Won't somebody think of poor, impoverished Steve Bannon.
Satiate the sadistic liberal mob's thirst for retribution.
The thing is, when Glem gets a narrative (in this case, it's a bunch of poor, salt-of-the-earth people who were protesting and then it got a little out of hand and are now being persecuted by Dems), he just doesn't even make an attempt to fit reality into it.
Maybe at the beginning you could argue that they were 'just' going after the individual insurrectionists but that's clearly not at all what's happening, given the targets like Mick Mulvaney and Bannon. But Glem is a wholly disingenuous person who doesn't let reality get in the/
way of his narratives. So he just keeps on repeating the same narratives, no matter how fact-free they actually are. And he will just keep on doing so until the end of time. Because that's how you do real, bold journalism.

It's amazing how all of these guys are just full-on, not even slightly veiled, Right Wingers. There was of course no times where Taibbi wrote about the Trump family's audacious, smash-and-grab, corruption. But Hunter's laptop proves that the REAL corrupt family is the Bidens.
BTW, I am a LW journalist and not a Trump supporter.
I know it's probably better not to spread this shit, but man...it takes a special kind of psychologically damaged person to make a death 'condolence' statement a self-victimization at their own media coverage. Just truly the most fcked up person alive.
You're the editor of a major political publication. You know that word choices matter. Especially when it comes to headlines. "Missing in action" is clearly a negative connotation to everyone reading, especially when juxtaposed with a 'bad' thing he seemingly should be handling.
I'm a little late to this but it's absolutely hilarious how transparent the Whistleblower/Transparency 'journalists' are in dismissing & attacking any whistleblower who cuts against their narratives (aka does not attack Dems).
OH MY GOD! The (highly-educated) woman who works in tech is a liberal? Well, this changes everything. She is wholly discredited now because....uhh reasons. The only 'correct' type of whistleblowers are the ones who support Donald Trump (unlike me, who does not support Trump).
Wow, someone potentially, maybe might profit from their leaks? Better ignore the substance then. It's important to personalize it.
And btw, Glem is DISGUSTED that anyone might make money off of leaks. He would never think to do such a thing.
It's actually against the constitution for congress to investigate anything that I've already declared I was right about. If anyone tries to own me, that's a violation of my 1st amendment rights.
Imo, the president and his allies organizing a plot to overturn the results of the election are just 'political activities'. Breaking in to the capitol and assaulting police officers? Also merely political activities. No different than say, calling your lawmakers.
Truly one of Glenn's best self-owns in the last couple of days. And a perfect representation of how 'rigorously' Glem researches his arguments. Weeks!
