Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Aaron Mate are a few honest leftist journalists still left. Unfortunately, all of them now get called russian agents.....
Matt is good too, same caveat about his views but I’m glad he’s on substack now because fuck Rolling Stone! Aaron Mate sounds familiar, I’ll have to keep an eye out for his stuff.
I've got posts on reddit going back nearly a year where I constantly brought up these three journalists as the few remaining with integrity. I think the best description might be contrarian, which is generally how I tend to be and why I find myself aligning with them. It's nice to see some beacons of sanity.
Before Trump they were generally well respected among most liberals as well.
Then Trump came along and suddenly, like Trump, Assange, and even Snowden, they're grifters and/or Russian agents.
Leftism is a mental disorder and TDS can be terminal. It's crazy how far these people will go to avoid and mask the truth because they simply don't want it to be true.
Aaron Mate shows up on Jimmy Dore a lot. Jimmy hates Trump and you won’t agree with much of what he says, but he absolutely despises what the media has been doing for 4 years. Hearing him denounce media lies is great to hear. Since he’s not “one of us”.
Yup! I think the problem with Jimmy is that he's sitting in his own echo chamber in CA and doesn't realize there's people outside that shithole who like Trump. I hate how whenever democrats do evil shit, Jimmy compares them to right wing and Trump. Like bitch, Trump and his constituents are exact opposite.
Jimmy's still completely tribal - he's just realised his tribe's leadership is composed of evil liars.
That doesn't preclude him still identifying with the tribe at large, and believing their propaganda about the other side. He just no longer believes their lies about themselves.
He's a classic case of being purple-pilled. No real understanding of the world outside the Hollywood bubble, other than a guilty, vaguely anthropological understanding of the working class.
Yep. He keeps comparing war mongers to Trump just because Trump spent a lot of money on military. He doesn't realize that Trump simply believes in a strong military and still staying out of wars because US is responsible for defending so many other countries plus Trump got the NATO to pay $130 billion more going up to 400 billion more. So a lot of that military spending is offset.
I don’t really have an issue with people who just believe in the faux “merits” of socialism, as Jimmy does. I may disagree vehemently with him, but you can have a productive, honest debate with someone like that. Today’s left are not honest actors, they are radicalized violent marxists, hellbent in pushing an ideological fascist plague on society. The sad thing is most of these people can’t even articulate or defend their positions, and prefer censorship and violence to conversation and debate.
Jimmy and Stef at least want to and is willing to share dialogue with Trump supporters. He has also at least publicly stated that Biden is much worse than our president. Not really a win, but I'll at least take it I guess.
I watch Jimmy too. Who will he support now that he was betrayed by Bernie who is clearly controlled opposition? I'm guessing Tulsi.
The irony of progressives is they hate Trump less than liberals even though progressive candidates would try for real change and Biden would just work for the highest bidder and corporations trying to crush small business and seniors.
This was always Trump vs. the massive, massive egos of liberals. The greater the ego the greater the need to bash Trump to show their "enlightenment." Biden is everything they say they hate about Trump: boastful, thin skinned, inarticulate (much more so than Trump), divisive etc. and they can't see it because this is 100% about feelings not facts.
Taibbi’s eXile was one of the best newspapers ever printed in Russia. Other Moscow journos were hating it, one American journo girl even threatened a gangland hit on the authors.
most of the worst villains in the eXile's hall of shame are Americans, and it is a theme throughout the book that once Americans are in any way freed from the usual constraints on their behavior, they are the most corrupt, scaly lizard-beasts one can find anywhere. Even an ordinary suburbanite, once she lands in Russia, winds up threatening gangland hits on the authors [...].
And it could happen here, if we ever cease to keep an eye on each other, on our elected officials,and on our press. For, as Taibbi notes with dismay, ... today's "reporters," at least in the western press in Moscow, have become "a bunch of corrupt, cheerleading patsies," largely because there is no longer any competition between papers, magazines, networks, what have you, and thus there's no one paying attention to the accuracy, fairness, or relevance of what is coming out of those Moscow bureaus - and thus no reason for western journalists in Moscow to work very hard at all.
I'm not surprised that most of the people featured in the book are Americans. The local press and authorities wine and dine"big important American journalist" because they believe it will get them more access to American investment. On the flip side, the journalist now believes themselves to be somebody important in a land where important people can do about anything they want.
