I just lived through every right-wing journalist on the planet straight up licking the president's balls for four years but now some unknown NYT editor made a cringey post about having chills over the transfer of power so she has to be fired because it made Greenwald testy? What?
There are no objective journalists. They are all wrapped up in their own ideology and carefully curated personal baggage, Greenwald more so than most.
LOL are you kidding me, this is the most lib thing ever. This tweet is a parody of itself.
Let's make something really clear here. The villain here is not Greenwald. His selective belly-aching about partisan sycophants may be tiresome, but it's not outrageous. The villain here is the NYT.
People gave 20k+ likes to this tweet before she deleted her account. Unreal. The NYT upended her life because some MAGA weirdos foamed at the mouth after Fox picked up Greenwald's tweet. That's insane. Greenwald may happily feed the MAGA outrage machine, but the NYT did this.

MLK, Communism, the Highlander Folk School: How red-baiting continues to obscure the most potent elements of MLK’s message.
Many of you know the picture above, but fewer know where it was taken. It is the Highlander Folk School, a social justice leadership training school in Tennessee created to provide training and education for emerging left-wing movement leaders, primarily in the South.
Notable students include King, Septima Clark, Anne Braden, James Bevel, Hollis Watkins, Bernard Lafayette, Ralph Abernathy, and most of the leaders of SNCC.
I have to break down this entire Dan Crenshaw video because it's completely insane. I can't believe nobody told me about it. And how is it not big news right now? So it starts with Dan giving a speech. But he's interrupted because he's needed for a special mission.
I know a guy who got fired by a real estate company because he tweeted a lot about video games and his boss thought that was weird. I know a woman who was fired by an IT consulting firm because she was stripper in college. This story about your freak friend isn't compelling.
This promising young lad recently lost his job as Augusto Pinochet's uniform polisher and now he's unemployable in high-profile positions, please help.
Look, I don't want to split hairs but the guy was proposing that right-wing death squads murdering rioters might be a good thing, for political ends. What do you want me to call that? Just give me a word and I'll use it. If it's "liberal," ok, but that seems weird.
Like, I'm sensitive to this "everyone you don't like is a nazi" thing, I get it, but when a guy starts musing about how bona-fide nazis "have his blessing" to start mowing down rioters, it's absurd to have a public scolding about using the term nazi as a form of ridiculing that.
When someone gives their blessing to nazis murdering people in the BLM unrest and I can't say "fuck off with that nazi shit," then what purpose does the word serve? Just put it in a museum. It has no colloquial content.
