Oh my god, they're outside with no masks and are a few feet apart. The horror! This to me, reveals all that is bankrupt with western politics! "Low IQ virtue signaling!"

The anti-Lib (but don't call me a Republican how dare you) contrarians are just so ridiculously dumb.
"Nothing is undermining confidence and faith in the efficacy of the vaccine like this behavior" I say as my friend, the guy whose show I appear on 5 times a week is literally pushing dangerous anti-vaxx nonsense, designed to undermine confidence in the vaccine.
"This is how they behave when they believe no one is watching," I say about this video with 2 million views, that Macron tweeted out himself, to his over 7 million followers. lol
One consistent thing Glenn has done going back years is a very intentional appropriation of a term/charge that Dems/media are levvying at the GOP, to try to turn it into a thing that #actually the Dems are doing. (See: what he did with 'fake news')
*As Fox News puts out daily anti-vaxx messaging, alongside GOP pols*
Actually, it's the Dems who are undermining confidence in the vaccine b/c uhh a few ppl wont to still wear masks or some world leaders slightly distanced themselves. That's the *real* anti-vaxx messaging, to me.
This is not undermining confidence in the vaccine. No sir. It's actually the libs who i hate.
People are pointing that my original point was not only dumb as shit but 100% factually wrong, but nevertheless, it doesn't change anything and I am still right.

So I listened to this whilst doing the dishes & there were 2 interesting things I learned:

1. The author tried to contact Yashar several times & was completely ignored. Until he messaged a celebrity who donated to his venmo & then within like 20 min, Yashar contacted his editor.
2. Yashar got them to delay publishing the piece several times until they reached a point where they finalized a date they were going through with it. It was at that point that Yashar's TL took a 'dark' turn with all the mental health/suicide talk (make of that what you will),
which caused them to re-evaluate wrt to the ethics of it, but they ultimately decided that it was the correct thing to do.

"Obtained data on." LOL
Glenn when it can be blamed on someone he doesn't like (a lib): OH MY GOD! THIS IS SOME OF THE MOST ORWELLIAN GOVERMENT SPYING IN HISTORY. ABUSE OF PRIVACY THE LIKES WE'VE NEVER SEEN!

Glenn when it's Trump & the targets are someone he hates: The government obtained their data.
tl;dr- they deserved it bc they were mean to Trump (who I do not support)

It's extremely funny when people pretend that Glenn is still 'principled.'

When the govt says something favorable to Trump/his worldview: Definitive proof! Debunked! Trump innocent!

Whe the govt says something (fairly obvious) that goes against his narratives: NO PROOF!
Also another 'principled' thing he does that's hilarious is if there's a story that advances his narratives, he sees it immediately. He had a 10-tweet thread & a full article written in less than an hour of this coming out.

Meanwhile, if it goes against his narrative...crickets.

So I finally got around to reading the Yashar piece (not even going to do a 'Y*shar' since the last time I tried that, he found/screenshotted it in less than 10 min) & my recommendation is, if you were hesitating, definitely read it. It's really good. lamag.com/mag-features/y…
I thought of Yashar as some sort of irritating, rich fail-son, who was a massive celebrity clout chaser that would just shamelessly seek attention (much of which was just blatant bait like, 'omg anyone who likes avocado is just wrong.' & 'The Beatles are so basic. Don't @ me.')
(And btw I believed he was the rich, fail-son of some wealthy Iranian family, because he led everyone to believe that. In reality, his parents both work(ed) at the Univ. of Illinois, which tbh is much cooler but I guess didn't fit the 'image' he was going for.)

The accepted narrative among political journalists after 2016 (based really on nothing but Bernie being the only alternative to Clinton) was that everyone hated the Dems & that the Bernie Left was going to take over. Outside of a few scattered mostly low-turnout primaries,
almost none of that came true. Surprisingly, all that talk of "Knee Bending" and "Libs Crying (when Bernie wins) really doesn't have any constituency outside of Brooklyn Left Twitter.

Glenn is of course doubling down on spreading disinformation. He knows exactly what the issue is- the guy posted the full clip alongside a summary ('Gay says she was disgusted by the sight of the American flag') which was just a straight up lie.
And then all the news outlets, like the ones he loves to appear on, ran with it as 'Libs say the American flag is repulsive'. So of course, Glenn is lying himself, when he accuses others of lying about his friend, the RW disinformation spreader. Same as it ever was.
It really does seem that Glenn is at the forefront of literally every single bad faith/out of context RW smear campaign against the media these days.
