In reply to the discussion: The real reason a very loud few are posting hostility toward Glenn Greenwald at DU: [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)often they have been debunked? I haven't counted, but I believe there are about six of them.
Whenever they are posted, AGAIN, I think of HB Gary for some reason. It was hard to find anything damaging on Greenwald, so they dug deep and ended up twisting facts he himself has been open about. You have to sympathize a little when someone is trying to get a contract to smear someone and they can't find much of anything I imagine. So resorting to twisting facts is all they can do, no? I wonder who ended up getting that contract after HB Gary was exposed?
But more interesting is how they try to use these talking points to distract from the issues he writes about, over and over again, hoping to make it about him, to derail threads and redirect the conversation away from the issues.
After failing so often you would think by now there would be some new talking points, but so far, not even one, same old talking points.
But maybe you haven't seen them? I doubt they are being paid, just more than willing to try to discredit anyone who dares to go outside the Corporate controlled media with some facts. After all once the media was controlled, I suppose they thought they had accomplished their goal.
The solution to all this is for our Govt Agencies not to do anything they have to work so hard to try to hide. Hopefully soon we will get there.
