The last 3 paragraphs of this read is a summary of the entire article: “This system of unlimited domestic spying was built by both parties, which only rouse themselves to object when the power lies in the other side’s hands. Just last year, the vast majority of the GOP caucus joined with a minority of Democrats led by Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff to hand President Trump all-new domestic spying powers while blocking crucial reforms and safeguards to prevent abuse. The spying machinery that Edward Snowden risked his life and liberty to expose always has been, and still is, a bipartisan creation.
Perhaps these revelations will finally lead to a realization about how rogue, and dangerous, these police state agencies have become, and how urgently needed is serious reform. But if nothing else, it must serve as a tonic to the three years of unrelenting media propaganda that has deceived and misled millions of Americans into believing things that are simply untrue.
None of these journalists have acknowledged an iota of error in the wake of this report because they know that lying is not just permitted but encouraged as long as it pleases and vindicates the political beliefs of their audiences. Until that stops, credibility and faith in journalism will never be restored, and – despite how toxic it is to have a media that has no claim on credibility – that despised status will be fully deserved.”
Notes:
As a lawyer and a journalist, himself, Greenwald cuts out the dross and only presents the ‘meat’ of what he is saying in an article.
This article has highlighting, listing, cutting/ pasting as a way to highlight main ideas and details. Read the article and note them.
Pay particular attention to what Matt Taibbi says. Why is what he says especially important?
As a USC, what do you think should be done about total spying on us on our soil and off of it?
Please read this important article. This is Red Pill material.
