If it’s really true that the US Marshals purposely avoided arresting this US citizen on US soil, and chose to shoot and kill him instead without provocation, then everyone involved and responsible should be prosecuted. https://t.co/VYMrBDFN1K— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) October 15, 2020

Marcy Wheeler tears Greenwald's story (which he's now posted online, because of course he fucking has) into thin strips and beats him with them...
A long Twitter thread starts here. She picks out four false statements in the story's first paragraph, and keeps going.

― Muswell Hillbilly Elegy (President Keyes), Friday, 30 October 2020 02:23 (three years ago) link
I get what Taibbi and Greenwald are saying, but dying on this hill in the service of another four years of a guy who is openly saying he wants to be a dictator is a choice that I'm having trouble understanding. Like would they have wanted to be the guys in Germany yelling about how unfair the media was being to Hitler? I dunno, maybe they're right, and losing trust in our media outlets has driven us into our media bubbles and made everything worse, but I think the media (old-school and social) is just trying to figure out how to deal with a bad actor who is happy to lie at scale, with a huge ecosystem of leeches, grifters, and conspiracy-peddling enablers happy to keep the lies rolling. I don't think that Greenwald or Taibbi has the answer to this crisis, and it seems like they are focusing more on an effect of Trumpism rather than a cause, much as they'd like to think it was the reverse.
― DJI, Friday, 30 October 2020 02:47 (three years ago) link
dji otm. It’s possible that something embarrassing to Joe Biden could emerge from a deep dive of the hunter emails, but at this time, who cares? Trump is more corrupt than Biden.

I think they are 100% right on this... the problem is they themselves (Greenwald and Taibbi) aren't any exception to the rule, despite any indignant cries of impartiality to the contrary. And the insulated, hyper partisan corner they've driven themselves into specifically is maybe the most poisonous one around.
