@TanaGaneva Anyway, the progressive media figures I'm talking about are the ones who aren't so gullible and propagandized as to think the US fights wars for benevolent ends. They're the ones who oppose the US role in Ukraine but are afraid to criticize the Squad for supporting it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TanaGaneva LOL. Yes, everyone knows the way to fight wars of aggression and defend human rights is to give billions without end to Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and the CIA. This is exactly what was said to justify the Vietnam War: the US is benevolently fighting North Vietnamese aggression. — PolitiTweet.org

@MarkNyes I have never cared *why* a politician does the right thing, only that they do. I believe that many Dem politicians and pundits who opposed the Iraq War did so only because it was a GOP President and they represented liberal districts (<cough>Obama<cough>): it was still right. — PolitiTweet.org

@Steve_in_TO It's a fact that most of the $40b goes to weapons manufacturers and the CIA. This is what Cori Bush said when explaining her YES vote: https://t.co/rUjOanVb9A — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

What makes this subject infinitely more uncomfortable for progressive media figures who say they're against US involvement in Ukraine is the only elected officials willing to ask questions or dissent are right-wing members of the GOP. This fact is shattering to their world-view. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The lengths to which progressive media figures have gone to avoid having to directly criticize the Squad for unanimously voting for Biden's $40b war package to Raytheon and CIA is amazing to behold. They will literally talk about anything to avoid having to address this. — PolitiTweet.org

@TemujinSubodai He was also a huge fan of Rachel Maddow and all of his animating views were ones shared by Chait and other standard DNC pundits. https://t.co/u57Fw2J4C7 — PolitiTweet.org

@MsMet5 Jon Chait isn't my friend and I'm not defending his hateful rhetoric. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Jonathan Chait repeatedly used NY Magazine and MSNBC to insist that Trump and his GOP allies were traitors to the country, fascists, white nationalists and Russian assets -- *exactly* the ideas that drove James Hodgkinson to spree-shoot and almost murder Steve Scalise. — PolitiTweet.org

The Homeland Security Disinformation Board died at the exactly the same tragically young age as CNN+: 22 days. Apr. 27-May 18, 2022: #RIP It's a bad two months for agents of disinformation masquerading as anti-disinformation crusaders. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @redsteeze: False. This is dangerous transphobia being pushed by The NY Times. https://t.co/QU2x1C8wQU — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

What, specifically, is the "DHS's work" when it comes to disinformation? Do they decide what is and is not disinformation? Do they use specific powers to "combat" it? It's not just the new Board itself that is unclear. DHS's entire role in all of this is unclear - and creepy. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@WobblyLeft @NathanJRobinson Nathan knows that's the point. He just doesn't want to criticize the Squad for supporting such a dangerous and grotesque war bill, especially when the only Congressional opposition comes from the right -- this fact is shattering to his worldview and his readers' -- hence this. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Is this specific point about entering a new war -- all without a vote to be in a war or a Congressional or public debate about whether we should be in a new war, this one with a nuclear-armed Russia -- a valid point? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Mainstream liberal journalists see the US Security State (CIA/DHS/FBI/NSA) as benign, their allies, not a menace or threat that needs constant adversarial scrutiny and skepticism. They worked hand-in-hand with those agencies to undermine Trump. That's where this fraud came from: https://t.co/9RvbackhQL — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Shaming Fox News for talking a lot about the incredibly authoritarian and creepy announcement that Homeland Security was going to start monitoring and decreeing Truth and Falsity, while taking pride that your outlets either cheered it or didn't care. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

How incredibly weird that a news outlet would be concerned by the US Security State creating a new Board to decree Truth and Falsity, to be run by a partisan cartoon. Real Journalists would cheer the government for helping us know what to think, or mock it as not a big deal: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

My other favorite part of this clip is how they act like they discovered some grand epiphany, some never-before-unearthed insight, by demanding Dems call the GOP "racists" when the only 2 rhetoric tactics Dems have had since 2015 is: 1) You're racist! 2) You're a Kremlin agent! — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@kdrum Thanks, Kevin. I feel you're overestimating my power to influence the viewing choices of young Americans Dems but I often have a problem with excess humility so maybe you're right. If so, I'm saving many from insane disinformation and advocacy of censorship and militarism. — PolitiTweet.org

"Surprise! Tucker Carlson Draws the Most Democratic Viewers in Key Demo, Even Topping Rachel Maddow" https://t.co/8uGI2u4qSU [MSNBC will need another explanation for his leading popularity beyond: "old white Republican men are racists"] — PolitiTweet.org

"Of those [younger] viewers surveyed who identified as Democrats, 39% chose Fox News, 31% chose MSNBC and 30% chose CNN from 8 p.m. ET to 11 p.m. ET. In total-day viewership, Fox News grabbed 42% of Democrats aged 25-54, CNN nabbed 33% and MSNBC got 25%." https://t.co/8uGI2u4qSU — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@laura_hofreiter @NathanJRobinson No. I asked for examples of prominent left with media voices who criticized the Squad for their unanimous vote in support of Biden's $40b Ukraine war package. Are you aware of any? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The other bizarre aspect of the Nina-Jankowicz/@TaylorLorenz saga: Taylor depicts this poor, marginalized DHS official as the victim of "right-wing" disinformation, when the most devastating investigative piece on her was this one last week in @TheNation: https://t.co/kkDOmQ3dOg — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@WobblyLeft @NathanJRobinson I'm curious about this, too. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@laura_hofreiter @NathanJRobinson How many examples do I need to post of my using my platform to promote and herald left-wing voices dissenting on Ukraine -- including Nathan's own magazine -- before it sinks in in people's brains that I have promoted left-wing dissent on Ukraine? How many more are needed? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NathanJRobinson While I have you, though, can you point me to which prominent left media voices have criticized the Squad for their unanimous support for Biden's $40b Ukraine war package? — PolitiTweet.org
