Find you something in life that fills you with as much pure glee Glenn Greenwald gets cheering on True Progressives ratf*cking Liberals in order to elect Right Wingers. Nothing makes the man happier (He's tweeted about this at least 40 times in the past 3 days)
And let's check in with the True Progressive guy he's cheering on's campaign. Wow. Progressive.
Glenn's spin: "A Muslim voter confronted the labour candidate over support for LGBT issues"

What actually happened: A virulent homophobe accosted her for being pro gay rights.

And of course you know which side Glem took...the one that owns the libs, of course.
Anything else going on on Glenn's new favorite True Progressive. Oh cool. Just more normal Progressive stuff.
Glenn, a gay jew, will happily defend/side with vile anti-semitic holocaust deniers and anti-gay bigots, because the 'principle' that trumps all of that in Glenn's book is owning the Libs. Literally nothing matters more to Mr. Principled Journalist.
The other thing that is noticeable is that Glenn's defense for the past decade+ for just completely ignoring the abuses of the countries he defends (ie. Russia, PUTIN) is that he only focuses on his own govt (insert Chomsky quote) but Glenn constantly talks about UK politics.
Shockingly another Glem 'principle' that he is completely full of shit on and selectively ignores whenever he feels like it. Bold.

One of the most evil men in modern history. If anything, this election made 2016 seem quaint in the realms of disinformation. Image
People ask, 'how could voters believe Dems have positions that they don't actually believe?' Well it's because the GOP bombarded them with lies about Dems and there's just not a great answer for such weaponized shamelessness. Truth just does not work.
The GOP (and its wealthy financial backers) have basically weaponized disinformation/lies to a completely unprecedent degree. And with the rise of technology are able to pump it out completely unchallenged (especially since social media outlets have completely given up).

2016 Leftism: Healthcare is a Human Right
2024 Leftism: Baconators are a Human Right
There is no way to sustain yourself without fast food. Without McChickens, the Average American (which I am obviously a part of) would simply starve.

So the NYT politics guys did a Reddit AMA several days ago. This was the top upvoted post. And then the extremely predictable (point proving) response.
Image

And the predictably smug/condescending follow-up Image
Needless to say, they were heavily down-voted and deluged with (acurate) negative comments like these

#factcheck: Hamas is not keeping the hostages to rape them, they are just raping the hostages they are keeping for unrelated other reasons.

What....is even going on anymore? Image
I just don't understand why certain people feel the need to downplay Hamas' awfulness. It's not that hard to say that Hamas is an evil terrorist group, while also believing that innocent people do not deserve to die because of it.

Yup, I was right. Thought @latimes was a respectable publication and not Intercept Jr. but I guess I was mistaken. This is unserious behavior.

Again, contra the lame "oh so you blindly trust the US govt" line from the above uhh journalists, the actual things to weigh:
Side 1- Israeli govt, US govt, every open-source analyst on this site & most importantly, the fact that the hospital was not destroyed
Side 2- Hamas' word
So yeah, I guess it's a real he-said, she-said if you just ignore everything but the competing government claims & also only pretend that the USG/Israel's 'lies' matter and not the fact that the initial claims by Hamas of the hospital being destroyed & 500-1000 dead, were a lie.

A lot of people I respect really, really showed their asses. And if they want to be able to maintain any sort of 'high ground' when it comes to journalistic integrity, really should at least make a basic statement that they got out over their skis.
And of course a lot of people who I don't really respect, but I don't expect them to ever admit they were wrong. Because that's just not what people do #onhere.
I'm not slightly 'gloating'. This entire site & almost all of the media falsely/uncritically ran with a characterization that relied solely on Hamas' word and created a major international incident. Sorry, if you don't think that deserves to be called out.
