Glenn literally said "I don’t give a shit what the expectations are, it would bore me if I tried" in regards to questioning Alex on the denial of the murder of babies and the the harassment of their parents. I don’t give a fuck how long ago Sandy Hook occurred, to talk about the situation with that level of complacency is disgusting in and of itself. Ironically Alex was correct that he deserves to be questioned about it to no end. What he did to those parents and the memory of their kids was horrific. So for Glenn to just gloss over it and even act as though it would be an inconvenience to press him on it shows just how much journalistic integrity Glenn has lost. This interview was inexcusable and that line highlights exactly why.
Absolutely. And I hope he is given a settlement so large that no one in show biz will go near him. I hope it takes him the rest of his life to fully pay it off. Fuck Alex Jones and his mediocre existence.
"That time you did material harm to grieving families over the course of years for your own monetary gain... not interested. Would you say you did it because you're great or because you're amazing?"
@@PersonalPariah I had a rocket appliances type of genius in another thread telling me Greenwald is fighting against the security state and the Majority Report are agents...
@@thunderpooch childhood friend. Anyone else and they would have been ditched. We don't talk politics anymore. Funny thing is, he is a Bernie supporter.
It's weird to me how hard it is for some people to let go of Greenwald. He seems to function a bit like a guru for some of my friends. I really don't get it. He's not some kind of deep or insightful thinker and he has no charisma. He comes across as an angry soulless rich ex-lawyer with a transparent media strategy. He's somewhat clever about wording tweets and whatnot, to preserve plausible deniability, but he has nothing interesting or plausible to say. I get that he bills himself as anti-establishment and people like that. But is that all it takes? Why don't other "anti-establishment" pundits get the same cultlike following?
@@areaunderthecurve9918 anyone with actual credibility. And if you are using the term "liberal elites" you have most likely little clue what that word means. It's when you aren't a shill, like all the people in republican leadership, party, and conservatives in media as a whole. They all shill for fox or one of the other far right news organizations, or they shill for a superpack(corporations). Either way they are bought and sold.
@@fredsanford1437 how many people are actually paying that though? And sounds like a gag to me. But I guess some people get offended by different things. You get upset about a payment option, I get upset about people being paid by blatant far right groups like Prager U and Turning Points USA.
@@tanjianforever Obviously people are paying that $500/month grift or else it wouldn’t be an option. Also, “gags” don’t come with PayPal links. Greenwald is a threat to the Security State, Seder is an asset. Get upset about that.
Spreading lies about economics is entirely a right wing grift. Finance capital is a racket. And it requires constant lies and propaganda to maintain the farce.
It's amazes me that certain progressives - like Krystal Ball - will defend, or ignore everything the actual propagandists and conspiracy baiters do, and yet lose their minds over Rachel Maddow telling the truth about Russian propagandists at OAN, and having the audacity to report on Russia Gate as it was happening. Ball did a segment while at The Hill: Rising, comparing Maddow to Alex Jones. But she completely ignores Tucker Carlson. Apparently he's not divisive enough. If Maddow we're doing what Carlson does on a nightly basis, Cigar and Balls would never shut up about it.
2018 seems like a different universe now. Remember how many pro Bernie lefties online that seemed to be moving people in the right direction? Now its just crazy how far the pendulum swung for these people.
Been that for a while, wonder if someone has some serious dirt on him or his partner. I noticed an abrupt change in him around 2013 after: the Brazilian government in a hard right shift, violently cracked down on protesters complaining about the increase in prices due to the country hosting both the World Cup and the Olympics, went after journalist reporting on government corruption, & his husband?/partner, David Miranda, being detained for 9 hours by UK authorities. That change really hit home w/ me in 2021 when Manning tweeted: "glenn greenwald, i don’t have $10,000 right now but if i get it i want to send it back to you from a donation you once did. i can’t deal with this anymore. im terrified of you and everything you do. you’re greedy, unprincipled, and im embarrassed for ever considering you a friend" , "... im no longer going to be afraid of saying what’s on my mind anymore or taking a stand from the people that i once considered allies but who have chosen to bash, harass, humiliate, intimidate, and lie to get ahead.” "
I'm about half way through and my God if people didnt already catch on to Greenwalds grift then this of all things, surely!, caping for the king of Sandy Hook thruthers should convince them!!