Greenwald said this sensorship of anything critical of the deep state and democrats should scare everyone, however, the Democrats are undeniably in control of the corrupt establishment and it's being empowered by ignorant anti-Trump ideologues... useful idiots bc orange man bad
That was a great episode for those who time in and think Jones is a total nutjob. Jones has a ton of knowledge and he rattles it off so nonchalantly that he sounds crazy.
Having the live fact checking actually really helps get the knowledge out because it makes people realize Jones isn't the caricature that some soundbites show.
I found it annoying too and interrupting Alex's flow. HOWEVER, I think it ended up being a good thing because everything they fact checked came out to be correct. Joe posted on his IG afterwards with a very good defence of AJ and stated that despite AJ saying crazy things - those crazy things are correct!
I agree. It would be one thing if Rogan was getting wasted too, but it’s “Sober October”. Kind of disrespectful to get blitzed in his studio while he is trying to do a show. Would’ve been much better on election night to party like Joe was talking about. I think Jones needs to tone it down his next appearance otherwise he probably won’t get invited back for a while.
I know it may sound weird, but I think Alex Jones is actually a pretty shy guy. I know most people would think no way someone like Alex Jones is shy, but I believe he is. Proof? I act like he does and I'm actually very shy. Its all a front, and him drinking was a distraction/front for himself to get through it.
At the end of the interview he talks about how his job is killing him and he wish he could give it all up but he has staff to take care of and he feels like he just can't stop fighting. It felt really real and genuine and frankly as time goes on my respect for AJ continues to grow. He's one of the few dissenting voices out there and he got wiped off of the social media earth. In a blink of an eye. AJ is a canary in the coal mine to show whats going to happen to all of us some day if we can't somehow stop it.
Yeah I agree he was a bit obnoxious, but frankly he felt toned down a bit on average over his normal self.
I think Joe genuinely likes Alex, the fact checking... I dunno if he was doing it cause of Spotify or what, but its possible he was doing it to prove to people that Alex isn't a nutjob. He probably gets a lot of shit for liking Alex and I think he was less trying to prove Alex wrong, but more show his naysayers that Alex is often right.
I think there is a lot of truth to what you are saying. I think Rogan did the fact checking to try and please everybody. That way he can tell the soy boy beta cucks he went hard against Alex while sucking up to MAGA country as being the host with balls to have Alex on his show. It’s a very interesting relationship for sure.
Yeah alex said on his show after that he was fine with Joe doing that.
My problem w alex is that he exaggerates too much. Yes he's technically correct but it muddies the point. Like him saying tons of ppl are dying who took the experimental covid vaccines. No, its just 1 person so far and he was in the control group (took a meningitis vaccine) so ppl more likely to dismiss what he says because he's imprecise with his words. However I believe him mainly because he is right about practically everything in the long run. I fully expect more ppl to die or be seriously sickened by the covid vax so I expect he'll be proven right
I'd love for both to cut loose, but the fact checking is very important to get through to the normies watching. They can't handle unfiltered Alex - it just wouldn't be effective. Election night though, Jones is supposed to be back on and both getting hammered. Will see...
I have to give Joe a hat tip because he featured three potentially red pilling podcasts on the week before the election. He had on Kanye/ fucking Alex Jones & Dillon / Greenwald. I get that some of these guys aren't MAGA but they're anti-corruption and very against the Soviet style censorship going on. I thought it was interesting he did that.
Trump is not pardoning Assange. He tried to get him extradited to face charges in the US, allegedly offering immunity in exchange for giving up his sources for the Hillary emails to prove it wasn't Russian hacking, and directed Ric Grenell to try to hide through Aaron Schwartz it before a court case a few months ago.
Cassandra Fairbanks has the call from Aaron Schwartz recorded and uploaded it after entering it into evidence in that same case.
Back when he was with the Guardian and first working with Snowden, he devoted a significant amount of column space to trashing Assange for doing things "the wrong way." He believed at the time that just releasing the damn files was bad, and that they should instead be combed through by the amazing gatekeepers of our wonderful media so as not to endanger national security.
This was his excuse for never releasing the vast majority of the Snowden info, btw. So his reasoning on this change of heart is sorta important.
