Arsehole has a point.
The problem arises when some people think this means that we should make it okay to both advocate genocide and molest mascots, rather than both being not okay.
The Gorka one, it was talking about the hypocrisy of his message and how much it aligns with the experts he calls out by name as being entirely wrong. The other is about how one of the few GOP town halls was a dismal effort leaving everyone unhappy, and talks about how the GOP is setting up local shops for the first time in the district for 2018. Neither are pro Trump or his agenda, though the first got the corporate media headline aiming for clicks.
She even retweeted how the Jane Sanders story was from Clinton’s campaign earlier…
EDIT
And considering some of the twitter streams from journalists I have seen, I would put someone like Greenwald as the most likely closet Trump supporter.
Haberman is a Comms expert; what she’s doing isn’t in the surface message. Just getting the phrase “Sebastian Gorka has a point” out there has a large psychological impact. She’s using a full knowledge of modern psychological and marketing science.
Since I’m apparently going full paranoid today, I wouldn’t be surprised to find that Greenwald is on Vlad’s payroll.
He’s always been good on every subject except Russia and Clinton.
Storm brewing in Sydney.
Literally.
Greenwald’s feed looks clean, although I can’t read the high ratio of Spanish articles. The pinned tweet is highly dubious.
If he’s bent: either he’s already done his thing, or they’re saving him for later.
I was more joking that journalists tend to get particularly shitty when they refuse to admit they are wrong. I imagine that is what happened here.
America is slowly realising that all of those “hooray for the Confederacy!” folks were serious about wanting to have slavery back.
On the Haberman thing:
It’s probably pretty obvious by now what I’m doing here. Trust one propagandist to recognise another?
It’s a “takes a thief to catch a thief” type situation. She is very good at this.
I’ve never really hidden what I’m doing, and I am doing it honestly and in defense of the truth. Maggie ain’t.

Note that she’s dropped back to RT’s only in order to avoid direct critique.
She may pop back up eventually if things turn, though.
It was getting to the point where not overtly acknowledging what I was doing would become dishonest. I’m still doing the same as I’ve always done.
KosowL is his own snowflake.
Did the fistballs have a tournament tonight? Oh my stars!
The greatest void in my understanding of history was my failure to appreciate the extent to which Whig historiography wasn’t just a historian’s mistake; it was a political movement.
Memory war.

Sneaky historians have been planning a revolution all this time, and the scientists never caught on. Typical.
I am not saying that any individual historian planned anything. But the profession of historians, as a whole, possesses a psyche that is greater than the sum of its parts.
That psyche was prepared for this; there was always an American socialist revolution waiting in the wings. But it was held in reserve, in case of emergency, because it was obvious that the risk was immense. It wasn’t worth it unless the worst-case scenario occurred.
But then it did.
Looking at the situation today, I am astonished at the courage and organisation of the left. Holy shit, these kids are good. Bush-era Occupy provided the cadre, Bernie mobilised them, the DNC radicalised them, and Trump stirred them to action.
The right have no idea how much of a sleeping giant they have awoken.
The healthcare fight is in some ways trivial: whatever healthcare America ends up with, it won’t be either Obamacare or the GOP “plan”.
But it’s also essential: it’s the one issue that awoke the middle class.
Two stories that make Trump look good if he can claim success in the emergency response (reality has nothing to do with that), one story on a social side issue to buy Liberal credibility, one story that highlights Obama largesse to the mudbloods. With a big picture of Barack’s black face bang in the middle.
