@ZackKopplin @CommodoreBalzac If you dealt with this fixation you have on me -- analyzing my Twitter activity, monitoring my replies, using therapy or medication or some combo -- and instead focused on your own work, it's possible you could compile some accomplishments of your own like those listed there. — PolitiTweet.org

@StevenJCBuckley Maybe you could wait until you see the documentary before spending so much time denouncing and condemning the documentary? All the people attacking me today for attending the debut of a documentary are people who haven't seen the film. That's the American liberal for you. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@StevenJCBuckley Yes, Jones has been interviewed by the BBC, by NBC News, by countless major media corporations all over the world. Journalists don't just interview the good and nice people. I write about and interview things and people I find interesting, not just ones that make liberals happy. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@StevenJCBuckley I think the film, which you haven't seen, is excellent, made by a the same director who made the excellent "tfw no gf," and you have no idea what the film says or shows about Jones. — PolitiTweet.org

The Pulitzers exist to elevate and ennoble corporate journalism (with some prizes reserved for genuinely deserving local reporting). Of course they were going to reaffirm these awards: rescinding them would be tantamount to liberal heresy, regardless of what the evidence proved. — PolitiTweet.org

That Trump was controlled by the Kremlin became a religious-like conspiracy theory for elite liberalism. No facts could shake it: not Mueller charging *nobody* of that crime nor Trump repeatedly attacking vital Russian interests (eg, arming Ukraine, subverting Nord Stream 2). — PolitiTweet.org

@js_thrill My life is a rather vivid testament to the values I believe in, which is why it's impossible for nameless partisans like you to alter or affect that. I've always enjoyed debates and political disputes, and I do it when I have time, but character is determined by life actions. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ownsabicycle @darkerbrother52 Let's see...media outlets pay me to report on events and publish articles; publishing houses pay me to write books about political events; large numbers of journalism awards have been issued in my name; governments have tried to prosecute me for my reporting. Sounds like it fits. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@darkerbrother52 My work at the event isn't "unpaid." I'm a professional journalist, so I'm being paid to host the debut of the film and conduct the interviews associated with it. But my pay doesn't in any way depend on how many people do or don't attend the event or see the film. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@js_thrill I've always engaged random and nameless critics of my work online, from the time I first started writing about politics in 2005. It's how I built a community of readers; I periodically enjoy doing it; and I've been stuck in a car and banks most of the day, creating ample time. — PolitiTweet.org

@lemming_last @DavidManOnFire @StateDept @ABlinken I can help walk you through the exchange: David, a concerned patriot, stated I had failed to file legally required FARA forms regarding my work as a foreign agent, and asked if I had notified the US Govt of my failure. I responded that I had not, and asked him not to tell on me. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@cloudsplitter3 @JoeFreitag I would interview anyone of any significance or influence, including them. That's what a journalist does. It's why I've interviewed Evo Morales, AOC, Lula, Dilma, Ciro Gomes, Marina Silva, Chris Rufo, Chuck Todd, David Frum, a GITMO detainee, Noam Chomsky, Chris Hayes, etc. etc. — PolitiTweet.org

@ChiuauaTeardrop @evanbirnholz @js_thrill @nathanoseroff You're a liberal - just one of those kinds who likes DSA and so convinces yourself that you're not. https://t.co/fFiO77BfJh — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@js_thrill Liberalism is the dominant ideology in Washington, in media, in entertainment, in academia and many other influential sectors, so critiquing it is not only justifiable but necessary. The journalism I've done and its impact speaks for itself. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@darkerbrother52 Of course you can't. I have no ownership stake in the film, have no percentage investment in the event, and I don't make a penny more if the event if sold out or a penny less if nobody comes. The reason you can't explain your claim is because it's a lie. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@RealIvermectin I've been in the US 4 separate times in the last 3 months, including as recently as 48 hours ago. I'm a US citizen, grew up in the US, pay taxes to the US Govt, and am in the US constantly, so of course I'll comment on it. Otherwise, great point. https://t.co/Mx9TVqn0c1 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KostjaMarschke @trishanderton No, I can't see anyone who decides to criticize an interview that has not yet happened, or condemn a film they have not yet seen, despite the thousands of people doing exactly this today. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KostjaMarschke @BrianSoundFurey @DropBetweenDime Since the interview has not yet happened, none of the criticisms is about the kind of interview I conducted. It's about the fact that I'm attending the event at all. The critics say this explicitly, and obviously nobody sane can critique an interview that has not yet happened. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@darkerbrother52 Yes, since you're very smart and insightful, explain to me how I financially benefit from promoting the event. How do I receive more or less money based on whether I publicize the film's debut? Explain that to me. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@js_thrill These kinds of bold critiques are easy to make - especially for someone hiding behind anonymity whose life can't be examined for the values they tout - but I'll compare my life and work to anyone's for the presence of those values. Tweet-insults are easy, especially anonymously. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@js_thrill The entire day's worth of anger is about the fact that I'm interviewing him, not the content of the interview, since the interview has not yet happened. If people are purporting to critique the interview itself rather than the fact of the interview, then that's even dumber. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@evanbirnholz @js_thrill @nathanoseroff That's a false description of my interview of Rufo. It provoked lively fighting in my comment section from many who thought I was too aggressive with him. Liberals think a confrontational interview means calling someone a fascist over and over. I think that's worthless and dumb. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@youcrazyforthis @js_thrill I'm not appearing on his program. I'm appearing at the debut of a documentary about him by a filmmaker I think is great, who produced a provocative and illuminating film about why, in the context of our political culture, his work found such resonance. I think it's interesting. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

When I say that there are many, many liberal pundits and "media critics" who believe the corporate media is excessively critical of Dems and insufficiently harsh on the GOP, they think I'm kidding. I know it's shocking, but many of them - probably most - really do believe this: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@HumanError @MrHandy97218513 People who claim to be socialists but who are nothing more than DNC loyalists, unconditionally voting Dem but with an ironic and irritated posture. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@js_thrill I knew when I said yes to this event that it would cause exactly this anger and upset. There was nothing requiring me to promote it. I did it precisely to illustrate how liberals think. The idea that bad people shouldn't be interviewed is moronic to me and I enjoy engaging it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@unsafemedicine @LuizPersechini @AWindwardMaroon I rarely use YouTube. I'm not a YouTuber. I do print journalism, and my Substack subscription numbers are public and peak for themself. My videos, on the rare occasions I do them, are hosted on Rumble, where the audience size is quite large. https://t.co/MfovEJ5HCB — PolitiTweet.org

@TigrinhaPND @calif_liberal Mas ser entrevistado no Jovem Pan é bom? https://t.co/xhYBlG8xa7 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Pegg_Finkle @NegDiscountRt How did I financially benefit from promoting the event on Twitter? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KostjaMarschke @BrianSoundFurey @DropBetweenDime Obviously, interviewing Charles Manson has the potential to spread his ideas and cause him to inspire others. The same is true of interviewing Dick Cheney, or Bill Kristol, of Assad, or Tony Blair. But nobody would have a problem because, again, establishment sentiment says OK. — PolitiTweet.org