(This is the 30th thing he's desperately needed to explain that he probably never will. Like his propensity to call everyone "cheerleaders for the Iraq War" without mentioning that he was a vocal and public supporter for the first few years. Or whatever his stance is on gun control today, and yes it changes that wildly that often. Or firing Matt Taibbi and hiring Talcum X.)
the change...my guess would be.....that when Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's administrationn charged him with conspiracy for critical reporting on the Brazilian government., he found himself personally in a very similar situation as Assange. His evolution from initial contact with "Cincinnatus," regarding Snowden was a long cautious climb. I am no expert into the mind of Greenwald but i'd speculate that he got there by some evolution of thought and personal experience of the lash and that sealed the deal.I think he is a very cautious individual.
I don't think he ever wanted to be where he is now, in regards to "Intercept" but he is. Few of us have the guts of Assange and Snowden...or John Pilger...or Christopher Hitchens but the last man "in" is "still :in".
I can’t imagine working for and believing in a candidate who wouldn’t just come out and say their false. I mean, wouldn’t you at least wonder why the duck they are deflecting instead of answering directly?
Greenwald is the hero that every centrist and libertarian can get behind. He's as close to a non-partisan objective journalist as the world can muster up. Thank god he's jumped into the ring... it will wake up a lot of sleepers in the center/center-left.
This can't be stated enough. I had a double Obama voter, Bernie bro friend text me about Glenn and how he will now be voting for President Trump because of it.
Credit where it's due but it's only been relatively recently on the scale of the whole presidential term/initial run.
edit: I'm talking about the Biden shit, not the Russia shit. Much of this is years old. As others have pointed out, Greenwald called out the Russia narrative relatively quickly.
You're probably talking about Joe Biden, but the critical race theory progressive political cadre that came to power with Obama are the the real shit mountain
This is what we need. We need good, honest journalists that want the truth to put it all out on the line. We will protect those who expose these people to the world.
These questions aren't leading, unfair, softballs, nothing like that. Legitimate, truth-seeking questions.
Curious to know if Biden responded with "You're a conspiracy theorist so those questions are right up your alley." Or, "You're a lying dog-faced pony soldier."
Clearly if their campaign refuses to address these questions and say “no” because it’s the truth, then it’s dead on. This would all go away if it were false and they fought to prove it. And that’s before you even inspect the evidence.
Greenwald is certainly not a Trump supporter, he's certainly welcome to his criticisms. However, it's good to see someone of his relevance call balls and strikes.
I always thought it was funny how Joe would say "I've never taken money from a foreign entity." Of course, this is a thinly veiled dodge of the real question, which should be "Joe, have you ever received funds from Hunter, his business partners, or from any of the business entities with which he is affiliated?" Weird how that follow up question never gets asked...
This is the kind of reporting SE Cupp should B E doing instead of bidding for Biden on CNN. Step your shit up or your “career” is done. I mean it looks done. So why not?
7. ... "Has the Vice President ever received money from Hunter in the past decade ..."
Why only the past decade and not the full 12 years, or why not his whole public life? and why not say Joe Biden rather than "the Vice President"? Why only from Hunter, and not ask about other family members too or others?
When I first saw this, I passed it off, thinking Biden's campaign would just ignore it. But now the Greenwald sub-story has become a huge story itself. In a sane world, it would be hard for Biden's campaign to ignore these questions.
With Bobulinski, the email, photos etc this is like a gift wrapped Pulitzer Prize delivered on a silver platter to some keen journalist. Start digging. Follow the leads. Do the dates match up with public records and known events? It’s not that difficult, so clearly NYT, WaPo and others simply don’t WANT to look.
Best part is ABC went back in this year to remove the "Hipster" from the title when they began puffing up Joe's image. They also put 'Like a Boss' in quotes to minimize the Whitey Bulger associations. Truly clown world.
Took me a minute to figure out what I was looking at...then it hit me. ACTUAL JOURNALISM!
Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Aaron Mate are a few honest leftist journalists still left. Unfortunately, all of them now get called russian agents.....
Matt is good too, same caveat about his views but I’m glad he’s on substack now because fuck Rolling Stone! Aaron Mate sounds familiar, I’ll have to keep an eye out for his stuff.
All 3 had been calling out the Russiagate nonsense from the beginning.

