Leftists think they are getting real news. That’s a major problem for America

From far left Glenn Greenwald:

The extent to which Democrats in the US trust the planet's largest media corporations is amazing, and speaks volumes about why they're so easily propagandized.

It also shows on whose side those media corporations are.

What I find revealing is the way Democrats are always quick to attack the SOURCE of a damaging story - e.g. "oh look, it's FOX News and everyone knows they never tell the truth".

When Democrats can't refute the substance of a story, their default is to shoot the messenger. It's a sure sign they know they're in trouble, and it tells me the story needs to be pursued more aggressively lol.

Republicans do it too, but not nearly as much. Even when they point out a source is biased, they still try to address the substance of the story using facts and reasoning.

Well, it wasn't Democrats who coined, and then stupidly overused, the term "fake news" as a reply to every single story they haven't liked in recent years.
Just sayin'.

Very true. We see examples of this here all the time

You're distorting what we are saying.

Go ahead and question the validity of a source all you want.

Just don't stop there. Try to address the SUBSTANCE of what that source is saying as well. If you can.

You'll never see me call something "fake" without elaborating and telling you exactly what is fake about it.

Why is it that as far left Glenn Greenwald notes, Democrats are so easily propagandized?

Inquiring minds want to know

Another misrepresentation by you, calling Glenn Greenwald
" far left"
This what he feels about it.

In conversation around 2021 with Glenn Beck, Greenwald said:

"The Democratic Party is a party that I view as completely repressive and not just the Democratic Party but the liberal movement that supports it. By liberal, just to be clear, I don't mean the far left, the kind of left-wing movement that supported Bernie Sanders—a lot of them hate Democrats at least as much as people on the right.

Berry why can't you post without all this exaggeration?

Glenn Greenwald is a outwardly gay, far left journalist. Just because he dislikes mainstream Democrats does not make him any less far-left. He supported Bernie Sanders - you can't get much more far left than that. In addition, Greenwald criticizes a number of entities. He was one of the most powerful critics of the “war on terror” in the Bush era, the US Security state, censorship, etc.

He is still far left. Now, back to the question which you are obviously trying to distract people from:

I posted the truth and anyone who researches Greenwald will know I'm right.
But I forgot, in your world anyone who has ever been critical of a republican President, has to be far left.
If anything, Greenwald is a centralist who does not follow either party

which makes Greenwald a neutral commentator without political bias


thanks for clearing that up

No you didn't. Please tell us which of these facts are incorrect and why

And even if I said you are correct (you aren't) about Greenwald being a centrist, then that would make him an unbiased journalist. So back to the question which you are trying to distract people from:
