Here's an extremely illuminating episode on how liberal corporate media works. When @krystalball and @esaagar left @thehill's "Rising," the Hill struggled to find a heterodox, anti-establishment voice equally popular with its audience. They finally found her: @KimIversenShow. — PolitiTweet.org

@gfdalton @WilliamTurton They spread this lie yesterday without doing the slightest work to verify it: not even asking me. That's what they are: deliberate liars with no good faith effort to explain the truth. I've repeatedly explained this is a lie but they can't accept it. https://t.co/jT9idCMnrE — PolitiTweet.org

@torrHL It's a bunch of liberals who lie for a living doing what they do. Use common sense: why would I agree to publicly speak for some new phone and meet with journalists about it 2 weeks from now, but then deny it when it's announced? Where's the contract or agreement for me to do it? — PolitiTweet.org

The group @TheFIREorg -- which has clearly become the premiere civil liberties and free speech group in the US, fighting against all censorship and repression regardless of ideology -- is now suing the school on his behalf. They deserve support: https://t.co/GqF6X9VfNH — PolitiTweet.org

Professor Stuart Reges was one of the earliest to come out as gay in the 1980s. He's a long-time opponent of the Drug War. But he opposes and lightly mocked the U. of Wash's demands of "land acknowledgement," so now they're formally investigating him: https://t.co/6eNNoqA5Tv — PolitiTweet.org

@BryantTEng You work to empower people who spent their adult lives opposed to marriage equality into the planet's most powerful positions, and demand everyone else do so, so no: I don't take fake sermons from people like you about how I can't talk to anyone with imperfect LGBT views. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@tkelce4prez @BryantTEng You don't know shit about my husband's politics because you don't speak the language, know nothing about the country, know nothing about his party. And I know it's shocking for Western liberals to year, but he's his own man even though he's not a white Westerner who grew up rich. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BryantTEng I don't know. I know Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden were all vehemently arguing it's immoral to allow people like me to marry our spouses, but I don't know what Laura and Dinesh would've done in college, but either way, I don't accept attempts to reduce me to "gay." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Last March we reported on how vague and broad is the Homeland Security definition of "domestic extremist." It encompasses almost every meaningful anti-establishment political movement on the right, left and otherwise. See for yourself: https://t.co/570cUxYPgo — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The new War on Terror: Domestic Edition -- which Biden officials *before* 1/6 vowed to implement (just as neocons exploited 9/11 to invade Iraq, that's how Dems use 1/6) -- is about classifying all anti-establishment sentiment, on the right or left, as "domestic terrorism."👇 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

To avoid over-generalizing: there are individual reporters in each of these corrupted media corporations still trying to do good and fair work, adhering to basic ethical precepts of journalism. But the institutions themselves are irremediable, and thus lost most of their power. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Beyond that, corporate media has so discredited itself -- just look at polling data -- that, aside from all else, their reach is radically diminished. They speak only to and for one another: liberals. Their rotted soul has fostered a far more vibrant part of the media ecosystem. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is the overarching premise of liberal culture, the singular view you must affirm to be accepted within it: Trump is a singular and unprecedented evil, and opposing him by all means - including lying - is not only justified but morally required. That's their defining ethos. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This from the often-wise @jackshafer -- arguing the GOP is foolish to ignore corporate media -- is compelling... in a prior era. Trump's arrival radically transformed most media into blatant, unapologetic propagandists for Dems. Nothing is in good faith. https://t.co/GTOzUVnm5d — PolitiTweet.org

RT @iowahawkblog: Thank God for our vigilant journalists who saved us from a recession by redefining it — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Watching corporate journalists in real-time re-write the long-standing definition of "recession" -- all to protect the Biden WH and the Dems' mid-term elections prospects -- is one of the most shamelessly Orwellian scams we've seen from them in awhile. https://t.co/4ki7CTh4cu — PolitiTweet.org

Read this short Freddie deBoer essay on how liberal journalists defended Gawker when they got caught *fabricating* a false story because liberal journalists know their careers are *advanced* when they defend lies about people deemed enemies of liberalism. https://t.co/jT9idCMnrE — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is a good op-ed in the NYT by @scharap and @JyShapiro about the urgent need for the US, with the Ukrainians, to start directly negotiating a peace agreement with Russia. I don't agree with it all but it captures the dangers and futility of US policy. https://t.co/7AVAKtxdHn — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ushadrons The claim from these liberal journalists is that I was going to Las Vegas in two weeks to meet with journalists about some phone. I was just in Las Vegas 2 weeks ago for a different conference. So how am I "hiding out in Brazil," and from what am I hiding? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SillyPutty78 @evacide She's one of the least surprising people to me who is doing that. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@burg0o @TechJournalist @HowellONeill Exactly. Liberals -- and their journalists -- believe it's justified to spread lies about their political enemies without checking or verifying it first. You express perfectly the rotted liberal media mindset: if it's a bad person, just spread lies without checking. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BookCd @corintxt These journalists don't think their job is to check anything. Again, though, if I were someone in good standing with liberal ideology and the liberal faction, they wouldn't have spread it without checking. They believe their jobs are to lie about political enemies. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BookCd @thomdunn @corintxt Exactly. The fact that so many "journalists" think their job is to take PR pitches and just spread them around as Truth -- publish them and affirm them and attack someone based on it, all without checking -- says so much about the shitty profession and why nobody trusts it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@corintxt Journalists didn't just share the PR pitch (and I personally would not share PR pitches making extraordinary claims about someone without, you know, checking if it's true). Several of them affirmed it was true and criticized me for it. This is pathetic behavior to defend. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@thomdunn Everyone can see what you did. I hope this sort of performative chivalry masquerading as enlightened Allyship produces whatever benefits you think this is going to achieve for you, though I doubt it does. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@evacide Also, if I know nothing about digital security, you may -- aside from being resentful that Snowden came to me and not you -- ask your employer, a digital privacy group, why they lavished me with its highest award, saying this: https://t.co/EYZxw03YQb https://t.co/SJZO0tCtI6 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@evacide You just got caught blatantly lying -- in a way that's unsurprising -- and, while refusing to delete your lie or tell your followers it was a lie, you are now lecturing people about who they should and shouldn't take advice from. Maybe liars are a good person to eliminate first. — PolitiTweet.org
