Will Glenn GreenWald, Matt Taibbi, and Jill Stein finally come out and admiit they were wrong about

[still_one]

a Russian connection? That this was NOT an example of McCarthyism, mass hysteria speculation about Russian involvement, or a red herring?

Matt Taibbi's argument was that because we were lied to about the WMDs in Iraq. that implies the Russian involvement must not be true. The two events not only have nothing to do with each other, the agencies and people involved in those different events were not the same.

I am not going to hold my breath, but it would be refreshing to see if at least the journalists in that group admitted an error in their initial analysis of the situation

[FreepFryer]

1. Nope, because at least two out of three of them are Russian assets. (n/t)

[Freethinker65]

2. +1

[pnwmom]

5. I agree. n/t

[uponit7771]

13. +1

[Hortensis]

31. :) Yup. And because they're never really wrong,

everyone else is. They are the wise ones. Thomas Jefferson felt strongly that completely ignoring their counterparts who flocked to power in his day was the only sensible way to handle the problem. The Kremlin of course puts their dysfunction to use and I suspect finds most pretty easy pickings.

3. I don't think you understand it

I don't really agree with it, but I understand from whence they come.

[marylandblue]

6. None of the three are objective thinkers on this issue.

[zipplewrath]

15. Well that's true

Not sure that guarentees the conclusion however.

[still_one]

10. I understand perfectly well where they came from. Out of the three, Matt Taibbi is probably the

only one who would admit a error, and might have already. As for Stein and Greenwald, absolutely not. Geenwald's ego, and know it all attitude absolutely shock me if he did. He is a grandstander

[dawg day]

27. Jill Stein, at least, comes from Putin's table.

Remember, she went there on a paid trip courtesy of the Russians.

Here's a picture of the head table-- Stein and Michael Flynn, Putin, Dmitry Peskov.

I don't know why anyone would believe Jill Stein about Russia.

[sheshe2]

4. No way in hell.

[Iliyah]

7. No.

[Snackshack]

8. Opinions.

Everyone has them for better or worse.

I like Matt Taibbi’s writing. I don’t always agree but it provides a differing POV. I will give him credit for his coverage of the 2008 financial catastrophe. “Griftopia” & “The Divide- American Injustice in the Age of the Wealth Gap” are good reads, frustrating due to the subject but good reads. Plus his very apt “Vampire Squid” description of Goldman Sach is beautiful and one I will never forget.

[still_one]

11. Taibbi is the only one in that list I can see admit a misjudgement. He might have already done so

for all I know, and I may have missed it.

and your right, his coverage of the 2008 financial implossion was well done

[JHan]

9. No. Collectively they're a hot mess.

[Cha]

12. Shite NO.. that would be facing

up to the truth.. and that's something they're not capable of. Doesn't fit their agenda. They got their fans and I guess that's enough for them.

Can't forget susan Lying her head OFF sarand0n.



My message to Van Jones.. No, I would Never "consider jill" stein's LIES. But, no thanks for pushing that BullShit.

[still_one]

21. I didn't realize Van Jones suggested that.

[Cha]

22. I wasn't

surprised.. I saved it 'cause he needs to be held accountable for his part.

[still_one]

23. I appreciate it, and agree. No excuse for that s**t

[emulatorloo]

14. I ass-ume Putin has kompromat on both Stein And Greenwald.

Who knows about Taibbi? Has done some good work. OTOH There was that book he co-wrote about his time in Russia. Harassing Russian female employees.

[still_one]

20. Taibbi has done some good work, and if anyone, he would admit an error. I don't see the others

doing that

[calimary]

26. The other two won't.

I doubt they think they’ve done anything wrong. Judging from their smug self-satisfied behavior I’ve observed, anyway.

[WeekiWater]

16. Two out of the three are scam artists.

Snake oil salespersons who pander to groups who are easily led around by their noses. People who want their imagined beliefs confirmed. Easy marks.

Two of the three weren’t necessarily wrong, they were lying to idiots.

Sorry for using such a harsh tone. The Green Party I once loved(never voted for a GP candidate) is dead and Greenwald abuses his responsibility after becoming famous off the back of others.

[still_one]

19. I agree with your assessment

[oasis]

17. Good luck w/that.

[GulfCoast66]

18. And bite the hand that feeds 2 of the 3.

Don’t hold your breath.

[Recursion]

24. Taibbi might

Stein likes getting paid too much to do that.

[Hekate]

25. As I believe they are still counting their paychecks/honoraria/bribes/gifts...

...I expect to hear nothing from any of them.

[betsuni]

28. Speaking of Greenwald, I've been wondering if Snowden still thinks the Obama admin. was so terrible.

People who believe Republican and Democratic administrations are the same give me a headache.

[phleshdef]

29. Matt Taibbi has a little bit of an ego but not to the unhealthy point that Greenwald or Stein have.

[herding cats]

30. Of the three, Taibbi still needs a general following to generate revenue...

I, also, think he hopes to re-emerge as a contrite white Knight at this moment. That is, until he thinks he has another angle to sell. Trust me, he'll find one. He's a career building person. I know them, and he's looking constantly for his next sensation to sell. This is based on my readings of him, but I admit my eye has been jaundiced. As such, YMMV.

The other two are locked in at the moment in their paychecks, which are based on extremists and foreign entities and as they say, follow the money.
