Powerful Interview by Tucker Carlson of Glenn Greenwald about Greenwald resigning from his own liberal publication, the Intercept, due to censorship. He discusses the powerful union of media, intelligence agencies, democratic party, silicon valley, and wall street to push the deep state agenda.
Its ironic that Greenwald didn’t understand the mindset and desire for total control of his fellow liberals. He seems genuinely surprised for some reason.
Sort of related: On the local NBC news this morning, some brief discussion of conservatives are protesting lately about too much censorship, but those on the left are pushing for even more blocking of “hate speech”.
OMG Good thing I wasn’t close enough to throw something at the TV.
While Tucker’s story in its very specifics is compelling, realize this is a leftist publication censoring a leftist journalist. Greenwald is one of those classical leftists that still believes in freedom of the press and the free exchange of ideas. Hopefully, Greenwald does not become one of Fox New’s rescue pets. Remember when they did that with Juan Williams. Leftist rarely change their stripes. (Please excuse my rescue pet metaphor, most of my pets come from shelters. In fact, my two cats came into my home this way. They watch all the Trump rallies and have been filling out mail-in ballots for Trump for weeks. There are good rescue pets and bad rescue pets.)
Good point, but like someone said even the Bidens didn’t believe the media would cover for them so much. Bobulinksi’s business partner told him in that phone call if this comes out we will all be ruined. He didn’t figure on the media totally ignoring the story.
The MSM has squandered whatever integrity it had and lost all credibility by refusing to investigate the Biden harddrive. Yet thanks to the internet, talk radio and the few remaining ethical media outlets, a majority of the American electorate is becoming aware of Joe Biden’s vile criminality. IMHO this will be reflected when the votes are counted and Trump wins.
So much for the liberal icons Justice Brennan’s viewpoint: “If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the process of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence.” Justice Douglas: ““Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us.”
Greenwald’s speech pattern and cadence goes against him going into broadcast jounalism. He is hard on the ears.
A really good interview. Greenwald is one of a handful of Lefty journos who are still principled.
It’s clear he and Tucker respect each other despite being from opposite ideological poles.
No heavy lifting involved.
The facts that the media is deeply in the tank for Biden and the Democrats has now become the “Blinding Fact of the Obvious”.

The Left is good at branding their crusades against things they don’t like. They label it, personalize it, emotionalize it, and saturate the media with it. They control the narrative and that’s why they get so much traction with their crazy ideas.
He's SHOCKED! Shocked, I tell you... You can read all about it in his soon to be published book...
I think it’s in insult to call it a liberal publication, if it’s really a leftist publication. If it was a liberal publication they wouldn’t be suppressing information.
It is amazing to behold so many supposedly sophisticated journalists behaving like a pack of brainwashed kiddies. Hugh Hewitt had Chuck U Todd on Thursday, who said NBC had tried to verify the Biden story, but no one would co-operate. And Rudy was not credible. Hugh replied that was a really good reason (no sarcasm). The Hugh asked if the Biden story was the October surprise. “Oh, no!” Todd declared that the real big one was the surge in Covid. (And, by implication, Trump’s responsibility for the carnage.) So that is it: the Big Story, the long and the short of it, the Thing with which they all will make hay right down to the wire. That’s all, folks.
I wish it was possible to get a clip of each specific segment of Tucker's shows... in the case of the interview with Greenwald, I've sent that one and the interview that followed with Mark Morgan (CBP Commissioner) along to family with the note ".... and this is why this election is so critical."
It seems that even when the full shows are posted, the first and last 5 or 10 minutes are deleted. One clip that I'd really like to have (just because it was the funniest thing I've seen in years) is the clip at the end of the show two nights ago when Tucker was talking with Mark Steyn about the pronunciation of Camel-A's name...... just hilarious.
Check their bank accounts. Would bet anything that China or some other hostile foreign power is depositing $$ into their accounts.
No other explanation for their behavior.

It’s easy to do that with nobody opposing them. The GOP has surrendered on so many issues. And the Deep State could not operate like they do without bipartisan top cover. They have no fear whatsoever of substantive oversight.
