@Puppypappy1 @triviapaul @sakitechonline @cenkuygur She was never my source for anything either. I had nothing to do with that story - I was opposed to it from the start -- and thus never touched it, as even the Intercept readily acknowledges. — PolitiTweet.org

@Puppypappy1 @triviapaul @sakitechonline @cenkuygur What the fuck are you talking about? I broke the story in 2010 of the abusive prison conditions Obama imposed on Chelsea Manning, which caused a senior Obama aide to resign in protest and the UN to condemn it. She was never my source for anything. https://t.co/LGQOk91Pup — PolitiTweet.org

The US military budget was already more than three times more than the next-largest spender (China), more than the next 12 countries combined. Just randomly toss another $45 billion onto the pile. The excuses: inflation and Ukraine. What about the living standard of Americans? — PolitiTweet.org

@sakitechonline @cenkuygur I regard Chomsky's opinion on that question as somewhat more relevant than yours. Listen, from 2020.👇 He's said the same many times over the years, in the many times we've spent together and publicly, even when we've had our differences. What does he think about your work? https://t.co/IgNp4TXcKR — PolitiTweet.org

@TheMigh10299553 I don't think it's true of most professions, but even if it were true, some professions require and rely on public trust much more than others, and journalism is one the ones that needs it most. Without public trust and faith, effective journalism is essentially impossible. — PolitiTweet.org

@childlikerobot The snotty condescension from liberals like you and the undisguised belief in your superiority as demonstrated in this tweet is a major reason the public has come to (validly) despise and distrust corporate journalism. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

American journalists have a much, much, much higher regard for themselves, their work, and their trustworthiness than the American public has about them. — PolitiTweet.org

@E_Mano_EL You are right: it's a travesty to speak of Bruno and his work in such minimizing terms. But those aren't very good outlets. Most Western outlets I've seen -- led by the Guardian, which has done great work on this case as one would expect -- make clear what Bruno's work was. — PolitiTweet.org

@twittlosopher Yes, of course Murdoch is: just like Pierre Omidyar is an oligarch yet funds the Intercept where numerous people popular among the US left work, or George Soros, who funds all sorts of NGOs beloved by the liberal-left. — PolitiTweet.org

@Condor56999467 @jimmy_dore There are multiple false or deceitful statements in what you just said, but they don't matter to my question, since Dore didn't say anything about Tucker. My question thus remains: Which points specifically made by Dore about the two parties do you disagree with? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Condor56999467 @jimmy_dore Which points made by Dore about the two parties do you disagree with specifically? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Note that, on multiple occasions, Dore emphasizes it's the establishment wings of both the Dem Party (Schumer/Pelosi) and GOP (McConnell/McCarthy) who are in servitude to oligarchs and the corporate class, and Carlson repeatedly nods in agreement: a frequent point on that show.☝️ — PolitiTweet.org

@BenSpielberg Including extreme support for the Saudi tyrants as they destroyed Yemen and crushed the most minimal civic freedoms in their country -- something which, when Trump did it, we heard was a reversal of core US values that generations have long cherished. https://t.co/qjFwTZhMKp — PolitiTweet.org

@botReynolds @BernieSanders Got it. I mean he's right that for a long time, Dems were losing white working class voters but still clinging onto non-white working class voters. He's trying to warn that this has changed: Dems are now losing all of them. It's hard to find another way to express this. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The best segment on Carlson's show last night was not mine above, but this one from @jimmy_dore on how Dems continue to blame Russia (and anyone else they can find) for all their failures. I heard it in my earpiece waiting, and it's even better to watch: https://t.co/zRiJrjzFs8 — PolitiTweet.org

@Lorien19731 @MayraFlores2022 I was told beforehand that they were running a bit late and the segment would have to be shorter and more rushed than usual -- it happens with live TV -- so I was consciously trying to be as concise as possible, which is very hard with complex points in less than 3 minutes. — PolitiTweet.org

@botReynolds @BernieSanders I quoted Bernie's article. Take it up with him if you dislike the formulation. — PolitiTweet.org

Dem-loyal media elites cannot reconcile this indisputable trend - people of color migrating to GOP - with their foundational view that GOP is a party of "white nationalism"... EXCEPT by arguing these non-white voters are too dumb to see clearly, which is 100% what they believe. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Vital point from @BernieSanders about why the Dem Party is failing: Democrats, "over the years, [have] been hemorrhaging support from the white working class, it is now losing support from Latino, Black and Asian workers as well." https://t.co/9z1UDPRVUK — PolitiTweet.org

@Jamie_Maz I'm not delving into this complex topic on Twitter -- where valid concerns about what young children are taught/indoctrinated in public schools (both right and left dogma) morph into hate campaigns -- but I did discuss that here (second half): https://t.co/TqyrylpsVp — PolitiTweet.org

Not a single person who knew Dom had a bad word to say: he was unfailingly kind and generous, with a deep love for Brazil. I didn't personally know Bruno but his work in the Amazon was extraordinary and brave. Official GoFundMe to assist their families: https://t.co/MW60kztvLs — PolitiTweet.org
