That tweet above shows how Democrats now just use accusations of being "pro-Putin" or "a Kremlin asset" or whatever as an all-purpose, generalized insult for anyone opposing Democratic politicians. Thus, anyone discussing the NYT article "wants to fight for Russia." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Yesterday, a newspaper called "The New York Times" published a long article on the broad FBI investigation into Hunter Biden and, for the first time, stated that the censored emails weren't "Russian disinformation" but were genuine. Somehow this means they love Putin: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@davecdnb @SchreckReports Have you heard of this paper called "the New York Times"? They published this long article yesterday on the FBI's criminal investigation into Hunter Biden and, for the first time, admitted the docs the CIA/media called "Russian disinformation" were real: https://t.co/q4Uet1vWI8 — PolitiTweet.org

@Nuppelhauser @TiloJung There are plenty of savage despots supported, armed and propped up by the US and UK -- from Riyadh to Cairo -- who aren't on the list of countries rejecting the Western consensus. The patrons of these tyrannies are in Washington and London. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MarcACaputo I don't want you to delete it. I think your role as a leader in McCarthyite patriotism witch hunts should be preserved. It's important people know that employees of media corporations with the HR job title "journalist" led these smear campaigns against dissent. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And never forget what Facebook did. It sent out a career Dem Party operative -- @AndyMStone -- to announce that FB was suppressing discussion of the Biden story pending "third-party fact checking." That never came because, of course, the docs were real: https://t.co/YYcxHQL4nB — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One key point: we should avoid treating yesterday's NYT admission that the laptop is authentic as the first time this was proven. @SchreckReports's book last year proved it. Most importantly, the proof that the archive was real was known from the start: https://t.co/H4ksPIN7sJ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@RevanthVejju @HeidiNBC There are established ways for confirming the authenticity of large archives like these. I used all those methods in the Snowden archive, the Brazil archive and WikiLeaks. That the materials were real was proven from the start: https://t.co/H4ksPIN7sJ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TMahogany44 Tell me how grateful you are that the CIA and the corporate media lied to the American public and Big Tech monopolies censored reporting based on this lie? What are your top 3 reasons for being grateful when you're lied to by US power centers? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Look at this amazing example: NBC's @HeidiNBC said the Biden laptop was "disinformation" just like the 2016 WikiLeaks release was -- where *every* doc was authentic! For these media corporation, "disinformation" means: authentic facts that undermine Democratic Party leaders. https://t.co/WwLbYoJmY3 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The most amazing part of all this -- besides how many corporate journalists *cheered* Big Tech's censorship of the reporting -- is how even the trained career liars of the CIA acknowledged they had no evidence for this: a caveat media outlets *omitted* to make it seem proven. https://t.co/eOEoj8NuDY — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Below, @tomselliott collects many - nowhere near all - of the media and political elites who spread the CIA lie over and over. Not a single one has acknowledged error let alone wrongdoing. They know they don't need to: liberal readers *want* them to lie. https://t.co/j3rFobi8Ew — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Besides Jen Psaki, one of the most aggressive spreaders of this CIA lie -- unsurprisingly -- former Obama national security aide @brhodes. He just emphatically asserted this lie over and over with no caveats: https://t.co/ezP4kHBqQW — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's been 24 hours since the NYT acknowledged the reported emails from the Biden laptop were authentic, as was the NY Post's story on how they obtained it. *None* of the media outlets that spread the CIA's "Russian disinformation" lie has admitted what they did or retracted it👇 https://t.co/6LXhtIXEHm — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@davetroy @sullydish It's a serious mental illness to believe you've been anointed spokesman for "all." But it's even a graver mental illness to believe that you've discovered a lurking, clandestine network of traitors. It drove McCarthy to heavy drinking and an early death. Take care of yourself. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here's an NBC reporter, @MarcACaputo, endorsing this "Fifth Column" thread and adding his own McCarthyite term to it. Just as it's so twisted that journalists now *lead* the campaign for censorship, they want from being targets of patriotism witch hunts to leading perpetrators. https://t.co/lHizMCeTrJ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In the neocon-led discourse after 9/11, anyone questioning the USG was deemed a traitor. The episode that most angered liberals was @sullydish's use of "Fifth Column": he apologized many times. So of course this term is back, with "journalists" cheering this noxious thread: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

For decades in Western discourse, the phrases "the international community" and "the civilized world" always meant: "the US, its English-speaking allies, Western Europe and whichever other countries happen to agree with the U.S. at any given moment." That's what it still means. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This NYT article on the nations/populations which reject the Western consensus on Russia -- including Vietnam, Brazil, Kenya, South Africa, China -- is one of the most condescending things you'll read. Depicted as primitive and dumb for believing this👇: https://t.co/GJdutzPgel https://t.co/GQumooWVkO — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One of the most bizarre aspects of Western discourse now - almost surreal - is hearing political/media elites claim "the whole world" is united behind them over Russia. The reality: many of the world's most populous countries, including 1 and 2, refuse to join this "consensus." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jman37297 @LolaSmithJones1 @worldumpire @mtaibbi The CIA and corporate media jointly lied to the country to discredit the reporting. They obviously thought it mattered. Big Tech united to brute-censor the story in a way that was unprecedented. You're a total fraud: defending these corrupt power centers. You're just a Democrat. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@LolaSmithJones1 @worldumpire @jman37297 @mtaibbi Many ed rose socialists like hime love when CIA and the corporate press lie to them. It's the most bizarre thing. They put pseudo-radical emojis in their Twitter bio, then demand nobody care when the CIA and media jointly mislead the country with lies to subvert the election.🤷‍♂️ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Exactly. It's just astonishing that Twitter locked the @nypost out of its account for 10 days for refusing to delete references to its laptop-based reporting. Facebook, though DNC operative @andymstone, announced they'd suppress the story pending a fact-check: which never came. https://t.co/1AOM3bb1Kj — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

By the way, look who else spread the CIA's lies about the Biden laptop in the weeks before the 2020 election: the person who still demands that you trust her now when she claims that this and that and whatever else the WH wants to discredit is "Russian disinformation." https://t.co/uiaS04ct3G — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Virtually every liberal corporate media outlet spread the CIA's lie that the Biden laptop was "Russian disinformation." Each time evidence emerges that they lied, not only don't they retract it, but they *ignore* the evidence. Will they still after NYT admission today? Probably. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KFILE Granted:"neocon" isn't a term of great precision but there's still a clear difference between that/them and standard militaristic conservatism (which includes Graham and Pompeo). Bolton is arguably one but hates Trump. Not sure Abrams is prominent now but, sure, could be one. — PolitiTweet.org
