@mhewlettWSJ Does this count as "criticize" or "harassment"? https://t.co/Gy2u6X5Vwx — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@DamonLinker @EsotericCD It wasn't just cable. While the NYT and WPost were appropriately skeptical, most liberal sites uncritically ratified the CIA lie over and over. https://t.co/LvqRgb8Vtq — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@EsotericCD @DamonLinker The irony is that the media outlets lied even more brazenly than the CIA/DHS officials. In their letter, those security state operatives stressed: we have no evidence for this claim; it's just a feeling we have. In the media's hands, that skepticism and doubt disappeared. https://t.co/uGQTdFpEjE — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@DamonLinker Either way, now that numerous media organizations they regard as credible (NYT/WPost/CNN/CBS) have all concluded the laptop is fully authentic, shouldn't they tell their audience that the claims they spread over and over how it was "Russian disinformation" was, in fact, false? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@DamonLinker News organizations weren't "skeptical" about it. They affirmatively stated over and over that it was fake, that it was Russian disinformation, based on nothing but a letter from explicitly anti-Trump ex-CIA/DHS operatives. The problem wasn't skepticism; it was lack of it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And: why would they think the public would accept the premise that journalists are a special, protected class which can't be criticized, while they malign, investigate and try to destroy anyone they want? Journalists are powerful actors. You have *every right* to criticize them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Liberal corporate journalists sit online all day, roaming in packs, spewing the most vicious insults against those they dislike. But the minute someone criticizes them, they scream "harassment." Why would think think people won't see, or would accept, this double standard? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@DamonLinker Are you grateful that the CIA disseminated an outright lie two weeks before the election in order to protect Joe Biden, and that most major media corporations ratified this lie, or do you feel that the cause was just enough that doing so was noble or at least understandable? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@shannoncoulter @ejdickson @MarisaKabas @juliaioffe I've always critiqued, mocked and exposed the lies of corporate journalists - ever since I created a blog - and I'll never stop. Journalists are powerful actors and deserve critical scrutiny like anyone else. Your attempt to place them off-limits from critique will fail. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@shannoncoulter @ejdickson @MarisaKabas @juliaioffe Explain to me why you and Julia Ioffe and countless other liberal employees of media corporations can attack, insult, malign and incite hatred against me on a daily basis here and it's OK, but if I criticize them, then it's "harassment." Why are corporate media mavens off-limits? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

These liberal corporate media employees and their academic comrades are about 6 seconds away from demanding FBI and Mueller investigate whether Musk colluded with the Russians to manipulate the Trump poll. This is the same clique who lied about the Biden laptop being Russian. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@shannoncoulter @ejdickson @MarisaKabas @juliaioffe Of course you believe your attacking me -- a gay Jew in a multi-racial marriage and family -- is perfectly fine. When you and your liberal media friends attack me daily with the most vicious insults, this is fine to you, not "harassment." Your double standard is rejected.🤷‍♂️ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@dshwa76 @MarisaKabas Exactly. It started with hateful bigots like you using your platforms to spew hatred and disgust for gay men, Jews and other members of marginalized groups like me. All these insults you're hurling at me are designed to incite hatred and violence against me. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@shannoncoulter @ejdickson @MarisaKabas @juliaioffe These are wealthy journalists who deliberately seek a public platform and who have the world's largest media corporations behind them. Critiquing their public statements and them are fair game, not "harassment." That they convince people like you that they're immune is pathetic. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@maryangelaperna @ejdickson @MarisaKabas Yes, "progressive" means supporting NATO wars and putting the flag in your bio of whatever country the CIA has decided to flood with weapons from Raytheon and General Dynamics. You are a good little "progressive." I, sadly, am being denied this glorious title. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ejdickson @MarisaKabas Stay safe, EJ. As a gay man and a Jew in an inter-racial marriage with an inter-racial family, I somehow am surviving in the new Treblinka called Twitter. I wish you and Marisa the greatest luck in your attempts to fight your away out of the new Warsaw Ghetto one tweet at a time. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MarisaKabas Beyond a significant portion of my family being murdered in the Holocaust, you may have heard that LGBTs were also murdered in large numbers in those camps. People in inter-racial marriages were treated brutally. So yes, I think I have moral credibility to speak of the Holocaust. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MarisaKabas My grandfather and grandmother's family was murdered in concentration camps. My grandmother and her youngest sister were the only ones who escaped Germany to get to the US in the mid-1930s. But Thank God I have MSNBC's Marisa Kabas to tell me what is and isn't dangerous for Jews. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Anyway, it's obvious why all these media corporations united to ratify what was so clearly a CIA lie right before the election. It's the same reason they won't retract or acknowledge it now: They lied to ensure Trump lost, and they know their liberal audience wants them to lie. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In US politics, the dominant, hegemonic group are neoliberals: the establishment wing of the Democratic Party and GOP. Loyalists to the establishment are never censored. Those who are censored are dissidents, those who oppose that establishment power. That's how it always works. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The first reporting I ever did on Big Tech censorship was in 2016: how Israel was handling lists to Facebook of Palestinian journalists they wanted banned, and FB obeyed. That's how censorship works: a weapon to protect power against the marginalized. https://t.co/vE0XpFlk78 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Jews, LBGTs and other groups claiming marginalization don't need censorship to be "safe." The opposite is true. Censorship is a weapon wielded by the powerful *against marginalized groups. It's not used to protect them. That's why marginalized groups were always anti-censorship. https://t.co/045OoKRtsu — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NegDiscountRt @juliaioffe @NewYorker She's claiming free speech is a luxury and privilege that can be afforded only by born-rich, white, heterosexual, cis men like Elon Musk, but not deeply marginalized people like ... Julie Ioffe. Free speech in the 20th Century was a movement fought for by marginalized groups. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And what the fuck is this? Jews have faced grave and authentic persecution throughout history. The desperation to grab and claim some of that for yourself -- as a wealthy white MSNBC media maven - is grotesque. Twitter is not Auschwitz or the Inquisition: https://t.co/xFcWQHxV5M — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

How have wealthy white women like @JuliaIoffe - of Princeton and @NewYorker - convinced themselves they're marginalized and endangered? It's also offensive: she anoints herself spokeswoman for the groups that fought for free speech: leftist Jews, civil rights leaders, LGBTs etc. https://t.co/6BPQVbP1Z9 — PolitiTweet.org

@actualbenprice "Hi, my name is Ben Price, and I'm grateful when the CIA and most large media corporations in the United States unite to circulate an absolute lie and propagandize the public right before a national election. It's OK by me if they do it. No big deal. No need for them to retract." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Watch one lie after the next from liberal media corporations -- liberal pundits who always claim they need to censor the internet to stop disinformation when *they* are its most destructive purveyors of it. Not one of these scumbags acknowledged their lie https://t.co/5toc9VWneu — PolitiTweet.org
