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.
Absolutely hilarious.
Anyway, here's the guy who declared himself vindicated on all the Russia stuff, after taking Bill Barr's distorted 'summary' of the Mueller report and compared all the rest of the media's 'failure' to the Iraq War, pushing Aaron Mate- Crowdstrike conspiracies about RU & the DNC.
He is so vindicated and correct about EVERYTHING, he still doesn't believe that Russia hacked the DNC. He won't come out and say it, just cite extremely clown moron Aaron Mate 'asking questions'.
So old I remember that after the Barr Report, many in the media shared his "Russiagate is WMDs" story saying that everyone in the media needed to reflect on what they got wrong and acknowledge that the Taibbi-Greenwald-sphere got it right. The reality is the complete opposite.
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.
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!
