Utopia Talk / Politics / A real tweet by a real US Representative

murder Member	Tue Jan 25 12:12:16 Jim Banks @RepJimBanks Have we ever seen a President attack and malign the free press like Joe Biden has?? http://twitter.com/RepJimBanks/status/1485753654854438916
murder Member	Tue Jan 25 12:13:14 And a perfect response ... Mama Kin @LittleMamaKin I congratulate Jim Banks on his new found sobriety. Being a blackout drunk for 5 years must have taken its toll. http://twitter.com/LittleMamaKin/status/1485972136099516419
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Jan 25 12:29:16 for the record, Biden called Doocy & apologized right after so minimally, that's 1 more apology than Trump ever gave as 'president'
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Jan 25 12:31:28 also, maybe Doocy is just a nepotism-hired idiot: http://twitter.com/therecount/status/1485765995973296130
Habebe Member	Tue Jan 25 12:44:37 Trump doesn't apologize. Yes obviously Trump argued more with left wing media. Of course TW does damage control for Biden instead of claiming "Unfit! Manchild cusses in public" or some shit.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Jan 25 12:57:18 Biden should not have said it... happy? i noted he apologized as i'm continuing to see tweets from fraudosphere freaking out about the comment w/ no acknowledgment of the apology a continuous pattern of smearing the media, including repeatedly calling them 'the enemy of the people' & having his cultists boo them as a staple of his rallies seems substantially worse
murder Member	Tue Jan 25 13:01:06 "i noted he apologized as i'm continuing to see tweets from fraudosphere freaking out about the comment w/ no acknowledgment of the apology" Yeah that's the plan. Biden shouldn't have apologized because getting that kind of reaction is exactly what Doocy is sent there to do.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Jan 25 13:02:21 i wish this wasn't behind a paywall... http://www...rump-complete-insult-list.html but i do like how it says "loading insults..." as page loads (taking some time as so many)
Paramount Member	Tue Jan 25 15:19:17 @ggreenwald Grave attack on press freedom. This is what the Nazis did: incited hatred against those who challenged them ("Lügenpresse"). Solidarity with Peter Doocy. It's a dangerous time to tell the truth in America. I hope all press freedom groups and other outlets will condemn this attack. http://twi...tatus/1485755646511304710?s=21 The US has to respect the press.
Habebe Member	Tue Jan 25 15:38:23 "Biden should not have said it... happy?" I guess a little. But honestly it never bothered me that he did. Yes, Trump was FAR more adversarial to the press, no reasonable person would think otherwise. Jim banks was likely trolling.
murder Member	Tue Jan 25 16:11:19 "@ggreenwald Grave attack on press freedom. This is what the Nazis did: incited hatred against those who challenged them ("Lügenpresse").

Rugian will be along shortly to explain that Greenwald is a leftist rather than a right wing Russian toolbot.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Jan 25 16:18:38 i'm relatively sure Greenwald being sarcastic but i doubt Jim Banks was though & Greenwald is being a dick in pretending there was no reason to criticize Trump's anti-media campaign... it's not like it was in good faith & that he promoted good sources, instead he promoted OANN & Hannity & attacked Fox when not loyal enough to him (& got gullible people like HR to presume any negative story about Trump was automatically false even w/o a denial)
murder Member	Tue Jan 25 18:03:08 Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald Peter Doocy is doing his job as a journalist: holding powerful political officials accountable, asking the tough questions. For that, he is demeaned and verbally assaulted by the most powerful politician in the country, in public, possibly inciting violence by his followers. http://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1485756144727515136 Greenwald is what he is.
Y2A Member	Tue Jan 25 18:21:02 Biden was right
Habebe Member	Tue Jan 25 19:33:30 I fucking love greenwald...but as someone who regularly follows his reporting/he is mostly trolling. If Jim banks isn't, he is retarded.Mabey he is though, I never heard of him.
Y2A Member	Tue Jan 25 19:38:55 Greenwald seems like a legit agent of the Russian Federation.
Habebe Member	Tue Jan 25 20:50:14 это сумасшедшее обвинение!!!
Paramount Member	Wed Jan 26 02:32:49 I don’t know but maybe Greenwald has started to derail. Once he might have been a professional reporter/journalist/writer or whatever. But now, with the lack of a breaking story a la Snowden to tell, he is not in the spotlight anymore and is probably feeling depressed. Twiter may be a way for him to get his fix. The acknowledgement, attention and the likes. But his journalistic work on Twitter is similar to what we can read here in this forum or from any other anti-establishment Twitter account.
Paramount Member	Wed Jan 26 03:04:52 But maybe I’m unfair. Greenwald is like the only, or one of few, journalists who are questioning liberal media’s claim that Trump is a Russian mole. Maybe we need those voices too.
Forwyn Member	Wed Jan 26 08:31:26 Crying about this is as retarded as crying about muhhhhhh Russian mole Greenwald. It was a rare moment of clarity from Biden and pretty hilarious.
Forwyn Member	Wed Jan 26 08:34:39 That said, it does highlight the pandering they did about being nice and doting to the media all tbe time
murder Member	Thu Jan 27 08:03:53 Here's "leftist" Glen Greenwald retweeting (checks notes) ... Tucker Carlson? http://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1485702640130732032
