George Floyd's murder, Democrats in states like Ohio, Georg… — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The problem for CNN and MSNBC is they've conditioned their liberal audience not to tolerate criticisms of Dems. Ask them: on the rare occasion they do it, they see the audience disappear in real time. Biden is boring, so fixating on Trump becomes their only choice. https://t.co/tSaQf0gztO — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One reason a free media is necessary, at least in theory, is that it serves as an oppositional force, an adversarial check, to the current government. But it's rather difficult to serve that function when most media outlets fixate almost entirely on the prior president: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@StevenJCBuckley Let me guess: If I were to interview George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Tony Blair, Bill Kristol, David Frum, Robert Mueller, John Brennan, Leon Panetta, Samantha Power, David Cameron -- all of whom have done far more damage in the world than Jones -- you'd be fine with it, right? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ZackKopplin @CommodoreBalzac If you dealt with this fixation you have on me -- analyzing my Twitter activity, monitoring my replies, using therapy or medication or some combo -- and instead focused on your own work, it's possible you could compile some accomplishments of your own like those listed there. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@StevenJCBuckley Maybe you could wait until you see the documentary before spending so much time denouncing and condemning the documentary? All the people attacking me today for attending the debut of a documentary are people who haven't seen the film. That's the American liberal for you. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@StevenJCBuckley Yes, Jones has been interviewed by the BBC, by NBC News, by countless major media corporations all over the world. Journalists don't just interview the good and nice people. I write about and interview things and people I find interesting, not just ones that make liberals happy. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@StevenJCBuckley I think the film, which you haven't seen, is excellent, made by a the same director who made the excellent "tfw no gf," and you have no idea what the film says or shows about Jones. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The Pulitzers exist to elevate and ennoble corporate journalism (with some prizes reserved for genuinely deserving local reporting). Of course they were going to reaffirm these awards: rescinding them would be tantamount to liberal heresy, regardless of what the evidence proved. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

That Trump was controlled by the Kremlin became a religious-like conspiracy theory for elite liberalism. No facts could shake it: not Mueller charging *nobody* of that crime nor Trump repeatedly attacking vital Russian interests (eg, arming Ukraine, subverting Nord Stream 2). — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@js_thrill My life is a rather vivid testament to the values I believe in, which is why it's impossible for nameless partisans like you to alter or affect that. I've always enjoyed debates and political disputes, and I do it when I have time, but character is determined by life actions. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ownsabicycle @darkerbrother52 Let's see...media outlets pay me to report on events and publish articles; publishing houses pay me to write books about political events; large numbers of journalism awards have been issued in my name; governments have tried to prosecute me for my reporting. Sounds like it fits. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@darkerbrother52 My work at the event isn't "unpaid." I'm a professional journalist, so I'm being paid to host the debut of the film and conduct the interviews associated with it. But my pay doesn't in any way depend on how many people do or don't attend the event or see the film. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@js_thrill I've always engaged random and nameless critics of my work online, from the time I first started writing about politics in 2005. It's how I built a community of readers; I periodically enjoy doing it; and I've been stuck in a car and banks most of the day, creating ample time. — PolitiTweet.org