Frightening to me.
You have to wonder how they operate on a day-to-day basis.
Heavily medicated.

So classic, it's written in a language that's been dead for more than a millennium.

That's the nastiest thing I have ever heard of. So much for my midnight snack.
Were you going to have horse semen pie as a midnight snack?
I prefer all american apple. You don't have to share.

https://www.amazon.com/Exile-Sex-Drugs-Libel-Russia/dp/0802136524 See review by K.M.Sherrod (currently the 1st one):
most of the worst villains in the eXile's hall of shame are Americans, and it is a theme throughout the book that once Americans are in any way freed from the usual constraints on their behavior, they are the most corrupt, scaly lizard-beasts one can find anywhere.

Those are the kind of people that should be moderating debates.
Sort of above it all.
Wrong.
But above it all.
Add Michael Tracey to the list too.
The only thing I don't like about Joe Rogan was him attacking James O'Keefe. Must be personal. Rogan has a notoriously thin skin.
That was a great episode for those who time in and think Jones is a total nutjob. Jones has a ton of knowledge and he rattles it off so nonchalantly that he sounds crazy.
Having the live fact checking actually really helps get the knowledge out because it makes people realize Jones isn't the caricature that some soundbites show.

Funny, I thought the fact checking was brilliant.
Can you think of a better way to get red pills out to people who are completely out of the loop?
Yeah alex said on his show after that he was fine with Joe doing that.
My problem w alex is that he exaggerates too much. Yes he's technically correct but it muddies the point. Like him saying tons of ppl are dying who took the experimental covid vaccines.

I think Joe didn't exactly attack James, he simply isn't well versed enough. He will change his mind when he has James on the show, I will bet.
I have to give Joe a hat tip because he featured three potentially red pilling podcasts on the week before the election. He had on Kanye/ fucking Alex Jones & Dillon / Greenwald. I get that some of these guys aren't MAGA but they're anti-corruption and very against the Soviet style censorship going on. I thought it was interesting he did that.
I've got no problem with Joe, but I am instinctively skeptical of the general "cult" vibe around his fanbase.
Of course. I've listened to some of his interviews too. I think it's awesome that he invites people like Alex Jones and Elon Musk onto the show
Picking up steam?
Sinclair was broadcasting it on a number of their affiliates (CBS), and they have ~200 stations so I hope so.
Rare stuff these days
Yeah. Turns out we're all on the side of the truth.
...and Assange, he has really stuck to supporting Assange
He was on Tucker tonight as well as few weeks ago when Trump hinted at pardoning Snowden and Assange.
tried to upvote...but your vote didn't change...so wanted to say Thanks for this information
I posted the clip of him on Tucker if you want to check it out. It was a great interview.

