@RoibearddeUna I was wary for that reason, too, but was pleasantly surprised that, with the exception of a few minutes at the end - quite minimal - they resisted the temptation to exploit Carlin to push their own political views on modern-day political controversies. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@LouieandGus Exactly: there were a few minutes at the very end where the directors commandeered Carlin's words in service of their own political agenda on current-day controversies, but it was minimal: way less than I expected and way less than is customary for art or journalism now. — PolitiTweet.org

@TanaGaneva Because one has an obligation to one's newsroom colleagues who work at the same place you work to resolve differences privately, not elevating workplace disagreements to public controversy. Once you leave, they become like any other media outlet: fair game for public critique. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Fscottdlg You have no examples, just vacant assertions. That's because I've faced real persecution for my journalism - the last time a 126-felony count from the Brazilian Govt for my reporting in 2020 - so I know the difference between that and mean tweets from random Twitter critics. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TanaGaneva For all the time I was at the Intercept (and Salon & the Guardian before that), I never attacked or criticized any colleagues publicly. I voiced any dissatisfaction I had directly to them, which is what mature people do. I criticized senior editors publicly only after I left. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

A gigantic amount of the time and energy of privileged employees at the largest and most powerful media corporations is devoted to concocting melodramatic, self-absorbed narratives where they cast themselves as marginalized victim, while real journalists confront real persecution https://t.co/sF4ESypcMR — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Post reporters are some of the planet's most privileged people. But since victimhood is cultural Gold in their twisted world, and they never face real persecution, they have to elevate mean tweets to a national scandal so they can always demand that your pity be lavished on them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

So typical: WP reporter @feliciasonmez is now on her 3rd straight day of publicly bashing her own colleagues. She pressured the Post to publicly malign @daveweigel as "reprehensible", forced him to repeatedly apologize, now is attacking another WP reporter for politely objecting. https://t.co/m1LCmaIaBH — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I highly recommend the new HBO documentary about George Carlin, a deeply complex and influential figure. The politics of the film's directors are not mine but they did a commendable job of largely letting Carlin speak for himself without commandeering him. Well worth watching. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@timgill924 I know what Julian and Stella think of the work I've done on Julian's case and that matters to me infinitely more than a pathetic academic loser like you who has been trying for months to beg for my attention to find purpose and relevance. You are empty and pointless in all ways — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@timgill924 @sk_el_eton I spent years doing everything possible, both publicly and privately, to agitate and advocate for his pardon and came very close to achieving it, while pointless losers like you whined about my use of Fox for it. You're a completely irrelevant academic and this is all projection. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Assange has broken more vital, historic stories than all his media-critics combined. That's why they hate him and why he's in prison: because he's a real journalist who challenges, not serves, establishment power. The US/UK have no press freedom credibility until he's released — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One of this century's most influential, pioneering and important Western journalists, Julian Assange, is now in his fourth year of imprisonment in a high-security UK prison because the US and UK want to imprison him for life on espionage charges under a repressive 1917 law. https://t.co/Dumz6qQoVQ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The lengthy, multiple-pronged Washington Post correction on Lorenz's story itself still contains a major lie:👇👇 https://t.co/EFRwaX7vr0 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@espiers So you believe that Taylor Lorenz and the Washington Post are lying when they admitted that Taylor never attempted to contact either of these two people prior to publication as the article originally claimed? Actual LOL. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Lorenz is one of the most inept, reckless and unethical reporters ever at a major paper. But this framework prevails: criticizing her means you're a misogynistic bully; defending her is how liberal male journalists prove they're Good Allies™. So her reign of terror thrives. https://t.co/UM0XpO2Szd — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

WPost has now been caught publishing multiple lies as part of the Lorenz article. I don't mean reckless errors: there were many. I mean blatant lies. But because Lorenz is a symbol of media liberalism, reporters will rank-close to defend her, then wonder why nobody trusts them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@espiers You seem to believe Taylor Lorenz produced proof that these people were lying when they said she never contacted them. The opposite is true: they proved she never contacted them beforehand; Taylor admits it; and the WPost admitted it in a lengthy correction. Otherwise, good job! https://t.co/KzclJpAyPr — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JesseLaGreca You believe -- and barely try to disguise -- that African-Americans and Muslims are too blind, dumb and easily duped, and thus need guidance and teaching from this enlightened douchebag in order to understand what's best for them. And they know people like you think this. https://t.co/neSRmW1zyO — PolitiTweet.org

@edonomics If I ever remotely considered embracing theories of white supremacy, as you allege, all I'd have to do is look at this and be instantly disabused of that belief: https://t.co/0cnTRyIivj — PolitiTweet.org

@leftistlitwick You don't read very well. I just pointed out the facts here. I didn't say or imply that I believe this is a good thing. The "positive aspects" part is only in your head. — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump-endorsed Mehmet Oz just became the first-ever American Muslim to be a US Senate nominee from either party. That's part of what the NYT says is a broad GOP strategy of successfully recruiting a very racially diverse range of new candidates: https://t.co/MkO7T9I7Wj — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@nerminbiscevic I appear frequently on many large left-wing podcasts and YouTube shows, other programs with an audience size far larger than liberal cable shows (such as Joe Rogan and Russell Brand's shows, etc.). It's not my fault that CNN and MSNBC banned all dissent starting with Russiagate. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Taylor Lorenz got caught red-handed lying in her article. Not just reckless errors - misquoting people, baseless claims about creators' earnings -- but lying by saying she reached out for comment to someone she never contacted. What will it say if the WP does nothing about this? https://t.co/5fVM7gQ56n — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

On the weekly @GetCallin podcast I co-host with Q Anthony of @RZNWAMedia, we delved deeply into the latest Ukraine developments and the disappearance of the US "anti-war left." We also extensively discussed/debated the latest calls for more gun control: https://t.co/MEyIEjRIhz — PolitiTweet.org

@Tendar If you know pf any other major US television platform besides Fox that airs questioning and dissent of Biden's war policy in Ukraine, let me know. — PolitiTweet.org
