@KostjaMarschke @trishanderton So it's OK to interview horrible people who have done even more horrible things than Alex Jones? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@trishanderton Exactly. All of those people have done far more damage than Jones. But because they all have establishment credibility, you think it's acceptable to interview them. Your views are dictated to you by institutions of authority. You're the last kind of person I'm willing to appease. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JohnDMacCallum He has a platform already. Millions listen to him. And there was a documentary made about him, by a very skillful and talented filmmaker. Examining why that is true is infinitely more interesting to me than people like you. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ideasbychuck Have you seen the documentary yet? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@calif_liberal I was today invited to appear on her show for tomorrow or Wednesday night. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@The_Real_Veon How do you know what kind of interview it is when it has not yet happened? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@mc_fadzen Among who specifically have I lost my credibility? Because all the metrics I see suggest the opposite. Everyone thinks that those who think like them and their friend constitute the full scope of the universe. There are huge numbers who do not think like you. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@wjmaggos @joinpeertube The platform was chosen by the filmmakers. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@trishanderton Would it be OK for a journalist to interview John Brennan, Dick Cheney, the CNN hosts who spread Russiagate conspiracy theories, Vladimir Putin, Tony Blair, or David Frum? All of those would be OK, right? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@DropBetweenDime Would it be OK if I interviewed George Bush despite his invasion of Iraq, his torture regime, and his kidnapping program, or Barack Obama despite his slaughter of innocent people with drones, destruction of Libya, and protection of bankers who caused the financial crisis? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JoeFreitag The reason there's so little support for Julian Assange is people because are afraid to have anything to do with anyone establishment figures deem to be gross and crazy. These people would be fine if I interviewed David Frum, Dick Cheney, Kamala Harris or especially Liz Cheney. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@lourockqat Journalists interview people. Alex Jones has been interviewed by NBC News, the BBC, Joe Rogan, and countless other major news outlets around the world. There will never be a day when I refuse to do things or speak to people believe liberals dislike them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ownerslament Liberals get very upset if journalists interview people on the forbidden list of liberals, which is basically all non-liberals. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@CommodoreBalzac This one. https://t.co/EYqIe8LqNP — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JoeFreitag Not one person angry I'm interviewing Alex Jones about this new film would be angry if I interviewed Dick Cheney, Tony Blair, Robert Mueller, Kamala Harris, John Brennan or anyone else with establishment credentials who have done much worse. It's all just about dreary conformity. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KingKazma711 Bernie Sanders went on Joe Rogan's show. By your reasoning, this now means that Bernie supports and is responsible for all of Rogan's past statements and actions, and that he's "cool" with all the guests Rogan has had on (including Alex Jones). Now do you see your stupidity? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JamesHinnigan "Left-liberal" is the term I use for the very substantial areas in which establishment liberals and the left converge, such as whether to vote for Biden/Dems, on most social issues (abortion/trans/guns), on the need for Big Tech censorship, on supporting Ukraine, race issues, etc — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NegDiscountRt Did you know I didn't create Alex Jones, am not the cause of his success and influence, and that a journalist doesn't become responsible for someone's worst acts by interviewing them about a film? Unless you think Wolf Blitzer is guilty of torture and war by interviewing Cheney? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@mhewlettWSJ Yes, the film deals extensively with that. The trailer I posted above includes parts of it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Condor56999467 I think the question of why - for better or worse -- some people end up as dissidents, why they feel alienated from convention, why some find an audience and resonate with people, are complex and interesting questions, not cheap or easy ones. And I think this filmmaker is great. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NathanJRobinson I just mean "objective" as an aspiration, to distinguish it from a film that deliberately sets out to impose a subjective value judgment as its primary function. It's the difference between "why does violent crime happen?" v. "Let's start executing all violent criminals." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@maggieogs @MsMet5 You're just a fan of NeverTrump Republicans and the most deranged hard-core #Resistance Democratic partisans. I don't blame you for hating me and thinking I'm insane. I would feel that way if I were you, too. https://t.co/1X8nURPmZh — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MsMet5 So Alex Jones is too evil to interview but George W. Bush isn't? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@unsafemedicine @LuizPersechini @AWindwardMaroon Yes, that's what I was trying to tell you, but you're the one who mocked podcasts and YouTube shows as irrelevant even though many of them have larger audiences than corporate cable programs. That's the only reason I didn't include them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@florida_sophia @proud_damascene @Bataillon201 You lied about and smeared Aaron Mate, all while impotently demanding that he not be interviewed. I think you're in no position to demand anything of anyone. And to be clear: it was your friend who accused me of misogyny, merely for pointing out your lies. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@unsafemedicine @LuizPersechini @AWindwardMaroon LOL. Aside from your constant appearances on the most-watched show on television, aside from the most-listened to podcast in the country, aside from your op-eds in Brazil's largest paper from last month, aside from your own books and most-read articles, it's nothing! — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@unsafemedicine @LuizPersechini @AWindwardMaroon My op-ed in Brazil's largest paper: https://t.co/VdScwdUNxc Regular column in one of its oldest newsweekly magazines: https://t.co/1nBOxHXMe7 Appearance on largest US podcast: https://t.co/4DduuDPNDH Op-ed in NYT: https://t.co/divqWKnN5p My 6th book: https://t.co/Y4ktr6QJv3 — PolitiTweet.org

@humor_boomer @kylefresh @maxiheadr00m If I did, you wouldn't know what to do with yourself. https://t.co/hqhdOVpqpq — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@kylefresh @maxiheadr00m Would you like to create a monetary bet with an agreed-to system for fairly arbitrating whether you're right about this? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@aaron_renn Absolutely hilarious that you think it's independence rather than the corporate structure that rewards/demands sensationalism. Corporate media put Trump on TV constantly because of ratings. Joe Rogan repeatedly refused Trump's requests to go on. You have it backward. — PolitiTweet.org
