re: #564 Pie-onist Overlord

Eisler = if you criticize Greenwald for being a douche you’re a tool of the state, because big media doesn’t like Greenwald.

With bonus irony:

One notable (and potentially risky) feature of Twitter is how instantly people use it to express themselves. Often there’s little thought, little filtering, between the impulse behind a tweet and the expression in the tweet itself. So it’s fascinating to see how reflexively focused these people are on Greenwald’s personality, and how (at best) unconcerned they are about a fellow “journalist” calling for a blatantly unconstitutional system of prior restraint of the press and imprisonment of journalists. Their diction is remarkably telling: the most important thing to Alter is that he thinks Greenwald is a “jerk.” What Chait finds most relevant is that he thinks Kinsley “fillets Greenwald.” Lane is concerned only with who has the bigger intellect — Greenwald or Kinsley. The piece matters to Nazaryan because it’s a “takedown of the self-righteous Greenwald.”

So it’s our fault to note Greenwald’s obvious character flaws and thin skinned ego because of (horrible bad governments stuffs).

I’m incredulous reading this stuff, it’s so f’ing stupid.
