I can't tell if the American media doesn't understand or doesn't care how little trust people have in the entire institution these days. The only person I've seen trying to sound the alarm is Matt Taibbi but I guess for the cable networks it doesn't affect the bottom line so it's not really a concern for them.

it's true though, I was personally insulted by the incredibly shoddy journalism of I Can't Breathe and The Divide. Interviewing and contextualizing the lives of the plebs. Distasteful.Homura and Sickle posted:3 people have gone to prison because they leaked stuff to the intercept which they didnt scrub of metadata before publishing yep, and it looks like they accepted laundered US DoD talking points as a 'leak'. That sucks, they suck for all that, but it's not the sum total of what Greenwald has done.

V. Illych L. posted:eh, i don't have twitter so i'm somewhat in the dark on the particulars here, but e.g. saying stuff like the trump impeachment being some pearl-clutching nonsense is entirely justifiable imo - the problem isn't really trump in particular, he's just a particularly vulgar kind of demagogue and hasn't really done anything that was worse than e.g. bush's ludicrous overreaches. the issue is that american politics have been infiltrated by a nihilistic death cult and that their main opposition seems to still imagine that the real problem is that donny trump is just too darn crass it's not a radical idea that impeachment is entirely political and has nothing to do with criminality -- pretty much everyone involved in impeachments throughout american history admit as much at some point. But I too will remain ignorant and delusional about twitter dot com lore

You got a down on his luck guy who is going to be indebted to the American medical system for years versus a group of insane former anarchists turned libertarian capitalists who want to use their engineered social platforms as the way we interact with everything.