Glenn saying so glibly and uncaringly that what AJ said about Sandy Hook “turned out to be untrue”, as if those damaging, psychotic lies that wrecked people’s lives were at least plausible, makes me want to puke. All the good he may have done in the world is wrecked in my eyes.
The bildergroup is legit tho? And ironically it’s main function is to protect western capitalist interest in the west. Which I’d assume Jones would be in favor of.
This is the same Alex Jones who said on air "I just got a message from one of the SWAT team members that was on site where Las Vegas shooter died. They found antifa and muslim items there. This is confirmed. And now I'm going to delete this message and I cannot show it to you" - METICULOUS!!!!
@@ownthelibs I like to imagine that Greenwald is suffering from mental illness and actually "believes" what he's saying because the fact he is aware of what a pathetic neocon apologist sad sack he's become is risible.
They deserve worse than that for being a big part of the propaganda machine responsible in ushering in Fascism. Last time I checked, REAL American Patriots KILLED NAZIS. They didn't try to end democracy in an attack on dc WITH Nazis.
@@fredsanford1437 Hmm.. Majority Report = Healthcare, democracy, making the country incrementally better for regular people. You = Somehow, this is worse than BS that has the end goal of radicalizing people into LITERAL Fascism! 🤡🤳 🍄🤪💦 ⬅️ Also you. Me = 🙄
@@Brett_S_420 That’s a very wrong take. Majority report advocates voting for the privately owned DNC corporation that argued in court “we are a private corporation with no legal obligation to provide free and fair elections” Wilding VS dnc services. And yes the judge agreed and dismissed Sanders and his election fraud lawsuit. Sam Seder does mental gymnastics to justify voting for the literal opposite of “democracy” The DNC and GOP duopoly make things incrementally WORSE for regular people. And speaking of fascism… Benito Mussolini says “fascism should be called corporatism because it’s the merger of state and corporate power” The DNC that Seder says to vote for is that literal definition, therefore sader is that fascist you’re worried about Now go ahead and respond with baseless insults and slanders of me being a Russian bot (That’s usually how conversations with the majority report crown goes)
I always can't help but hear Michael's Sam impression in my head whenever Sam gets heated. Makes me smile every time, even if it is a depressing topic.
One thing is though I don't think Greenwald is a depressing topic and I don't think anyone should be surprised... Go on RU-vid and look up the video video where he did an interview w Cenk Where he came out and defended the citizens United decision in 2010.... Whatever you think of the young Turks... It used to be my favorite but now I trust this show much more this was the 1st show that was out there debunking Alex Jones since 2010...... TYT actually platform the guy not intentionally and I don't think overall they do bad but they do some harm....Rubin, Jimmy Dore Jordan Charidan..... A lot of the pro Russia "lefties" came out of the young Turks..
The only people that denied the fact that Russia interfered with our elections that did not move to the far right is alright is secular talkThe only people that denied the fact that Russia interfered with our elections that did not move to the far right is alright is secular talk.....he Was trying to cater to that Jimmy fanbase and he got a lot of it..... And when this guy says he does not like confrontation I believe him......Kyle.... He lost his Jimmy door fans and I think other people Hopefully new people what happens I hear is they discover Kyle.... Kyle is not only way to introverted.... He used to be lazy and purposely give surface level analysis of things.... That meant he didn't have to wade into the culture war..... But the fact is as lefties you do..... You can't be an anti social Justice Warrior lefty... It just so happens that the right picked up a data avoid that no one had really used the term social Justice Warrior since social medis social media and the Internet in general..... Which meant there was a dats void they could exploit... That's why those videos went way up in the algorithm.... The left needs to find their own data void..... But Kyle like he said is very non confrontational......was influenced by a$$holes like Dimmy, G.G. and Taibbi.... Also Chris Hedges.... He was caught plagiarizing years ago... Most of left dismissed it as a hitchhike.... Chris is a strange man.... He's had some good points hes a d*** Boomer..... And I do not trust anybody who stayed on RT and even wanted to stay on RT news afour team knows after the a invaded Ukraine in February...... He's a disempowering figure as well.... The Point is the left doesn't have to be so quick and embracing someone just because they happen to write a good article A good speech
So many of the contrarian anti-MSM crowd seem not to hate them, but just be bitter that they aren't in the club. Krystall Ball, Brand, Dore, Greenwald, Rogan.
