I’m not historically a big fan of Glenn Greenwald, but I think he’s spot on when he says the media is manipulating the American people to an unprecedented degree right now. I have no idea if the intelligence community part is right, he certainly knows much more on that topic than I do, but it should be obvious to anyone who’s ever written and sourced a story that this constant “people familiar with the matter” stuff, especially when quoting sources within the intelligence apparatus, is utter bullshit. You’re either making shit up to make the story conclude what you want it to conclude or you’re being fed information that you can’t verify. And as a journalist that means you’re at best shit at your craft and at worst morally bankrupt.

It is a union of journalists who have decided that their only goal is to defend Joe Biden and election him president of the United States working with the FBI, CIA, NSA not to manipulate our adversaries or foreign governments, but to manipulate the American people for their own ends. It’s been going on for four straight years now and there’s no sign of it stopping anytime soon.

Oh yeah, and Schiff is indeed an utter douchebag.
