he’s a bit galaxy-brained sometimes but critical support for him on this one.

There’s a statement by someone at the intercept. Which sounds plausible just because the statement basically reads as “even IRL he never. logs. off.”
lol imagine trashing your brand to protect Joe Biden
One positive effect for the Left under Biden is that the tide will be recede and you’re going to start to see who was grifting and who wasn’t.
Yep, everyone already knows that the right wing news is totally full of garbage and lies to protect Trump’s image to his base. Now we’ll start to see the “left wing” news do the exact same thing for Biden.
True, but we already could tell by just remembering what people did pre-trump
There’s no way this is what’s happening. They were publishing stories about Tara Reade constantly for months, even after Bernie had long dropped out.
Yes, but it could be editors didn’t want to publish those pieces. The Hunter Biden corruption story is interesting because it’s not an indictment on just Hunter but the entire political class and many journalists who run in the same circles.
Pay for access is common in capitalism. Journalists write fawningly to maintain access to sources.
We’ve known for years that Biden and his family are corrupt, but it’s run of the mill corruption. I see this as an attempt by the Intercept to narrow debate on criticism of Dems more narrowly to try and attract more investors/a more lib audience. My lib siblings went from liking Feinstein to hating her. There’s a shift in libs willingness to be adversarial to elected Dems, but it only goes so far. The Intercept wants to cash in on this moment.
Yeah this argument makes sense, that the moment has shifted away from we need to burn this party down because the base will never be with us (for succdems) vs liberals are sick of the democrats being useless.
But I still struggle to fully believe that there is meaningful censorship there to protect Biden, many of their staff was talking about the story on social media, if this was purely about censorship you’d be seeing other staff publicly leaving today too and we haven’t. Greenwald likely had an exit strategy in the making for some time and he blew up the whole thing in order to regain lost credibility with the whistle blower community after he lost a ton of it from the reality winner story.
The intercept is never going to truly be accepted in the mainstream of the democratic party, so they gain absolutely nothing by protecting Biden.
fuck the intercept, can’t even post anything critic al of biden on there??
tho, to be honest, i do think lee fang is a racist. seen a few tweets of his that are just blatantly anti black.
They aren’t trumpers in waiting lol
It’s tough politically to link those two together in any way. GG is basically a civil libertarian. Taibbi is a left lib/new deal democrat.
The only real link is that they are white guys who don’t like “cancel culture”
Greenwald and Taibbi are the gen x trumpers in waiting.
Nah, doubtful. Listen to Greenwald on A Time of Monsters podcast for some insight on his views on Trump and why bringing down the Democrats is a more worthwhile cause for him.
i also find it kinda funny that like 4 of us all made posts about this within 2 minutes of each other. :chavez-salute: to my extremely online comrades.
