The U.S. Inability To Count Votes is a National Disgrace. And Dangerous.

greenwald.substack.com/p/the-us-inabi…
"Nations far poorer and less technologically advanced -- including Brazil -- have no problem holding quick, efficient elections. A system suffused with this much chaos, error, protracted outcomes and seemingly inexplicable reversals will sow doubt even among rational citizens."
Is the polling industry and the media's data gurus who feed off of it going to gaslight everyone again and unite to insist that there's absolutely nothing wrong with their craft and that anyone who suggests this is just ignorant, uneducated and irrational?
Os brasileiros devem se oferecer para enviar observadores e professores aos EUA para instruir o governo dos EUA sobre como ter eleições e contagem de votos eficientes e confiáveis. 🇧🇷🇧🇷

Heavy is the head that wears the journalist hat:
In all seriousness, I'm glad that a group of people which inspires so much trust and confidence across the political spectrum and across the country - the national media - has anointed itself responsible for declaring the winner of the election.

That should calm everyone down.
Not sure why everyone is mad at the NYT for arrogating unto itself the right and solemn duty to declare the winner of the election. It says right in the Constitution that this is who does it.

Agradeço muito essa ótima entrevista com @AttuchLeonardo e @TerezaCruvinel. Discutimos todas as questões sobre minha renúncia do The Intercept, as eleições de 2020, a política no Brasil e nos Estados Unidos e, acima de tudo, o papel do jornalismo.

Quero postar 3 partes onde respondo: por que você publicaria informações incriminatórias sobre Biden? Isso significa que você quer que Trump vença? Parte I:

My Resignation From The Intercept

The same trends of repression, censorship and ideological homogeneity plaguing the national press generally have engulfed the media outlet I co-founded, culminating in censorship of my own articles.

greenwald.substack.com/p/my-resignati…
"The final, precipitating cause is that The Intercept’s editors censored an article I wrote this week, refusing to publish it unless I remove all sections critical of Joe Biden, the candidate vehemently supported by all Intercept editors involved in this effort at suppression."
"But the pathologies, illiberalism, and repressive mentality that led to the bizarre spectacle of my being censored by my own media outlet are ones that are not unique to The Intercept."

I'll be doing my journalism at Substack for now. Subscribe here:

Social media popularity and viral clout is such a powerful drug — it’s literally a drug: it’s constructed that way — that some people will say and do absolutely anything to obtain the next hit.

I mean just look at this. What else could drive someone to do something like this???
Navarro evidently ultimately said she was voting for Clinton but she used the airwaves to legitimize frivolous write-in votes for saying on CNN that she would vote for her mom:
This is what @ananavarro was saying one month before the 2016 election. Now she’s acting like those who followed her advice are the root of all evil:

This is Vladimir Herzog, a Jewish immigrant to Brazil who fled anti-Semitism in Croatia during WW2 & became a prominent journalist. 45 years ago today, he was murdered by the US/UK-supported military regime, which then released a fabricated photo to claim he committed suicide. 
The military regime that murdered Herzog came to power when CIA worked with right-wing Brazilian generals to overthrow the democratically elected President in 1964. They ruled for 21 years, torturing & killing many dissidents, including Herzog. @dilmabr was one of those tortured.
It was Herzog’s rabbi who bravely blew the whistle by quickly obtaining his body & revealing that he had been tortured to death during interrogation. That was a key spark that led Brazilians to rise up against the US/UK-supported dictatorship & force re-democratization in 1985.

One of the clearest and most important sentences you'll read, showing how US media really works, from WashPost op-ed by @RidT:

** "We must treat the Hunter Biden leaks as if they were a foreign intelligence operation — even if they probably aren't." **

washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/1…
This is absolutely how mainstream US outlets think: exactly what is said there by Rid (one of those centrist Professor outlets use to elevate their unhinged conspiracy theories with a facade of expertise):

*We have no idea if this conspiracy is true, but we will say it anyway.* Image
There is no question -- none -- that mainstream US news outlets disseminate more unhinged, unproven conspiracy theories -- and do far more damage with them -- than QAnon, or whichever fringe group they want you to focus on, can achieve in 1,000 years.
