By far the greatest amount of disinformation and Fake News comes not from QAnon, FB or random YouTubers, but the largest media corporations.
He's a segment on MSNBC where @JoeNBC and @clairecmc spent 2 minutes straight telling one outright lie after the next on the Assange case: pic.twitter.com/MfR8YUi20p— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) December 12, 2021
I'm going to write about this segment because I don't mean that Scarborough and McCaskill expressed dubious views, but that each of the lies they told are demonstrably false.
The ones who yell loudest about disinformation are those who spread it most. NBC lies like this daily.
Democrats are everything they accuse Trump and Fox of being.
Their networks -- NBC & CNN -- spread lies daily as disinformation outlets.
They want their enemies censored, imprisoned, silenced. The ones who write Atlantic essays on democracy are the most virulent authoritarians.
Watch video.....
Jim @Acosta was celebrated by liberals for pretending to be endangered by Trump even though nobody ever cared about that harmless blowhard.
Meanwhile, here he is justifying the prosecution of Julian Assange, 1,000 times the journalist Acosta is:https://t.co/7f11mi8UvR— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) December 12, 2021
It is US liberalism that favors censorship through a union of state and corporate power. It is US liberalism whose networks constantly lie to defend the state. It is US liberalism which wants Assange imprisoned for the crime of journalism.
That's who the authoritarian menace is.
Thanks.
Glenn is spot on.
