Corporate journalists have license to use their huge platforms to malign, expose and destroy anyone they want. Your moral duty: sit in respectful silence and never object.
Once you understand that the concerns you describe are *class* concerns, that is, the concerns of the Professional Managerial Class, everything makes sense.
Taylor Lorenz is a horrible human being - I’ve seen her articles where she takes down young girls and is not a champion for women or anyone, but herself. Thank you for calling out her crocodile tears and pathetic victim statement. As a woman, I am disgusted by her vitriolic hack journalism that makes women journalists look catty and petty. She’s got nothing on you or Julian Assange.
To coin a much overused phrase, you just can't make this shit up. Lorenz, Todd, WaPo and the Times can all go eff themselves. Another brilliant piece by Glenn, I'm just sorry I didn't start reading his stuff long before Substack!
"I've come down from the upper class to mend your rotten ways. My father was a man of power whom everyone obeyed. Your bread and water is going cold, your hair is short and neat. I'll judge you all and make damn sure that no one judges me." - Jethro Tull.
She missed out on awards season. All this CIA and corporate media collusion should have its own Pravda awards ceremony. They're so desperate to make this about 'harm' and 'abuse' that requires protection and 'safe spaces' online, all just another excuse for the establishment collusion of Big Tech and the regime to censor, exclude, blacklist, ban etc. But remember, it's Russia that's evil.
“At most, Lorenz has probably angered several teenagers on TikTok while Chuck Todd does not even do that. Thus, the worst they have ever faced for their trivial, power-serving gossip masquerading as “reporting” are mean tweets, so of course they want to elevate those as the gravest moral crime, as the height of trauma. Only then can they center themselves and feel important.”
Anyone can notice that all the invented criticisms of Glenn are logical fallacies...red herrings, ad hominem and the list goes on. These pampered propagandists and their followers have no arguments, and must submit to establishment power for acceptance and to keep/obtain wealth/privilege. Anyone who questions the evil, warmongering, racist, homophobic establishment gets hit with the logical fallacy storm. I have always observed many establishment Democrat mainstream types are the real facists, which is evidenced by the threats Greenwald receives. Maybe this sums up their worship and support of Neo Nazis in Ukraine.
This is all very typical of the left. When you can't support an argument with facts, simply claim one of the following to end the debate quickly: harassment, racism or anti-trans. If all three can be thrown at once, even better. The usefulness of this method is, by claiming to not be one of those things, you have proven you ARE one of those things. Brilliant.
Imagine how much it cost to educate Taylor Lorenz, swiss boarding school, university of Colorado Boulder. All this to produce someone who's sole contribution to society is "reporting" about useless shit that happens on Twitter.
She's really the perfect example of the sort of class issues America has. People out there working and trying to figure out how to pay for child care, rent, etc. But here we are, the news is reporting on some mean tweets this person is getting over some inane nonsense that happened online. Clown world.
Another in the parade of real smart observations by Glenn Greenwald. The only thing missing is an in-depth analysis of the psychology of the modern bully: terrified of being counter attacked they've come up with an all purpose defense --- opinions other than theirs are, a-priori, calls for violence and brutality. Hillary can't exactly be credited with inventing this approach --but she perfected it. Every critique of her bullshit is a call for harm to her person. Naturally this approach ends what we used to call The Dialectic. That's what it's meant to do. The good news is reasonable folks have had a belly full of this crap and are flocking to people like Glenn to hear 'the other side."
Yes, how dare the miasmic throngs of the unlettered and unwashed stop groveling at the perfectly-pedicured feet of our overeducated, overprivileged media Elites. Who the hell are you to question Chelsea Clinton (aka: The Undisputed Empress of Griftistan) err, sorry! I mean Taylor Lorenz. She graduated from top-tier universities. She's better than you in every possible way, you Trump/Bernie-supporting naïf! What the hell have you ever done with your life, loser? Unless you watch MSNBC, you are incapable of forming thoughts or opinions on your own. And stop brining up Hillary's record...you misogynistic, sexist pig!
Lorenz is a spoiled brat. She attended an elite summer camp with my daughter and they were cabin mates, and manipulated or tried to manipulate every girl in that cabin. Looks like she has not matured and social media is her new cabin. I don't participate much social media and didn't realize the disgusting ecosystem that these political operatives seem to dominate. What a cesspool. Thank you Glenn for your calling this out for what it is.
Is there some sort of alternative universe these people live in that only interacts with reality at certain specified points in time? I'm having difficulty believing what I am reading/seeing with these people.
My God, that criticism against Lorenz to start off the article was so deserved. Glad you took her and her crocodile tears down a peg.
Keep the truth coming and thank God for real journalists
