@someonetookmy I explained this at length. The fact that a policy may produce good results doesn't allow Congress to enact it if it violates the Constitution. I think the much better solution to corporate corruption is public financing, not bans on how people can spend their money for speech. — PolitiTweet.org

@JesseDHale1 I find it bizarre when people tell me I should only engage with famous journalists and politicians, not ordinary people like them, as if you have no value because you're "random." I built my platform by engaging with readers. Your second accusation is pointless without specifics. — PolitiTweet.org

@bosdcla14 @DPanderal This doesn't contradict anything I've ever said about this case, which is why you just have a general accusation, nothing specific. Many of the worst FBI entrapment cases of the War on Terror ended with convictions of young Muslim men because the law is very pro-prosecutor. — PolitiTweet.org

@AlexAssis19 Quando Monark foi demitido, eu não só o defendi - e provoquei uma guerra pela esquerda - mas trabalhei para conseguir outra plataforma para ele. Tenho alertado muito sobre os perigos do STF/de Moraes. Aqui está a atualização que postei sobre David; obrigado por perguntar. https://t.co/snxda0X2oM — PolitiTweet.org

@AlexAssis19 É incrível a frequência com que pessoas como você mentem. Tenho discutido e denunciado constantemente a censura no Brasil - tanto em português quanto em inglês - e não importa quantas vezes eu faça isso, idiotas como você vêm e insistem que eu não faça. — PolitiTweet.org

@aaronjmate Even worse. Who protested? — PolitiTweet.org

The mainstream left is never sadder than when they think they've found someone subversive and radical who, in fact, is one of the least threatening and therefore most valuable assets of the Establishment that can be conjured up. Call it the Bernie/AOC Syndrome. https://t.co/LjuUOh7onC — PolitiTweet.org

@mortimerstokes Yeah, I mean entertainment and venting are important in political discourse. You can't constantly be chiding and ponderous. It's one of the things people on the left often have trouble with. But you can also delve into these sorts of insults excessively in a way that distracts. — PolitiTweet.org

@mtracey @mattduss Who is Matt Duss and when he will become a card-carrying member of The Blob? — PolitiTweet.org

"Web Summit has always been a platform for rigorous debate" but journalists we invited have views on Ukraine that aren't shared by the majority of our audience and make some of them angry so therefore - in the name of "robust dialogue on contentious issues" - they're disinvited. — PolitiTweet.org

@ilpomodoro2 Right: seems like pretty convincing proof that I'm not willing to spout bullshit I don't believe in order to be on cable, since I easily could have continued my bookings on MSBNC/CNN and even increased them by ratifying Russiagate and endlessly screeching that Trump is a fascist. — PolitiTweet.org

@Novatecho The US successfully negotiated with every Soviet leader, with China, with Iraq, with the Saudis, with North Korea, with Iran. They always tell you that the latest enemy is the Worst Ever! -- never seen since Hitler! -- Beyond Reason! - and people like you always fall for it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@lennartreus There is far more to NBC News Corp. (and Comcast Corp. that owns it), and CNN and Time Warner Corp. that owns it, than just shows on cable. That these shows attract no audience doesn't mean these corporate behemoths are powerless. Few use Meta's VR; FB is still immensely powerful — PolitiTweet.org

Forcing House Progressives to grovel and retract their own statement - as Bernie chided them for their letter - is designed to ensure all Dems know that they must pledge to fund and arm Ukraine without limits, conditions or timeframe. Dissent can reside only in a minority of GOP. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Why did the DC Blob - its political and media mavens - react so furiously to the letter of the House Progressive Caucus when they only have 30 votes? They are desperate to equate diplomacy with immoral appeasement, and ensure there's no space in the Dem Party to advocate for it. — PolitiTweet.org

Why did the DC Blog - its political and media mavens - react so furiously to the letter of the House Progressive Caucus when they only have 30 votes? They are desperate to equate diplomacy with immoral appeasement, and enusre there's no space in the Dem Party to advocate for it. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeet has spent the day sitting on the part of his couch into which his cells have physically morphed berating the WPost for failing to note that Lula's convictions were the result of corruption, while accusing the reporter who revealed this of being a far-right fascist activist: https://t.co/6F8xfWStps — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The reason the world knows that Lula's convictions were the result of corrupt judges and prosecutors is because @HeerJeet -- tweeting from the part of his couch into which his cells have physically morphed -- heroically risked his liberty in 2020 to reveal this to the world: — PolitiTweet.org

@ilpomodoro2 Why would I be mad that I can only go on the most-watched shows but not the shows nobody watches? And use common sense: if I'm so eager to be on MSNBC and CNN, why didn't I just say the obvious things to keep me on there (namely, Russia took over and Trump is Orange Hitler)? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@lennartreus I claim that about NBC News, the NYT, CNN and the TV networks which -- despite having small audiences for their prime-time cable shows -- still are massive media corporations, owned by even larger corporations, with huge platforms and the ability to shape how millions think. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@EvanHiester I always find it weird when someone convinces themselves that they somehow speak for a huge group of people that is unaware of that person and unaware that they elected someone as their spokesperson. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@LizMair I think there's a huge misunderstanding of how often that show criticizes GOP politicians (way way way more than MSNBC/CNN criticize Dem politicians). but also there's a huge gap between the closed discourse system of online Dems and what many Dem voters believe. — PolitiTweet.org

@Chaos_515 I provided this update yesterday in response to someone in Brazil asking if he's better yet: https://t.co/K510tlGUGm — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile, the cable show that has **the largest audience of younger Democrats** -- meaning self-identified Democrats between the ages of 24-54 -- is . . . the Tucker Carlson Show, appearing 8 pm ET on Fox News: https://t.co/8uGI2um1Ks — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Less than 10% of MSNBC's extremely small prime-time audience -- less than 10%!!!! -- is under 55 years old. Their prime-time shows barely draw more than 100k people under 55 watching: an audience size comparable to a mid-sized YouTube show. — PolitiTweet.org
