The Intercept Promised to Reveal Everything. Then Its Own Scandal Hit.

This is about how Reality Winner ended up in prison. I think she got coronavirus, too. No compassionate release for her like for Manafort.

I have already read that she is NEVER allowed to talk about her case. Not now. Not ever.

She trusted Glenn Greenwald, of all people.




Her mom tweets.

Between the Reid Out and Maddow, it's like a black hole. I lose my interest and find something else to do.

We must correct misinformation wherever we see it. Come on folks please make sure you
have the names right before you slur someone.

The Intercept should never be trusted as a source. It never should have been. Greenwald is not a progressive voice in any way.

Or more. Since Ronnie Ray Gun stole the presidency by colluding with the mullahs in Iran, the fascists have been out in the open. They were sort of in stealth.mode up until then. I guess they were busy securing the money business and industry. Think supply side economic voodoo.

The article makes it clear that they have learned nothing. And worse, they don’t care.

Established mainstream news like WaPo, NYTimes, etc. should have strong processes for protecting their sources.

Government contracting firms don't want to sponsor brown Americans like me for security clearances but they will always sponsor white people like Reality Winner and Edward Snowden without hesitation. Race based security fails again.

eventually?

White Supremacists do not like gays, not sure what universe Greenwald lives in, he will be a target of these awful people, he is definitely on the wrong side.

I’ll likely listen to it again - her plight with coronavirus seems the most relevant point about this whole mess. She shouldn’t be in prison, and in a better world, the likes of glenn greenwald do not yuck it up with tucker carlson.