@@KnarfStein Kulinski has been such a disappointment. He didn't do the hard sell-out like Dore, he just castrated his integrity by being unwilling to call out the grifters, fake "centrists" and hollow contrarians. The soft sell-out.
@@hhiippiittyy Russel Brand is on the club, it's why he attacks MSM for being the plaything for rich elites While not mentioning how he gets paid by and hosts on Rumble, a right wing platform owned by Republican Billionaire and influencer Peter Tiel Or as Brand calls.him, Sugar Daddy.
Alex Jones said that the Newtown massacre never happened. End of conversation. He's a despicable human being and there is no point in talking to him. One must have some standards.
I used to listen to Alex Jones, back when I found his show on public access in Austin Texas right after 2001. When I discovered Alex was just using the word “globalist” to mean “Jew”, I realized I was headed down the wrong path.
@@ceerealitymusic No matter what any of the contrarian RU-vid personalities say they believe, the audience they cultivate is much clearer distillation of their message. Dore, Brand, Breaking Points... their comment section should give them pause... if they were honest.
Lol the "out" Glenn was giving was so clear. He was like "okay, so did you mean literally or.." and then babbled on a whole essay written with love and care for Jones
Glenn Greenwald has finally went beyond redemption. Not saying he hasn't passed that point already but This is definitely the straw on the camels back.
@@Nobody3467-s3h Thank you for pointing that out. You have dramatically changed my life. I believe we will both sleep very well tonight. What's your first name and badge number. I only caught your last name Officer coccsucker. Thank you for keeping the RU-vid comment section safe.
Glen has been mean to me personality on twitter several times. And I find this disturbing because I'm nobody. I'm "pretty big on antkeeping tiktok" and that's about it. I'm just a random math instructor. But Glen is so damn online he's found some tweet where I mentioned him and come after me. That's kinda sad IMO. I was just sad that he didn't do more after the snowden stuff.
Greenwald also then went on to Tucker Carlson on Fox News and openly supported Bolsenaro a man he previously had described as an authoritarian threat to democracy in Brazil and who was a massive homophobe Glenn shills for the powerful of the right wing and fascist now and that's the only narrative that matters at this point.
The goal is clear: rehabilitate someone as loathsome as Alex Jones to clear the space for even more loathsome individuals. It is about letting people know no matter how low you go, someone somewhere will pay someone else to make you look like a poor misunderstood truth warrior.
Wow. This was a brutal takedown of Glenn, but spot on. He really was excusing his own bad choices here, and applying something to Alex that clearly doesn't even fit.
My favorite Glenn tell: when he sets up a straw man (and he kind of knows it) he lapses into lengthy reasons why he dislikes said straw man until guests and audience have long since moved on. keeps gnawing his bone anyway.
Greenwald’s idea of investigative journalism has always been to start with something he wants to be true and then search for evidence to prove it so. And then write about whether or not his evidence is anything more than his feelings. He just got lucky one time and won a Pulitzer for it.
@@Regenmacher175 Sad thing is, I like Kyle. I usually do enjoy his takes on things. But he's fucking terrible and seeing with people he likes act in bad faith. And I'm not even in the "cut Glenn Greenwald off" camp. I just want Kyle to treat him like he does anyone else. Glenn shouldn't be above criticism
Good on you Sam for doing this, i have listened to Taibi and Greenwald givve credibility people like Jones and conspiracies as if they are doing legit journalism, and it's BS. It's like you said, Akin to Mainstream Media legitimising mainstreaming establishment BS that they criticise! It's definitely brought them down to Alex's level instead of rising above it.
