Wow, did you see this @ggreenwald? I know you wouldn't want to miss this, as you've staked your extremely good reputation on it, so you will probably want to comment on this. Glenn Greenwald.
His response is going to be something like, "there is STILL no evidence that he was bashed over the head with a fire extinguisher, which has become a liberal piety, further proving that they did not murder him, he just died the next day from natural causes'
OK, sometimes "mistakes" are made. This is a huge one. Will be there be any self-critique?
What a hill for a journalist to choose to die on (no pun intended).

Has you know who flipped his shit over this or is he still tweeting about Taylor Lorenz & defending his buddy Tucker?
Just pathetic. Not even vaguely interesting. Like a drunk guy sitting on a street corner, rocking back and forth repeating the same thing over & over...for 5 years now. Sad.
They've already tried to make "Joe goes home to Delaware" more of a thing than they did Mar A Lago. They fully accepted that "Winter White House" bullshit.
A 1.9T covid relief package should be a huge cause for celebration for anyone who believes that govt should help vulnerable people, especially during covid. But people like Katie have built their entire worldview & podcast incoe stream on "Dems bad", so rather than celebrate,
they're miserable and picking nits about some headline for their patreon viewer-base to get all riled up about because "Lib'rul media bias." Sad.
At the risk of putting forth a pretty 'centristy' take- I think Lorenz is pretty bad at her job & also the people who obsessively hate her are mostly gamergate-style creeps, who are objectively worse.
Also, Glenn is just a terrible person. The absolute worst.
Glenn always reduces everything to 'mean tweets', despite him given examples, time after time, of it being way more than that. Because he has to downplay any harassment/abuse from his buddies, directed at people who criticize him.
Also, Glenn a literal millionaire 'journalist', who was just handed the story that made him rich, who lives in a gated mansion in Rio, overlooking the poors, claiming others don't have real perspective is the most *spider man pointing gif* shit ever.
The funniest part is all these same people were practically calling Pelosi a murderer bc she didn't take McConnell's awful pre-election offer. People needed relief immediately!
And now......we have no choice but to block the relief bill. People must suffer. It's the only way.
"Sory, I don't make the rules." I am merely just a sociopath who somehow gets paid to post my psychotic, self-righteous twitter rants in longform on a website called The Daily Poster.
It wouldn't be a true David Sirota brain dropping (meltdown) without the extremely normal constant self martyrdom. You have no clue how much he has to suffer, but it is right & righteous, and he will bravely do it for you, the people. No one sacrifices more than David Sirota.
The thing about this is if you've paid attention to Glenn, he's been trying to make these RW Nazi figures more palatable to his audience for years now. It's why he only talks about the 'positive' things Tucker says. Of course, bc he is a coward, he almost never says it like this.
It is the most obvious thing on Earth. He will post endlessly about the bad of their opponent (ie. Macron) & only pull out the 'good' things that Nazis like Le Pen say. And then when you call him on his obvious preference for Le Pen (or Trump) he will get all, "HOW DARE YOU!!!!"
Anyway, remember when it was revealed that Steve Bannon had a contact at The Intercept and then everyone point the finger at the obvious culprit. And Glenn, knowing he was caught, didn't even deny it just got all indignant (and WHATABOUT his contacts at other outlets?).
