Long but good read. Classic Greenwald. Grab a coffee.
Glenn Greenwald- Your Top Priority is The Emotional Comfort of the Most Powerful Elites, Which You Fulfill by Never Criticizing Them.
Corporate journalists have license to use their huge platforms to malign, expose and destroy anyone they want. Your moral duty: sit in respectful silence and never object.
“There is a distinct deficiency in dung, Mr. Holmes.”
Greenwald focuses on the way Hillary Clinton played the victim card in order to demonize the Sanders supporters. But, what he failed to mention is that it was a recycled strategy. She used the same approach when she ran for senate against Rick Lazio. Lazio (who was a scrawny challenger) was painted as a threatening attack dog who made Clinton physically uncomfortable, and that all women should feel that way in his presence. I seem to recall that Lazio stood up during one of the debates, and that was the catalyst Clinton used to be considered a victim.
I’m surprised Greenwald left that out of his take.
Greenwald is excellent and credible, although a little wordy at times.
Here is his brilliant screed on why you should hold the media in utter contempt.

Greenwald is actually a journalist, as opposed to most “journalists” these days.
Great read.
Big story in Edmonton this winter about tearful “journalists” for ctv having to take the stickers off their company vehicles because they were scared that the people they have been lying to and trying to destroy for years now might heckle them in public. My sympathy meter actually registered negative readings.
Michelle Remple also penned a nauseating piece a month ago about how tough it was for her to go out amongst the people lest one of her subjects dare to approach her and question her association with WEF.
These so called people are beyond the pale.
“Journalists” covering the relentlessly peaceful Ottawa demonstrations were provided with bodyguards. Why?
The protesters took time off from supervising the kids at the bouncy castles, barbecues and singsongs to ask the CBC presstitutes why they were lying in their coverage. That’s an obviously threatening act that had to be countered with muscle.

We have seen the true character of 95% of journalists…and it is UGLY.
Only 7 comments?
its probably not because the topic is not interesting
it is probably because, well… what can you say? what can you do? why bother posting a comment?
those who have the power also have the media, so no matter what we say it will change nothing.
It is depressing that the most evil and the stupidest are the ones with the most power.
I m not a pessimist, I am a realist.
I call sh*t what it is, and I call flowers what they are, I will not say that sh*t smells like flowers, I am a realist.
