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.

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.

Frightening to me.

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.

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.

That's the nastiest thing I have ever heard of. So much for my midnight snack.

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

Those are the kind of people that should be moderating debates.

Sort of above it all.

Wrong.

But above it all.

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.

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!

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?

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 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

Sinclair was broadcasting it on a number of their affiliates (CBS), and they have ~200 stations so I hope so.
