Of course the WashPost article sounded exactly like a Media Matters dossier, to the point of quoting Media Matters. With some noble exceptions, The WashPost and Media Matters serve the same function. The only difference is the branding: https://t.co/mf0FChiQRb — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

These outlets speak only to a liberal audience. That's their business model. The Trump era taught them that this is how they will survive: feeding liberal activism to affluent liberals. So they hire liberal activists like Taylor who do activism under the guise of "journalism": — PolitiTweet.org

@tkelce4prez People on the soft left like you worship corporate media. I doubt you aren't already a subscriber to the WPost, but the reason the largest media corporations (NYT/WP) are thriving is because they serve the liberal-left, which returns the love and allegiance. Send them your cash! — PolitiTweet.org

@jamesstout Or do you mean like this beautiful event where 5,000 people showed up in defense of my journalism after Bolsonaro threatened us with prison, a night my kids remember to this very day after watching my husband introduce me? Is that what you mean? https://t.co/2C3USw3e2i — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Everyone using social media: you've been put on notice about the rules. If you express your opinions on the internet but do so anonymously to protect your job or family, reporters believe they can and should use Jeff Bezos or Comcast's wealth to expose you for that reason alone👇 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jamesstout Or do you mean like this beautiful event from 3 weeks ago where our kids and I spoke to an overflowing-to-the-street auditorium about my husband's re-election campaign? https://t.co/MRLhCB5oVJ — PolitiTweet.org

@SLCLunk I've learned the names of several of those people -- anonymous left-liberal cowards who smear people with lies on Twitter while hiding behind their anonymity -- and never published their names and wouldn't because that's petty gossip and an abuse of a journalistic platform. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MattBinder Then Taylor must've been lying when she told DeSantis' press person that she was going to publish a story exposing @libsoftiktok *hours before* she asked me to publicize Taylor's behavior. It would be reckless to use my unverified tweet as "confirmation": https://t.co/RnAsVLRbDu — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here was Taylor telling Ron DeSantis' press secretary that she was running a story "exposing" the identity of @libsoftiktok -- *hours before* @libsoftiktok asked me to publicize the fact that Taylor was going to her relatives' homes. https://t.co/RnAsVLRbDu — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@froomkin That you think it's legitimate to dig up dirt on a private citizen, but not a powerful and influential journalist, is what is completely sick. If you think the public is going to accept this double standard where journalists sit at the top of a caste, think again. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I really want to see the parallel world in which people visit Taylor's house and the homes and workplaces of her relatives to dig up dirt on her. I have a strong feeling the people defending Taylor doing this to private citizens won't be similarly supportive if it's done to her. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ValerieParaso @libsoftiktok I guess we'll find out if people start visiting Taylor's relatives' homes and workplaces in an effort to find out information about her life. I have a feeling such conduct will be described much differently. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Taylor purposely wrote the article to imply the confirmation came from me. She had already announced to multiple people she knew the name and would publish it. The WP tried to pretend I provided the confirmation because they're lying gossips who lie routinely about their enemies. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is a stupid viral lie being spread by Taylor. She announced she intended to publish @libsoftiktok's name. After, @libsoftiktok provided proof Taylor went to her relatives' houses and asked me to report it to deter Taylor from stalking more people. https://t.co/ulGxVmrn0u — PolitiTweet.org

@glen_55 Were you named MVP of a Super Bowl? If so, congrats! https://t.co/EYqIe8LqNP — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Could the WashPost be any pettier or more jealous? If you feel inadequate about what you've accomplished journalistically, working harder to break meaningful stories is a better solution than trying to malign those who have. Again, this jealousy is why they want Assange punished. https://t.co/tfIwUm0hQo — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I'd be happy to compare journalistic accomplishments with the editors and employees of WPost who keep concocting titles for me other than "journalist" to see who merits the term. Being called an "online influencer" by Taylor is like being called a war criminal by David Frum. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Taylor Lorenz wrote this two fucking weeks ago!!! Do you not see how corporate journalists have created a framework where they can do *anything* to anyone they want and nobody can do anything to them, including criticize them (because it generates "harassment")?? https://t.co/kFlzymbz7r — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The same people who - just 2 weeks ago - were insisting that criticizing Taylor Lorenz is wrong because it generates "harassment" toward her are now cheering as she shows up at the homes of the relatives of Twitter users to dox them. Journalists at the top of the caste order. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Perhaps there's a small difference between investigating crimes by powerful US officials and doxing anonymous Twitter users. The failure to recognize this distinction is a key pathology of modern-day journalism: why Assange is in prison and TikTok Taylor is a "star reporter." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Anyway, given how much approval is being lavished on Taylor Lorenz's doxing of this private citizen (obviously, the Post would never dox a liberal social media user), it seems inevitable that funds will be created to expose and dox anonymous liberal-left Twitter users, too. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One could concoct an argument that investigating, exposing and doxing any anonymous social media is journalistically justifiable because they wield influence. Nonetheless, using Jeff Bezos' wealth to expose private citizens, not powerful actors, is creepy and disturbing. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

That taught liberals "journalism" isn't about exposing secrets of the US security state or powerful actors, just attacking citizens with wrong views (that's why they support Julian Assange's imprisonment and think what he does isn't "journalism" but what Taylor Lorenz does is). https://t.co/XvUYIqQZ5p — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One of the major themes of the Trump era was that the true menaces to the US aren't the US security state (CIA/NSA/Pentagon) or Dem-supporting oligarchs, but private citizens with Bad Politics. Significant journalistic resources were devoted to exposing and punishing them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@theserfstv Can you provide a few examples of my routinely defending Andy Ngo doing this? Or, as usual, are you just fabricating claims and posting them? — PolitiTweet.org
