@lemming_last @DavidManOnFire @StateDept @ABlinken I can help walk you through the exchange: David, a concerned patriot, stated I had failed to file legally required FARA forms regarding my work as a foreign agent, and asked if I had notified the US Govt of my failure. I responded that I had not, and asked him not to tell on me. — PolitiTweet.org

@cloudsplitter3 @JoeFreitag I would interview anyone of any significance or influence, including them. That's what a journalist does. It's why I've interviewed Evo Morales, AOC, Lula, Dilma, Ciro Gomes, Marina Silva, Chris Rufo, Chuck Todd, David Frum, a GITMO detainee, Noam Chomsky, Chris Hayes, etc. etc. — PolitiTweet.org

@ChiuauaTeardrop @evanbirnholz @js_thrill @nathanoseroff You're a liberal - just one of those kinds who likes DSA and so convinces yourself that you're not. https://t.co/fFiO77BfJh — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@js_thrill Liberalism is the dominant ideology in Washington, in media, in entertainment, in academia and many other influential sectors, so critiquing it is not only justifiable but necessary. The journalism I've done and its impact speaks for itself. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@darkerbrother52 Of course you can't. I have no ownership stake in the film, have no percentage investment in the event, and I don't make a penny more if the event if sold out or a penny less if nobody comes. The reason you can't explain your claim is because it's a lie. — PolitiTweet.org

@RealIvermectin I've been in the US 4 separate times in the last 3 months, including as recently as 48 hours ago. I'm a US citizen, grew up in the US, pay taxes to the US Govt, and am in the US constantly, so of course I'll comment on it. Otherwise, great point. https://t.co/Mx9TVqn0c1 — PolitiTweet.org

@KostjaMarschke @trishanderton No, I can't see anyone who decides to criticize an interview that has not yet happened, or condemn a film they have not yet seen, despite the thousands of people doing exactly this today. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KostjaMarschke @BrianSoundFurey @DropBetweenDime Since the interview has not yet happened, none of the criticisms is about the kind of interview I conducted. It's about the fact that I'm attending the event at all. The critics say this explicitly, and obviously nobody sane can critique an interview that has not yet happened. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@darkerbrother52 Yes, since you're very smart and insightful, explain to me how I financially benefit from promoting the event. How do I receive more or less money based on whether I publicize the film's debut? Explain that to me. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@js_thrill These kinds of bold critiques are easy to make - especially for someone hiding behind anonymity whose life can't be examined for the values they tout - but I'll compare my life and work to anyone's for the presence of those values. Tweet-insults are easy, especially anonymously. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@js_thrill The entire day's worth of anger is about the fact that I'm interviewing him, not the content of the interview, since the interview has not yet happened. If people are purporting to critique the interview itself rather than the fact of the interview, then that's even dumber. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@evanbirnholz @js_thrill @nathanoseroff That's a false description of my interview of Rufo. It provoked lively fighting in my comment section from many who thought I was too aggressive with him. Liberals think a confrontational interview means calling someone a fascist over and over. I think that's worthless and dumb. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@youcrazyforthis @js_thrill I'm not appearing on his program. I'm appearing at the debut of a documentary about him by a filmmaker I think is great, who produced a provocative and illuminating film about why, in the context of our political culture, his work found such resonance. I think it's interesting. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

When I say that there are many, many liberal pundits and "media critics" who believe the corporate media is excessively critical of Dems and insufficiently harsh on the GOP, they think I'm kidding. I know it's shocking, but many of them - probably most - really do believe this: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@HumanError @MrHandy97218513 People who claim to be socialists but who are nothing more than DNC loyalists, unconditionally voting Dem but with an ironic and irritated posture. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@js_thrill I knew when I said yes to this event that it would cause exactly this anger and upset. There was nothing requiring me to promote it. I did it precisely to illustrate how liberals think. The idea that bad people shouldn't be interviewed is moronic to me and I enjoy engaging it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@unsafemedicine @LuizPersechini @AWindwardMaroon I rarely use YouTube. I'm not a YouTuber. I do print journalism, and my Substack subscription numbers are public and peak for themself. My videos, on the rare occasions I do them, are hosted on Rumble, where the audience size is quite large. https://t.co/MfovEJ5HCB — PolitiTweet.org

@TigrinhaPND @calif_liberal Mas ser entrevistado no Jovem Pan é bom? https://t.co/xhYBlG8xa7 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Pegg_Finkle @NegDiscountRt How did I financially benefit from promoting the event on Twitter? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KostjaMarschke @BrianSoundFurey @DropBetweenDime Obviously, interviewing Charles Manson has the potential to spread his ideas and cause him to inspire others. The same is true of interviewing Dick Cheney, or Bill Kristol, of Assad, or Tony Blair. But nobody would have a problem because, again, establishment sentiment says OK. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KostjaMarschke @trishanderton The event is the debut of the documentary. I think the documentary, which you haven't seen, is great, just as I thought the director's last film, twf no gf, was. So when they asked if I'd speak at the debut, I said yes. I'm promoting and analyzing a film I think is very good. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@unsafemedicine @LuizPersechini @AWindwardMaroon I speak to and am read by more people now than ever. Unless you think that approval by Wolf Blitzer and Joe Scarborough are the key metrics for relevance - even though nobody watches their shows - my work has more reach than ever. As for "mocking": https://t.co/DOs8ld1frj — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KostjaMarschke @trishanderton Alex Jones already has a platform regardless of what I do, just like Tucker Carlson has one regardless of what I do. I think Alex Lee Moyers is a great filmmaker and the film is interesting and illuminating to me. That's my motive in deciding what to cover: is it interesting? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BrianSoundFurey @DropBetweenDime The metrics keep shifting. Now, it's OK to interview extremely evil people, as long as they have sufficient influence. I think Jones has sufficient influence. How about the journalists who interviewed Charles Manson? To me, the film is good and interesting. That's enough for me. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JoeMom20 @NathanJRobinson You insult people on the internet while cowardly hiding behind a fake screen name. Hard to get lower than that. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@fjordsfjords @NathanJRobinson I just knew so many -- including those who fancy themselves free-thinking radicals -- are captive to institutional decree. I find the film interesting so I said yes. These people would have no problem if I interviewed Cheney, Brennan, etc. because the establishment accepts them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Regan_Smart @Condor56999467 He's certainly more of one than you, as evidenced by all the Good, Establishment mavens who believe he is on the list of untouchables to interview even while it's fine to interview Dick Cheney, Bill Kristol, John Brennan and a long line of monsters with establishment approval. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Pegg_Finkle @NegDiscountRt That's because I think it's a very good movie, a movie I have seen and you have not. Alex Jones didn't make the film. He's the subject of it. And you have no idea if it praises him, criticizes him, or does anything else. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@lourockqat Not only are you an establishment liberal, but you go around the internet spewing smears of people's character while cowardly hiding behind anonymity. It's hard for me to imagine anything that would have less of an impact on my choices than a person like you. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BrianSoundFurey @DropBetweenDime Exactly: you think that it would be fine for me to interview Bush, but not Alex Jones, even though Bush has done far more damage in the world than Jones. But Bush has establishment approval, and Jones doesn't, and that's what dictates your thinking. It's not what dictates mine. — PolitiTweet.org
