So after the Mueller report is now looking like it's pretty bad for Trump will Glenn Greenwald

[Quixote1818]

make the rounds again admitting he is a fucking piece of shit who was wrong as fuck and never should have done a victory lap for the worst President ever in the first place?

[gtar100]

1. He won't exactly come out and admit it, but

I have little doubt that whatever he will say will prove it (again).

[Downtown Hound]

2. Or how about Matt Taibbi, the asshole who actually demanded Rachel Maddow RESIGN

for her false coverage and equated Russiagate with phantom WMD?

3. Yes! nt

9. Is that the same guy who wrote this article about how crazy

the moron is? I thought he was on our side after reading this two years ago.

11. He was a Hillary-hater, so, no. n/t

[BigmanPigman]

14. I wish I had known.

I would never have referred anyone to that saved article and will now delete it. Take that Matt!

[Volaris]

16. Matt and Glen both fall into the category:

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

[BigmanPigman]

18. Now I know...thanks for the warning!

[leftstreet]

4. How bad? Will Trump be indicted for anything?

I ask because I'm not really following it

If not, Trump will keep claiming victory and everyone will just lose interest

[0rganism]

8. *this*

until Agent Orange pays out of his own pocket, he considers it free lunch on our tab, and calls it victory.

and as long as he calls it victory, all his allies will too.

and simply by repeating their declarations of victory, wittingly or not, the news media will assist in mainstreaming that message.

and the people who don't follow this stuff closely will consider the matter settled and get bored.

and then the media will stop covering it for a while, maybe call out some other atrocity that can serve as a distraction.

and rinse and repeat.

sing along if you know the words...

5. I heard Greenwald on Democracy Now and he was

Such a Trump protector. Calling Trump's crimes conspiracy theories. Every sentence a complaint about Maddow's reporting. I was dumbfounded that he could be so blind and stupid.

Trump stood up proud and loud on national TV and admitted he fired Comey to stop the Russian investigation. And Greenwald claimed that it was all made up.

Of course now he ain't out there praising the most criminal president in history. No he's scuttled back into his rat hole.

[pnwmom]

12. He's not blind and stupid. He's complicit. n/t

[okaawhatever]

19. This +1000 nt

6. Greenwald is a piece of shit

But he will never admit as much.

[Quixote1818]

17. There are only a few people I hate and Greenwald is one of them. nt

[appal_jack]

7. He is a ringleader in a mediocre but dangerous groupthink.

Greenwald of the Intercept, Jeremy Scahill, Aaron Maté of the Nation, Chris Hedges of Common Dreams (etc.), Taibbi of Rolling Stone, Caitlin Johnstone of whatever rag will print her drivel: too much of the supposed "Left" media preemptively surrendered to Putin and the Neoconservatives.

They need to correct their records if they ever hope to merit respect in the future.

10. Thanks for a list to keep an eye out for.

I am too gullible and believe the stuff some of these writers have written in the past. Now I am alerted.

[appal_jack]

21. I have found certain pieces of most of them worthwhile.

My one exception is Caitlin Johnstone, who strikes me as purely a Putin propagandist.

But the rest of them say some worthwhile and even important things at times. For one reason or another though, they each have had a huge blind spot about the crimes of Trump, the machinations of Putin, the evils of evangelical warmongering Republicanism, and how these three awful entities now intertwine to the grim detriment of these United States.

23. Oh geez, I just Googled her...

her twitter thing is supporting poor Julain Assange. She is NUTS!

[appal_jack]

24. My apologies for inflicting her propaganda upon you.

Unfortunately, some on the left flock to her...

13. I don't think they surrendered to Putin. I think they're allied with Putin. n/t

[melman]

15. Matt Taibbi is "allied with Putin"?

That's ridiculous.

[pnwmom]

22. So you say.

Taibbi himself says the WA Post reported on a research group that put him in that category.

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/putin-derangement-syndrome-arrives-114557/

I’ve been “outed” as a possible paid Putin plant by the infamous “PropOrNot” group, which is supposedly dedicated to rooting out Russian “agents of influence.” You might remember PropOrNot as the illustrious research team the Washington Post once relied on for a report that accused 200 alternative websites of being “routine peddlers of Russian propaganda during the election season.”
