Tonight on @SystemUpdate_ - 7pm ET - we'll examine WPost's labelling of @MTaibbi and @BariWeiss as "conservative journalists," how media cynically weaponizes such labels (and "journalist"), and what "right" and "left" mean after Trump. Plus: @redsteeze! https://t.co/Sv0iM7MPDd — PolitiTweet.org

@MackJ @lyssophobe @shava23 @ACLU I wasn't a criminal lawyer so never represented any clients, including him, in any criminal proceeding -- only in free speech cases -- but thank you for reminding me of the second-stupidest group: those who blame criminal lawyers for the acts of the clients they defend. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@lyssophobe @shava23 The world's dumbest fucking people are those who can't distinguish between defending the right of person X to speak and defending the ideas of X. Do you think the Jewish leftists at @ACLU who defended the Nazis' right to march in Skokie were Nazis? https://t.co/706usLimst — PolitiTweet.org

@shava23 In that clip, I'm discussing an article I wrote in 2006. In other words, the whole point of that clip demonstrates that I haven't changed anything I think about core values - the exact opposite of your point. You can read it here: https://t.co/PWVF4ncxeS — PolitiTweet.org

One last point about Rumble for now: Even before this new nightly show - when we were just periodically posting videos - we were sometimes getting in excess of 1 million people, and it was routinely in excess of 500,000. And that was before Rumble's most explosive growth. https://t.co/3SuOrylay7 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ArtandTomatoes You're claiming Matt Taibbi was paid by Elon Musk to do that reporting even though Matt has explicitly denied that? Do you have proof for that accusation? Cornel West also goes on Tucker. Do you hate him for that, too? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ArtandTomatoes You're not a credible journalist unless you get Wolf Blitzer and Joe Scarborough to invite you on their programs, or at least have the dignity to confine yourself to Big Tech platforms owned by Google and Mark Zuckerberg. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Our show airs every Monday through Friday, live, at 7 pm ET, exclusively on Rumble, which is fast becoming the free speech alternative to YouTube. You can follow the program at @SystemUpdate_. The new network Rumble is investing in will alter many things: https://t.co/8Br9yMvdQC — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

We're incredibly excited about the potential and impact of our new show. Rumble is growing far faster than people realize: both in terms of audience size and creators fleeing Google's censorship on YouTube. You can watch the full live episode here: https://t.co/cdJQBH71qK — PolitiTweet.org

We then reported documents showing @axios is using its journalistic platform *daily* to claim @elonmusk makes Twitter uninhabitable for corporate advertisers, while Axios's CEO @JimVandeHei secretly uses that narrative to poach those advertisers to Axios: https://t.co/Gf1yRSsRJw — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

We then had an in-depth discussion with @mtaibbi about what he regards as the most significant revelations thus far from the Twitter files. We asked about what conditions Musk imposed (none beyond reporting it on Twitter), and what explains the deranged media rage toward him: https://t.co/OlPdCtmhX6 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Polling data is even more alarming. The vast majority of Democrats and liberals support not only Big Tech censorship of the internet, but also *state censorship*, desiring the state, in union with Big Tech, act as official arbiter of truth: a truly radical, dangerous devolution: https://t.co/WpLMj9rXje — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There is no now question the Democratic Party no longer believes in free speech either as a societal value or constitutional doctrine. They are increasingly explicit -- from @SenMarkey to @RepAdamSchiff -- about their belief in uniting state and corporate power to censor: https://t.co/t6G1Dpo14E — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

We began the show with an examination of how quickly free speech has been degraded from what it long had been - a universally shared value among Americans - into what it is now: rejected as a policy and a value by Democrats. One of my first-ever articles, in 2006, was about this: https://t.co/EMCKkg1ZYk — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

We're thrilled with the success of last night's debut of our new live nightly prime-time program, @SystemUpdate_ , on Rumble. Despite little advertising - we decided to start that only in early January - we had 30,000 people watching live, a total of 160k in the first 12 hours. https://t.co/esWFYxlOun — PolitiTweet.org

@montypythonfun @rustyrockets @DannyDeck68 I most definitely do not share Bari's views on Israel, as she well knows, but I don't regard "fanatical" as derogatory. It's noble if it's devoted to right cause. A Time reporter once called me a "civil liberties fanatic" or something and I took it as a compliment. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And this practice where major newspapers like the WPost publish something blatantly dishonest and false, then quietly remove it once there's backlash on Twitter or elsewhere, is pathetic. Own your mistakes. Add an Editor's Note explaining the change: https://t.co/tj6vMB7kdx — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There are *millions* of Americans who twice voted for Obama, then voted for Trump. Many (including @joerogan) said their 2 favorite candidates were Trump & Sanders. Media liberals have no capacity to understand this, except to call all these people stupid and incoherent. https://t.co/3MYEvx9wCJ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

What this really is about is the inability of media liberals to understand the world except through the crudest and most primitive prism: you're either in their Dem-loyal clique, which means affirming every last one of their pieties, or you're a far-right fascist. Nothing else. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

These labels are now bereft of meaning. They're just in-group signifiers. It's sometimes necessary journalistically to refer to various political factions by the words most often used for them, but liberal journalists now weaponize these labels as vapid enforcement tools. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There's not a single significant view Taibbi has changed since he was universally described as "left-wing" (same with @rustyrockets). As for Bari Weiss: she is a fanatical supporter of US aid to Israel and the Israeli Govt generally, but so is almost all of the Dem Party. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The editorial policy of The Washington Post and many Brooklyn-based liberal digital sites is to falsely label people as "right-wing" as some weird punishment for deviating from liberal orthodoxy. All this term really means is: "one who sometimes rejects Dem Party orthodoxy." — PolitiTweet.org

Even if you want to be some cold-hearted realist about it -- thinking the Saudis are some important ally despite their savagery and despotism -- they're not even that. They laughed at Biden's oil pleas, humiliated Jake Sullivan, etc. Let them fight their own wars with UK help. https://t.co/ncNvCMsVSh — PolitiTweet.org
