Glenn Greenwald should have a thread of his own...


Does Glenn Greenwald Hate America?

November 7, 2013 By Robert Spencer

The Los Angeles chapter of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has announced that Glenn Greenwald, the far-Left journalist who publicized Edward Snowden’s information about the astonishingly broad extent of NSA electronic surveillance programs, will be its keynote speaker at its Orwellian-named “Faith in Freedom” dinner on November 16.

This will be the first time that Greenwald, who now lives in Brazil, will return to the United States since the NSA scandal broke. It is not surprising that a CAIR event would be the occasion for his return, since he has said that “there really is no organization with which I’d rather be spending my time, or with which I feel more at home than CAIR.”

Yet CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR operatives have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements. Its California chapter distributed a poster telling Muslims not to talk to the FBI. CAIR has opposed every anti-terror measure that has ever been proposed or implemented.

...

At the CAIR dinner he will be speaking along with the imam Siraj Wahhaj, one of the most sought-after speakers on the Muslim speakers circuit in the U.S. Wahhaj was designated a “potential unindicted co-conspirator” in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing for taking the Blind Sheik to speak at mosques in New York and New Jersey in the early 1990s.

...

And so, as he prepares to return to America to hobnob with members of the notorious Hamas-linked Muslim Brotherhood front group CAIR, the question must be asked: does Glenn Greenwald hate America? Or does he just act as if he does?

Billionaire’s lefty website embarrassed – again
By Thomas Lifson

...

You see, when a lefty internet billionaire announced he was committing $250 million to a left-wing internet publishing outfit, I was a tad peeved, having launched American Thinker on a shoestring and a prayer. It didn’t help that the “marquee voice” of the outfit was Glenn Greenwald, an old acquaintance/sparring partner of mine dating back to the dawn of the internet. Glenn’s a smart guy, sociable in person, but he has gone hard left in the years since we knew each other.


...

But now, The Intercept has been busted and has officially apologized for the worst of sins: publishing made-up quotes from interviews that just happen to serve its left-wing agenda. Ashe Schow reports in the Examiner:

Intercept reporter Juan Thompson was fired last month for fabricating quotes in his articles and creating fake email accounts to impersonate sources. (snip)

...



The Intercept has retracted one of Thompson's stories completely (but has left it up on the website with a note) and made corrections to others. The retracted story involved Scott Roof, the alleged cousin of Charleston, South Carolina shooter Dylann Roof. Dylann made headlines in 2015 when he murdered nine black churchgoers in an attack motivated by racism.

Thompson claimed he spoke to Scott about the shooter. Scott allegedly told Thompson that "Dylann was normal until he started listening to that white power music stuff" and "he kind of went over the edge when a girl he liked starting dating a black guy two years back."

During their investigation, editors for the Intercept spoke to members of the Roof family, who said they had never heard of a cousin named Scott.

In another story, about Black Lives Matter activists being blocked from a Donald Trump rally, Thompson invented quotes and people. He gave the full name of one of his sources, who told The Intercept that she was not at the rally, was not a Trump supporter, and never spoke to Thompson. The Intercept also couldn't verify the existence of a BLM activist who allegedly provided a quote to Thompson.

Pierre Omidyar, who made his fortune by founding, and then selling eBay, has not exactly covered himself in glory. It is supposed to be fun being a lefty billionaire – you get to be rich and escape criticism from the left. But it turns out that journalism is a lot of work and tricky to manage. Maybe he finally will decide that this lavishly funded left-wing internet stuff isn’t worth the trouble.

Lefties make up lies to fit their agendas? How shocking!

That makes them members in good standing in the JoeyB Dolezal Society, no?
