No criticizing top executives of powerful corporations who make $17 million/year. They are the real victims, off-limits from public criticism, says a top Twitter executive. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

How can democracy possibly survive if the state and the world's largest corporations don't dictate to people which ideas they can and can't express, decree for them truth and falsity, silence dissent? This is, with increasing explicitness, the dominant view of the media class. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is also the dynamic prevailing in newsrooms: not only regarding free speech but a wide range of issues. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The logic of the WashPost: -- VALID TARGET FOR CRITIQUE AND INVESTIGATION: the woman behind @libsoftiktok. -- SHE WHO MUST NOT BE CRITIQUED: the $17 million/year top lawyer of Twitter. This is the caste system corporate journalism is imposing. — PolitiTweet.org

@javierderivera Two of the most vocal media members advocating my arrest and prosecution during the Snowden reporting were David Gregory and Joy Ann Reid. The former worked for NBC and the latter works for MSNBC. I was on Fox several times back then and don't recall anyone advocating that. — PolitiTweet.org

@daveymarosi I go on all shows that invite me, including ones with good faith critiques. It's not my fault MSNBC and CNN don't air dissent. https://t.co/lKUlRbenzL — PolitiTweet.org

Here's the second part of this excerpt: regarding the massive backlash Musk would face -- if his vows to restore free speech are genuine -- from a union of the most potent Western power centers that now centrally rely upon the repressive regime of internet censorship they built: https://t.co/pw37qfX9R9 — PolitiTweet.org

This week I was in the US to tape two episodes of Tucker Carlson's daytime show, which allows far more in-depth discussion than night-time cable permits. The first episode aired this morning. Here's part of our discussion of the implications of Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter: https://t.co/pPgNJVXtII — PolitiTweet.org

@RonaldChronsoon Could you provide some examples of my fawning over him given how often and constantly I do it? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It is just insane beyond words that the very same Bezos-owned paper that just doxed and published private details about a private citizen is now trying to claim that any criticisms of a mega-rich, powerful Twitter executive is immoral. They really believe they are caste rulers. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Please read this thread from @esaagar -- about the WashPost's attempt to blame him for "harassment" received by a mega-rich Twitter official because he criticized her -- to see how corrupt corporate journalism is when it comes to its enemies. Please read: https://t.co/uRvW3uRoAI — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The same WashPost just doxed a private citizen, dragging her into the spotlight because they disliked her politics, publishing her address as they did it. That generated immense "harassment." How can one criticize powerful people without being accused of generating "harassment"? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The Twitter official Musk criticized, in the mildest of tones, makes $17 million/year, as @neontaster says. Over and over, the largest media corporations try to place the most powerful people *off-limits from criticism* by claiming any criticisms of them generates "harassment." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is why I regard as such a pathetic joke the whining and panic now from liberal journalists about billionaire control over social media and the possibility that "disinformation" will spread. That already happened. Facebook did it to help Biden. And they all *cheered*. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here's the tweet from Stone on Oct. 14 -- 3 weeks before Americans would vote for President -- snidely maligning the Biden reporting on behalf of Facebook and claiming they would conduct a fact-check. 18 months later, no fact-check. Why, @andymstone? https://t.co/YYcxHQL4nB — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is the life-long Dem Party activist, now a Facebook spokesman, who announced -- 2 weeks before the election -- that Facebook would suppress the Biden reporting pending a "fact-check" on the documents. He lied. The fact-check never came. Why? Because the docs were real: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Todays_Pretty If you want to comment on the news, you should probably follow it. This is from a small, obscure paper called "The New York Times."The Washington Post has separately confirmed the authenticity of those emails. The CIA lied to you and you believed it. https://t.co/p6EZcI5vep — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Corporate journalists were *thrilled* Facebook and Twitter censored reporting about Joe Biden's activities in Ukraine and China 2 weeks before the 2020 election. In part it's because they are censorship advocates, but mostly because they were desperate for Biden to win: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The panic from liberal journalists that Musk will allow "disinformation" is stunning since *they*: -- lied to Americans that the Biden emails were "Russian disinformation -- falsely claimed Trump ignored Russian "bounties" in Afghanistan -- cheered Steele Dossier etc. etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The brute censorship by Twitter/FB of authentic reporting on Biden, 2 weeks before the 2020 election, based on the CIA "Russian disinformation" lie, was grotesque: extremist election manipulation for Biden. So of course liberal journalists revere the Twitter lawyer who did it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@EricSmithAlan Ignore the names they call you and criticize who you want. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

(Also off-limits, of course, are corporate journalists, who publish articles on the front pages of the West's most influential papers. No criticizing them either: critiques of their work are "harassment." They shape society and affect lives while you sit in deferential silence). — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Note how elites constantly invent new theories as to why the public can't critique the richest, most powerful and most influential people in society. Thus, even the top lawyer of a major corporation like Twitter is off-limits from critique because she's a woman. So patronizing. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Yet again we have a male journalist who looks at a powerful, accomplished, rich professional woman who has ascended to great career heights -- Twitter's top lawyer -- and sees a fragile, weak china doll too delicate to be criticized. It's 1950s sexism masquerading as chivalry. — PolitiTweet.org
