These are the people who claim to be so worried about "disinformation," and who believe the internet should be censored to prohibit any questioning of or deviation from that which they declare to be Truth. Nobody lies more recklessly or destructively: https://t.co/jwvEIBQUb1 — PolitiTweet.org

Regarding the above thread: here's my discussion on Fox last night regarding the magnitude of the fraud - the media and political scandal - by a union of CIA, liberal corporate outlets and Big Tech, to spread the pre-election lie of "Russian disinformation" about Biden documents: https://t.co/AkTNe7xMYQ — PolitiTweet.org

@CogentNomad @Hormother As soon as I'm done proving Saddam Hussein was in an alliance with Al Qaeda, that he had nuclear weapons, and that the Kremlin had seized control of American power through secret blackmail leverage over the president, so I then get hired at the Atlantic and as a CNN contributor. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@trotskybaby @joshuarolson Except this was the point to which you responded with such offense. This is what upset you: https://t.co/VgzKdmwn4c — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Lastdance_LL @sage__one @joshuarolson Exactly. As they claim my "credibility" is "collapsing," the reach and impact of my work has never been greater. They've been trained to believe the only form of valid credibility is bestowed by large liberal media corporations. If Wolf Blitzer doesn't like you, you're nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@trotskybaby @joshuarolson Nobody gets more upset about characterizing mainstream corporate centers of power as criminal than self-described "socialists." It's bizarre. I'm sorry I unfairly maligned Jeffrey Goldberg, Liz Cheney, Bill Kristol, John Brennan and David Frum. I'll try to be more thoughtful. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@joshuarolson No, I just think obsessing on Jones, while ignoring the vastly more consequential empowerment of people who have committed far worse crimes, by the the largest and richest media corporations, reveals some misguided concerns, to put that mildly. I know it's easier though. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@butkisFF Is that equally true, if not more true, of the Atlantic, the New Yorker, NBC News, CNN, and the Washington Post? Because the people angry about all this seem desperate to be affiliated with those corporations, not angry about who they platform and employ. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@thejimshapiro Not credibility in general -- credibility among *establishment institutions of power and guardians of banal liberal pieties.* Many like you have been trained to believe the only valid type of credibility comes from those sectors. I've had it. Keeping it would be easy. It's vile. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@worf_rat Those are central topics of the film, which you would know had you seen it. Huge media corporations and the Cheney family have some amount of consequence beyond what you call my "own personal petty grievances." Lots of corpses piled up from their work. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

From @svzwood in @NYMag: https://t.co/y6EmRPIlIm — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In sum: "credibility" and popularity within despised, rotted, collapsing establishment institutions of power -- and among guardians of banal liberal pieties -- is not something one should covet, value or pursue. David Frum, John Brennan, and Liz Cheney have that in abundance. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@s_quire_esquire The only respectable places to appear are CNN, NBC and the Washington Post. They have extremely stringent character requirements and only people of the highest integrity and commitment to truth are permitted. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@joshuarolson By contrast, the people who have spread far more destructive and murderous propaganda and conspiracy theories -- but on behalf of ruling class ideology and interests -- are all thriving at the Atlantic, New Yorker, NBC, CNN, with book contracts and late-night appearances. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@joshuarolson On top of being de-personed by Big Tech, universally despised by corporate media, and untouchable for the political class, he's likely to be bankrupted by the pending Sandy Hook lawsuits. That doesn't make him good, but it makes objecting to the "outcast/dissident" label absurd. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@CREID2852 @ZaidJilani Your time-line is filled with citations to people whose crimes & conspiracy theories are far more destructive than Jones': those who claimed Saddam had an alliance with AQ, WMD, Russia had seized control of the US. They're acceptable to you because they came from ruling elites. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@joshuarolson He was the first person for whom Big Tech united to de-person and ban from the internet, as a test case and regime-construction model for how systemic internet censorship would be imposed. If that doesn't make someone an outcast and dissident, then nothing does. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Finally, in @NYMag, @svzwood, who attended the Austin premiere, captures the ethos of the film and the event. Establishment media/culture accepts and embraces all sorts of evil, war criminality, conspiracy theories. What it most despises is defiance of it https://t.co/4FDzbtheuv — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In a smart review of "Alex's War" in @compactmag_, @daily_barbarian says the film is "at once a compelling personal portrait and an important chronicle of our times." But in liberal culture, there's no room for understanding deviations, only condemning. https://t.co/R9c7ChvKuV — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In his review, Taibbi highlights a crucial point. Corporate journalists think people like Jones are isolated, while they remains omnipotent arbiters of nobility. The opposite is true: The Jones film is the #1 on Amazon, ahead of Top Gun, while liberal corporate media collapses. https://t.co/PnTeX4QR5A — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Separately, Taibbi interviews Moyer about her interest in outcasts (incels and Jones), and why journalists can't understand her films: because she does *journalism*, showing viewers the truth and lets them decide, rather than performatively denouncing: https://t.co/K7thINumap — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here @mtaibbi reviews the 2 films by the great documentarian Alex Lee Moyer: on "incel" subculture ("TFW No GF") and her latest, a documentary on Alex Jones ("Alex's War"). My admiration for Moyer's filmmaking is what caused me to agree to host the premiere, and I'm glad I did.👇 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Media corporations willing to do something like that - blatantly spread a CIA lie with no purpose other than manipulate an election outcome - then refuse to account for what they did, are *irremediable*. They've earned your distrust, deserve your contempt, have no redeeming value — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I can't stress this enough: ever since Trump's elections, employees of media corporations relinquished any pretense of journalistic limits. Their cultural faction believes Trump is such a singular and unique evil that everything - including lying - is justified and even noble. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

All of these outlets know that what they told Americans right before the election is a lie. Politico, NYT and WPost - with Biden safely elected - admitted they verified the authenticity of these docs. *Not one* outlet that spread this CIA lie accounted for it let alone retracted. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Just two weeks before Americans voted for President, most liberal outlets ratified and spread a lie from CIA about these docs, which Big Tech then used to justify *brute censorship* of the story. Millions of Americans, as intended, voted without knowing about these revelations. — PolitiTweet.org