Funny how now a journalist just doing their job now is newsworthy.
The best deflection: “You’re just repeating Fox News talking points” 🤨
Haha I love to follow that up with “talking points are statements, these are questions. Why is Joe Biden refusing to answer them?”
ad hominem
Biden's just trying to run out the clock
I can’t imagine working for and believing in a candidate who wouldn’t just come out and say their false. I mean, wouldn’t you at least wonder why the duck they are deflecting instead of answering directly?
Greenwald is the hero that every centrist and libertarian can get behind. He's as close to a non-partisan objective journalist as the world can muster up. Thank god he's jumped into the ring... it will wake up a lot of sleepers in the center/center-left.
This can't be stated enough. I had a double Obama voter, Bernie bro friend text me about Glenn and how he will now be voting for President Trump because of it.
He's not non-partisan at all, but he's definitely a hero among journalists.
Hardcore lefty finally opens his eyes to the gigantic pile of shit that we've been screaming to him about for half a fucking decade
Credit where it's due but it's only been relatively recently on the scale of the whole presidential term/initial run.
edit: I'm talking about the Biden shit, not the Russia shit. Much of this is years old. As others have pointed out, Greenwald called out the Russia narrative relatively quickly.
The longer it takes, the harder it was to break their egos down.
It’s hard getting paid to have the “right opinion” only to stare longingly into the abyss of truth and see you’re kinda retarded
He's been on top of this the whole time. He always called the Russian hoax bullshit
He's a lefty but he's been calling out the Russiagate nonsense from the beginning
You're probably talking about Joe Biden, but the critical race theory progressive political cadre that came to power with Obama are the the real shit mountain
Misled.

"we are not going to respond to this smear campaign" is all we get
This is what we need. We need good, honest journalists that want the truth to put it all out on the line. We will protect those who expose these people to the world.
These questions aren't leading, unfair, softballs, nothing like that. Legitimate, truth-seeking questions.
Curious to know if Biden responded with "You're a conspiracy theorist so those questions are right up your alley." Or, "You're a lying dog-faced pony soldier."
Clearly if their campaign refuses to address these questions and say “no” because it’s the truth, then it’s dead on. This would all go away if it were false and they fought to prove it. And that’s before you even inspect the evidence.
Greenwald is certainly not a Trump supporter, he's certainly welcome to his criticisms. However, it's good to see someone of his relevance call balls and strikes.
We'll get back to you with answers as soon as Joe can talk coherently.
I always thought it was funny how Joe would say "I've never taken money from a foreign entity." Of course, this is a thinly veiled dodge of the real question, which should be "Joe, have you ever received funds from Hunter, his business partners, or from any of the business entities with which he is affiliated?" Weird how that follow up question never gets asked...
This is the kind of reporting SE Cupp should B E doing instead of bidding for Biden on CNN. Step your shit up or your “career” is done. I mean it looks done. So why not?
7. ... "Has the Vice President ever received money from Hunter in the past decade ..."
Why only the past decade and not the full 12 years, or why not his whole public life? and why not say Joe Biden rather than "the Vice President"? Why only from Hunter, and not ask about other family members too or others?
Any journalist who interacts with Biden now has no integrity, the most hard hitting question they'll ask him is what he has for breakfast.
When I first saw this, I passed it off, thinking Biden's campaign would just ignore it. But now the Greenwald sub-story has become a huge story itself. In a sane world, it would be hard for Biden's campaign to ignore these questions.
Oh look, actual investigative journalism!
With Bobulinski, the email, photos etc this is like a gift wrapped Pulitzer Prize delivered on a silver platter to some keen journalist. Start digging. Follow the leads. Do the dates match up with public records and known events? It’s not that difficult, so clearly NYT, WaPo and others simply don’t WANT to look.
This almost restores my faith in journalism and gives me hope that not all of them are brainwashed sheep.
Adam Schiff has entered the chat: Greenwald is a puppet of Putin
/Adam Schiff has left the chat.
can we make the font any fucking smaller????
I really like that fag.
No, Romney’s a fag. This is a gay man
Correct. I broke my own rule, shame on me.
What in the name of Vladimir Put distractive ass questions are these?
Let’s get to the important things we the woke care about. What flavor lollipop did Joe Biden enjoy today?
You're not kidding. When stories about Hunter should have been gracing the front pages of ABC in 2014, this is what we were seeing instead.