Listening to Greenwald try to provide Jones with answers while endlessly rambling and framing his worthless questions is aggravating. Greenwald should be ashamed of this complete and utter lack of journalism he engages in. He's Jones's PR person, nay, his fluffer - but certainly not an interviewer.
You should challenge Taibi to publish his piece before the movie premiers so he can suffer the consequences of running defense for Greenwald and Jones.
He's on the hook for far more, and the fact he has done literal videos where he mocked how he will not pay or hide his money He can have a lean placed on his wages and or be held in contempt of court charges
"You made statements that turned out to not be true " No, Glenn, they didn't turn out to not be true. They were never true. Ever. Even from before he said it, they were already not true
Geenwald has truly sold his soul and gone to the dark side. People like that have zero self respect and typically loath themselves unless they're sociopaths.
Sad how Glen Greenwald has fallen.... sadder to see Matt Taibi following the se footsteps yuck..... I stop following his reporting this past year as well
@@villedocvalle Questionable is being quite charitable IMO. It's pretty obvious that he is behaving much like a leech who just spotted the juiciest host to suckle on. See his defence of Matt Walsh's blatant transphobia.
This is so disturbing to me that I can’t watch the whole thing. Who let GG back into the country? When the intercept kicked him off the platform, his true fascist, evil self blossomed.
Glenn is a lawyer. He knows what a leading question is. These are some of the most long-winded leading-ass questions I've ever heard a supposed journalist ask someone
Greenwald's been off the deep end for a while now and it seems Taibbi is following. Both I used to have a tremendous amount of respect for and so all of this is incredibly disappointing. What the fuck is happening to people.
Projection. Always projection. Glenn:"you kind of want to dig in a little bit and not give an inch"... That's you Glenn. Work your problem out on your own time.
@@samsedermissingchildsuppor3312 Sure, it's either "you are obsessed" or "you are silencing him". Damned if you do, damned if you don't. This is the most embarrassing "interview" I've ever seen. He should be ashamed if he was running a PR agency for the guy, nevermind act in a role of a journalist.
There are journalists who report to spread truth and those who report to spread a narrative. At every news outlet probably. It's practically unavoidable and you can't use it as an excuse for your own irresponsible behavior, Glenn. EDIT: Glenn is basically helping Alex Jones give one last 'fuck you' to his court-adjudicated victims.
Conspiracy boards used to be fun back in the day, the Conspiracy theorists would argue with the skeptics and people would try to find actual documents to back it up, then info wars turned everyone's brains into mush and it was no fun anymore
22:35 I think Sam is hitting the button hard here. Glenn is GIVING Alex Jones the out to make Alex Jones seem less like the disaster to democracy that he is.
Glenn Greenwald practically handed Alex Jones answers on a silver platter with his questions while projecting hard and he didn't even use Greenwald's excuses, it was beyond pathetic
@@areaunderthecurve9918 One of not very many criticisms I have of Sam is that he turned a blind eye to Taibbi’s depressing descent for longer than he should’ve because they were good friends for many years
Legit you distroyed GG for me.. you make so much sense breaking it down and it is amazing how soft balls he was giving AJ when you explain the questions down
Me neither. Nor Snowden. I think they both show that the left is just as susceptible to be taken by scammers as anybody else. People get drunk on their own notions and lose perspective.
Same. And you saw the clip. Alex bonehead was literally welcoming being attacked on sandy hook and Glenn didn't bite! Not just that but str8 up refused to bite. He was actually a worse human being than Alex right then and there! Alex literally said he should be judged for it and Glenn literally said he doesn't give a crap about the horrible thing that Alex did back then. Like wtf these two are monsters and like I said, I'm starting to think Glenn might be worse. Worse in certain ways at least. Shyeesh!
Glenn is that guy who did one brave thing one time and ever sense has been a grifting douchebag ever since. However because of that one instance where he was good, some people will always see him as that.
