As he’s watched the Sordid Saga of Hunter Biden continue to unfold, Glenn Greenwald can’t help but make some observations. Not about Hunter Biden, though there are certainly many observations to be made about him — including some stuff we wish we could un-observe. No, these observations concern our media. Our sad, pathetic, shameful excuses for media.
The journalistic class has been given ample opportunity to show us why we’re wrong to have so little faith in them, and they’ve squandered it over and over again. They demand respect from the public, yet they don’t have enough respect for the public to be honest or admit to their mistakes when called out.
Greenwald, as is his wont, went after the media today in another typically brutal thread:
Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) ~ I would like to note that -- shortly before the 2020 election -- numerous large media outlets ratified the CIA lie that the documents on Hunter Biden's laptop were "Russian disinformation." Even today -- after the NYT & WPost both authenticated them -- not *one* has retracted it.
Because that would require admitting that they screwed up, and there are just too many members of our legacy media who are fully convinced that they’re infallible. ...
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
