@Chaz_Manadu How many examples do I need to show you of my calling out people on the right (who aren't "rhinos") for you to acknowledge your claim is false? — PolitiTweet.org

What makes it even funnier that AOC pretended to be handcuffed here: just last week she claimed she almost slapped her catcaller but then realized she "needed to catch a vote more than a case today" -- as if she were worried about adding to her notoriously long rap sheet:✊ — PolitiTweet.org

The case of NYC bodega worker Jose Alba -- a Dominican immigrant charged with murder after stabbing a customer who attacked him -- was covered almost entirely by conservative media, which relentlessly demanded the charges be dropped on self-defense grounds. Now they have been: — PolitiTweet.org

Really interesting NYT article on the extremely mixed feelings about abortion among Black Americans, and how this requires Dem Party leaders to radically change their tone and messaging when speaking about the issue to Black audiences: https://t.co/JTqFUFixkl — PolitiTweet.org

Many other world leaders have pointed that it's a bit difficult to take seriously lectures from the US and UK about press freedom while they are on their second decade of keeping one of the West's most consequential journalists, Julian Assange, in various forms of detention. — PolitiTweet.org

Systemic misogyny and sexism pervade the workplace at The @NewYorker, one of its staffers, an archive editor, lays out at great length. Women who object to it are then relentlessly punished by management for doing so. Quite a contrast with the public branding of the magazine: — PolitiTweet.org

@Pinkham_Artemis Journalists interview George Bush despite illegally invading and destroying Iraq and instituting a worldwide torture regime. They interview Assad, Putin, Bill Kristol, John Brennan and Charles Manson. The job of journalists is to examine and help understand, not propagandize. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Pinkham_Artemis That you think it's odd or disturbing for journalists to interview all sorts of influential people -- rather than confining themselves to people in good standing in left-liberal political circles -- says a great deal about left-liberal culture and nothing about me. — PolitiTweet.org

Dem partisans absolutely love and adore members of marginalized groups...if and only if they fulfill their overarching duty and purpose in life of pledging unconditional loyalty to their Party. But if they refuse, the attacks are invariably shaped by the ugliest age-old tropes. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's impossible to overstate the intensity of racism and other forms of bigotries Democratic Party loyalists harbor toward members of the marginalized groups which they believe they own but who fail to properly submit. The ugly vitriol that exploded here is common: — PolitiTweet.org

@AubreyBelford @thor_benson @ZackKopplin Obviously I'm no Aubrey Belford -- who among us can match your record of towering journalistic bravery and pioneering work? -- but I still feel like I've done a few things in my career worthy of note. Not really fair to hold others to your high bar before being deemed credible. — PolitiTweet.org

"Advisers to the U.S. Homeland Security Department said there was no need for the Disinformation Governance Board created by President Joe Biden's administration earlier this year." Clearly. But many indications are it's just been shifted elsewhere: https://t.co/vg42oBo3Lw — PolitiTweet.org

@KevinMcNamee9 @thor_benson @ZackKopplin I realize liberals see gay men as pedophiles, predators and groomers, but you're maligning my long-term marriage to my husband, a 37-year-old Congressman who has made quite clear what he thinks of bigoted Westerners like you who depict him as a dumb, manipulated sex toy and dupe. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@AubreyBelford @thor_benson @ZackKopplin Journalists interview not just good liberals but also bad people and everyone in between. Jones has been interviewed by NBC News, the BBC and countless large global news outlets. If you don't comprehend this about journalism, you probably shouldn't expect much from your work. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ZackKopplin @thor_benson I wrote two books on the methods we used to verify the archives of two of the most important stories in modern western journalism: the Snowden and Brazil exposés. I can't really tutor you on Twitter but if you buy those books, the lessons are in there. Will be happy to sign them. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden is so widely and intensely unpopular that even his handling of Ukraine -- long an issue that united large majorities of Americans -- is now disapproved of by a majority of Americans (46% approve, 52% disapprove). Kamala's approval rating down to 32% (!). — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

"Among people of color, 45% now approve of Biden's overall performance, down from 54% in the spring. That decline includes a 6-point dip among Black adults and a 9-point decline among Hispanic adults." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@thor_benson @ZackKopplin That's why I had you blocked. I just unblocked you because I saw you uniting in petty personal jealousies with that other envious zero, and don't believe in speaking ill of someone from behind a block. You'll be returned to the invisibility to which you're well-accustomed shortly — PolitiTweet.org

@thor_benson @ZackKopplin Not just jealous: also cowardly, inconsequential and bereft of journalistic accomplishments. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@thor_benson @ZackKopplin The reason so many corporate journalists want to see Julian Assange in prison is because his existence shames them with his courage and accomplishments they could never hope to get near - same reason you two are united, stewing in such petty jealousy: https://t.co/mxyzrVqlRb — PolitiTweet.org

@Kardeshev1 @scottjblair @FerdinandGriff4 The world's stupidest fucking people can't comprehend that interviewing someone doesn't signify one agrees with anything let alone everything they've done. This is what corporate media has done to people: dissent-free TV makes their dumb consumers think this is what journalism is — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JoeandBullish What "costs" are you there for you to sit in the US and attack leaders of foreign countries far away from you, instead of attacking the leaders of your own countries as I have done? Nothing is cheaper, or more worthless, than what you're doing. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@PetStuff4 You're a banal Democrat who created this new account 8 weeks ago strictly to attacks critics of Democrats and Biden. You think I take orders about who I can and can't interview from people like you? https://t.co/4ZP47AlDKB — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@scottjblair @FerdinandGriff4 LOL. Why pretend? Your whole timeline is just standard liberalism, filled with angry replies to me for being mean to Democrats and Biden. You didn't just wake up today and decide: OK, interviewing Alex Jones: respect lost. And even if you had, who cares? https://t.co/2FQNXRaeTU — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The problem for CNN and MSNBC is they've conditioned their liberal audience not to tolerate criticisms of Dems. Ask them: on the rare occasion they do it, they see the audience disappear in real time. Biden is boring, so fixating on Trump becomes their only choice. https://t.co/tSaQf0gztO — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One reason a free media is necessary, at least in theory, is that it serves as an oppositional force, an adversarial check, to the current government. But it's rather difficult to serve that function when most media outlets fixate almost entirely on the prior president: — PolitiTweet.org

@StevenJCBuckley Let me guess: If I were to interview George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Tony Blair, Bill Kristol, David Frum, Robert Mueller, John Brennan, Leon Panetta, Samantha Power, David Cameron -- all of whom have done far more damage in the world than Jones -- you'd be fine with it, right? — PolitiTweet.org
