@NathanJRobinson You're now too attached to the liberal klout and Twitter show to acknowledge context or error. I just showed you countless examples where I promoted left dissent on Ukraine, and explained the context of the Hawley tweet, yet you still can't admit your accusation was false. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

We're about to publish a video, brilliantly produced by @0rf, showing Nicolle Wallace -- all the way back to her Bush/Cheney days to now -- is the Typhoid Mary of disinformation. Nobody spreads it more. To hear calls for criminalization of disinformation on *her show* is amazing. — PolitiTweet.org

Here's the 1982 ruling in NAACP v. Claiborne: the case I've cited most over the years to reject holding people (such as imams/CAIR) responsible for the violence carried out by followers. The Wallace/Scarbrough/Frum-led liberal sect of course rejects this: https://t.co/c1ePHbUa7c — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In the late 60s and 70s, the State of Mississippi tried to hold local NAACP leaders liable for the violent acts of their followers, claiming thy "incited" the violence through their angry rhetoric. In 1982, the Supreme Ct unanimous ruled in favor of NAACP: would violate 1A. Now: — PolitiTweet.org

@i_ma_follower @NathanJRobinson I've spent the week writing and speaking about the unity of Democratic Party lawmakers supporting this $40b atrocity, including the Squad, and how the only NO votes are from GOP. That's the obvious context. I've repeatedly - over and over - highlighted left dissent on Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NathanJRobinson Here's more of my promoting left voices dissenting from US/NATO consensus on Ukraine. I've been doing it for months. The tweet to which you responded was about lawmakers voting on this $40b. But you have to see you're lying when saying I don't promote left dissent on Ukraine: https://t.co/ylFu7CHX3z — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NathanJRobinson If you were being even minimally honest, Nathan, you would look at these and immediately retract as a lie your claim that I haven't promoted left-wing voices expressing dissent on Ukraine. I have constantly, including your magazine: https://t.co/DGIRKhesbz — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NathanJRobinson I've repeatedly re-tweeted, promoted and cited left voices on Ukraine. I've posted multiple Chomsky videos from the start. I've cited Yanis Varoufakis and Melenchon. And I've even re-tweeted you/CA and Jacobin. So the only lie is that I don't cite left-wing voices on Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NathanJRobinson Do you know who Josh Hawley is? He's not a media figure. He's an elected official in Congress. And that's the context of my tweet: the entire Dem Party and Squad are fully united in support of Biden's war package and policy. The only dissent is found in the right-wing GOP wing. — PolitiTweet.org

@redsteeze Gigantic mystery. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Indeed, Jankowicz has a very long history of defending Lorenz and expressing solidarity for the trauma Lorenz suffers when her work is criticized. That's almost certainly where Lorenz got her version of events and seems like it should be disclosed when Lorenz defends Jankowicz. https://t.co/R49NHCQ3RZ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Also seems odd that WPost allowed @TaylorLorenz (who, credit where due, broke the story of the DHS "pause") to write an entire article arguing Nina Jankowicz should be off-limits from criticism, without mentioning Jankowicz argued the same about Lorenz: https://t.co/Sh6mzcKRe0 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Without having the US Government's Department of Homeland Security have a Disinformation Board run by Nina Jankowicz to decree truth and falsity, how will we know what we should believe and not believe? How can a democracy function without DHS telling us what is true and false? — PolitiTweet.org

@Maro53947712 @davidson_dylan @BeamerCecil I never received a single penny from any cable outlet in my life. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In sum, a free press exists to unmask and punish private citizens with the wrong politics ("shoe-lace reporting"), not to investigate and scrutinize the beliefs, conduct and claims of powerful government officials ("harassment" and bullying). — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Summary of the rules from the WPost and @TaylorLorenz in case you're confused: -- High-level officials of the Department of Homeland Security: off-limits from investigation and criticism! -- Anonymous citizens who tweet bad ideologies: Dox, Unmask, Bang on relatives' doors! https://t.co/mt1MIRtXZb — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Investigating and criticizing a Homeland Security official is now "harassment" and bullying, according to the WashPost and @TaylorLorenz. Only ordinary citizens can be investigated -- not high-level US Security State operatives. Them's the rules: https://t.co/rtHpupbeMw — PolitiTweet.org

@Peter27934330 @BeamerCecil Why are you defending this blatant lie broadcast on MSNBC? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Peter27934330 @BeamerCecil He said 78% of all murders in the US from 2010-2019 were by white supremacists. It's not just wrong, but laughably, radically and blatantly false. That's all there is to it. No matter how much you and other MSNBC-loving liberals stomp your feet all day, it will still be false. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Peter27934330 @BeamerCecil "I concede he may have been wrong about the exact statistic but ..." LOL - liberals love NBC News' disinformation. I don't care how angry it makes liberals. I'm a journalist and when "news outlets" broadcast blatant fabrications, I'll point it out. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's a cause of momentary celebration that the Department of Homeland Security was forced by popular anger to "pause" its Disinformation Board and the absurd #Resistance cartoon they hired to run it, but read this to see how angry WPost and @TaylorLorenz are that this happened: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Peter27934330 @BeamerCecil How can your brain be this broken? The claim of the MSNBC guest was that 78% of all murders in the US from 2010-2019 are committed by white supremacists. It's a claim so stupid and false that only an idiot would believe it, but since someone did, I showed the FBI data. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@marie_persinger @BeamerCecil The lying MSNBC guest's claim was that 78% of all murders in the US from 2010-2019 are committed by white supremacists, making 2018 a quite relevant year for showing what a blatant lie that is. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MrTooDamnChris @BeamerCecil It's the official crime statistics of the FBI, making clear how fucking laughable is the claim from this MSNBC guest that 78% of murders in the US are committed by white supremacists. Your entire worldview depends on lying so you're upset when facts are presented. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@davidson_dylan @BeamerCecil I used to be a big fan of outright lying by giant media corporations such as NBC News and then I changed my mind and decided I didn't like it. — PolitiTweet.org

@BeamerCecil You believe that 78% of murders in the US are committed by white supremacists? 🤣 https://t.co/99FMvNL74g https://t.co/18cMjPJerW — PolitiTweet.org

If a political party convinces itself its opponents are actual Nazis led by Hitler, it's not just expected but inevitable it will embrace extremist authoritarian weapons: -- mass internet censorship -- a new domestic War on Terror -- Homeland Security "Disinformation Board" etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, fine, maybe this isn't pleasant, but some journalists get mean tweets from anonymous random people on Twitter! https://t.co/Gex3WG4bAd https://t.co/umiTm6rrVD — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

How do you put a professor on a news show, hear him trumpet how vital "data" is for understanding the world, and then have him say that from "2010-2019, white supremacists were responsible for 78% of the murders in America" and not burst out in laughter or at least correct him? — PolitiTweet.org
