@patrickbec @thekinkydevil The reason he had to resort to fabricated quotes, and then refused your simple request to provide links to where I said any of that, is because he's obviously lying about my views. I believe none of what he claimed I believe and that's why he used those tactics. — PolitiTweet.org

@schaffer3999 74 million Americans voted for Trump to be re-elected in 2020; he leads all polls to be the GOP nominee in 2024, tied with Biden to win. Fox is the most-watched cable network by far. That you believe hatred for them is "universal" shows how myopic and warped is your worldview. — PolitiTweet.org

@Stevenwoolery I agree. The CIA was skeptical from the start. I think the State Dept was, too, but felt a need to protect and at least respect their diplomats' earnest belief they were sick. The leaks to NBC weren't from CIA as an institution but individuals who saw the Russia/Trump opportunity — PolitiTweet.org

This is why I say I believe they deserve and have earned the distrust and contempt that so many Americans have for them. If you constantly get caught spreading lies but never acknowledge let alone retract it, it means it's deliberate, that lying is your job. Contempt is merited. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I understand they have no career pressure to admit they spread disinformation. I know their media corporations reward it. I mean on a personal level. Doesn't it bother them at all? They know they repeatedly spread lies that are now debunked, yet they just never acknowledge it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Maybe this is a naive but it's what I always wonder. They read this week's reports that the Havana Syndrome is fake and the "lab leak" theory viable. They know they spent years telling their audience the opposite. Why doesn't that bother them? How do they justify ignoring it? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

We just showed this NBC clip on our program. I can't get over it. Please watch it. These people analyzed the scientific and geopolitical implications of a fabricated tale the CIA gave them. These are the ones who get invited to "disinformation panels" in Aspen and Davos: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The WPost's DNC loyalist disguised as a "fact-checker" issued this pompous lecture on how it's scientifically impossible for COVID to have come from a lab leak, only to now have to read in his paper that some of the USG's most elite scientific teams believe that's what happened. — PolitiTweet.org

@jimbobway63 I've talked about it at least ten times, in multiple venues, including on my show *just last night*. But because people like you have no capacity of critical thought, all that's required for you to say and believe something is that you hear someone asserting it on the internet. https://t.co/lY6fe52OCi — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Plus, the usual roster of disinformation agents at NBC News and CNN get caught yet again spending years pushing a laughably melodramatic yet potentially dangerous tale about how Russia developed a super-advanced weapon to harm Americans' brains: https://t.co/mRd5qXNlYT — PolitiTweet.org

Starting LIVE in 4 minutes... We'll examine how and why the most fanatical neocons have formed a full-scale alliance with the Dem Party, one formed well before Trump. It is based in the neocons' (correct) perception that the Dem Party is for more hospitable to their agenda: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

We'll also review the latest corporate media debacle. They now come so fast and so often it's almost impossible to keep track: how they melodramatically and shrilly pushed "the Havana Syndrome," only for even the USG to admit it was baseless all along. We'll name all the names: https://t.co/FLGJGZAhJI — PolitiTweet.org

@JohnOtto69 @vanguard_pod @davidpakmanshow Can you please answer the question I first asked you, and then I will be happy to explain why the comment you just made it incredibly stupid and false in equal parts? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I love when the NYT makes a flamboyant showing of hiring conservatives like David French to prove it allows ideological diversity, then he devotes his columns to: 1) Trump is evil. 2) Fox is evil. 3) Biden is great for supporting Ukraine.

@wesyang Of course not. I'm just applying liberal-left standards for racism accusations - to the extent any cogency can be located at all - and noting that the "wet market" theory they embraced scored more racism points than the "lab leak" theory they rejected as racist. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This brilliant and hilarious passage written about @OwenJones84 applies at least equally to @GeorgeMonbiot. Most countries have a well-rewarded leftist who eagerly serves this role for establishment power: https://t.co/XACnJGjqgA — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

US corporate media spent 18 months insisting COVID's zoonotic origins had been proven and the lab leak theory had been "debunked" - to the point it was banned online. Turns out some some of USG's top science teams concluded "lab leak" is not just viable but most likely. Anyway. — PolitiTweet.org

Left-liberal students typically protest the appointment of people with a long history of advocating authoritarian policies and wars, but I have a strong feeling they'll make an exception for Mother Jones' 2022 Hero of the Year: https://t.co/V59V4qvaZ3 — PolitiTweet.org

You can devote your life to defending worldwide torture regimes, CIA black sites, the invasion and bombing of countless countries, due-process-free prisons, and malign DOJ lawyers as Al Qaeda lovers, but as long you say denounce Donald Trump, the world is yours: — PolitiTweet.org

@vanguard_pod Those quotes aren't remotely "kooky." They're reflective of someone engaging the vast mysteries of life via spirituality and transcendence. But to utterly conventional midwits serving as Normalcy Enforcers - @davidpakmanshow - anything beyond NYT op-ed page dreck seems "crazy." — PolitiTweet.org
