Within minutes of posting this, two examples randomly popped up in my timeline. Here's your first: https://t.co/WKMbMXD7OZ — PolitiTweet.org

The difference between what the Democrats are and what the Democrats pretend to their fans to be could not be larger. — PolitiTweet.org

Someone needs to explain the business strategy of taking hosts that everyone can watch for free but few choose to, and putting them behind a paywall and believing people will now pay to watch the same people they ignore when offered for free. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Genuinely interested in hearing from a defender of corporate media: what's the difference - in journalistic mentality and/or methods -- between what they did in the run-up to the Iraq War (from which they supposedly learned so many lessons) and what they're doing now on Ukraine? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ddayen Right. I think the rise of this new sector of independent media has been driven by homogenization of everything that preexisted it. In the Trump-era, from left to liberal, there was full agreement on Russiagate, 1/6, Trump as unique fascist/white nationalist, etc. All the same. — PolitiTweet.org

If the corporate media had any minimal standards of ethics or even dignity, this would cause an immediate expulsion of Ioffe from any venues of credibility, but most of them not only know that it's true but also see it as virtuous. As with Trump, all is justified to stop Putin. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In these two tweets, @juliaioffe -- long one of the most fanatical and deranged Russiagaters -- comes out and explicitly says *not only* that the US media is being used to spread propaganda by the US Govt about Ukraine but that it's noble that they're being used this way. https://t.co/OT52aTUG71 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ddayen I agree with Matt that the overwhelming, dominant trend in left-liberal media during the Trump era has been toward complete undifferentiated homogeneity (with NYT op-ed page being the model), but also agree that what you guys do is one of the very few, rare and noble exceptions. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

They're not even hiding it this time. The vast, vast majority of "reporting" from corporate media outlets on Russia/Ukraine consists of nothing other than "anonymous intelligence officials tell us..." No verification, questioning or doubt. They just go and prosthelytize as told. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The level of overt racism you can get away with as long as it's devoted to the cause of American liberalism is just breathtaking. This is as patronizing, demeaning and racialized an attack as you'll see, right out in the open in the Washington Post. But the target is right. — PolitiTweet.org

Authoritarianism is often popular. Rights exist to protect minority opinions and minority rights. They're never needed to protect majorities. Authoritarian leaders around the world are elected and popular. The popularity of authoritarianism doesn't make it less menacing: more so. — PolitiTweet.org

@b_judah I did, actually - not just that part but the rest as well. — PolitiTweet.org

@Yang_Sanity Every tweet is translatable and I posted the translated-into-English tweets in the second tweet of mine. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One of the most ignored populations in the US and most western democracies are those who *choose* not to vote, because they think the entire system is illegitimate. Both parties have an interest in pretending they don't exist. Read his 3 tweets: this rationale is highly common: https://t.co/GLq96FGh3V — PolitiTweet.org

Lula is about to choose as his Vice a center-right figure his party spent 2 decades vilifying as a racist and fascist wanting to starve babies. Here, a highly influential black YouTuber from the favelas says this is why so many people he knows won't vote and don't trust politics: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

When these employees of media corporations accuse others of not doing "real reporting," this is what they mean by "real reporting": getting calls from the CIA or Pentagon and being told what to say. Not doing that was supposedly the lesson of Iraq but it's more common than ever. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Just judge for yourself. Watch how employees of large media corporations "report" on Russia/Ukraine: almost all of it is just repeating -- uncritically -- what anonymous intel officials told them. This is what they regard as "real reporting." It's been their function for decades. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Amazing interview with of the former MI6 chief with the Atlantic Council's @B_judah (the whole gang present) where the intel goon *admits* that many western "intel leaks" media outlets are dutifully conveying aren't real leaks but propaganda messages designed to undercut Putin. https://t.co/UOzBxG5F5H — PolitiTweet.org

E aproveito para lembrar mais uma vez que Geraldo Alckmin, em quem os petistas se preparam para votar, foi um dos líderes do impeachment contra Dilma (ou seja, um "golpista"). Ciro, que os petistas costumam chamar de diabo, foi um dos adversários mais barulhentos e enfáticos. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@none23588 Odeie a governança de Dilma o quanto quiser. Mas ela ganhou as eleições de 2014. E se você voltar e olhar para quem liderou o impeachment, foram as piores pessoas do Brasil: Cunha, Temer, Aécio e, principalmente, a mídia Globo/Veja. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

O impeachment de Dilma foi justificado em nome do combate à corrupção ao mesmo tempo em que foi liderado *por Eduardo Cunha e Aécio Neves*, e teve como objetivo a *posse de Michel Temer como presidente*. O cerne fraudulento não poderia ter sido mais óbvio desde o início. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

De repente, tantas pessoas que apoiaram o impeachment de Dilma estão admitindo que foi uma fraude e uma injustiça. Foi a grande mídia unida a favor, e foi um dos primeiros e mais graves ataques à democracia. Por isso nunca confiei em suas palestras de democracia sobre Bolsonaro. — PolitiTweet.org

@ChuckRossDC She has an overwhelmingly Dem district. The only possible concern she could ever have is a Dem challenger - and there's zero way a position like this could help with Dem voters. She speaks from conviction more than most politicians, even though many on the right loathe her. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I hope people on the right see how often @IlhanMN takes the correct position, often alone among Democrats. Remember she was the first to warn of the grave dangers of a new War on Terror in the name of 1/6. Disagree with her on many things, but she's her own person. Read this: — PolitiTweet.org
