Caitlin Johnstone, Glenn Greenwald, Max Blumenthal, Rania Khalek, Aaron Mate, Robert Scheer, Jimmy Dore, Ryan Knight, and Hard Lens Media give me a reasonably accurate picture of the mountains of crap pulled by my country on any given day. It's apparent that one must go outside those employed by corporate media to get this information. All else is comfy cheerleading.
BTW Caitlin, I appreciate the amount of work you're putting out of late. I noticed.
Given The Guardian's history with Luke Harding, it's less than shocking for the site to publish this nonsense. "In 2011 Guardian journalists David Leigh and Luke Harding published a book, WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange’s War on Secrecy. The book provided a passphrase to the unredacted US cables.
The passphrase Leigh and Harding disclosed featured prominently in a chapter heading of the book. It’s worth mentioning that Harding was also co-author of a Guardian article that claimed Paul Manafort, Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, met with Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in London. In an exclusive, The Canary went on to report the claim that the story was false."
Caitlin, I red your book (excellent!) and I listen to your podcast. You often say that our strength is in numbers. That we can win because there is more of us than them. By "them", I know who you mean but I am not sure that I understand who you mean by "us". Who do you think is out there who understands what you are saying?
If Paul Robinson (a respected Canadian scholar) is to be believed, the "leaked screenshots ZOMG!" contain linguistic and grammatical errors that no native speaker of Russian would make.
When someone is repeatedly writing unsubstantiated innuendo as hard news in major publications it needs to be talked about. The more people are made aware of this the better.
She's not demanding he be fired either. She's just saying it's embarrasseing for these organizations to keep publishing him. They are ruining the very little credibility they have left.

Viva Frei and Robert Barnes are good too! And Matt Taibbi!

Why isn't Luke Harding being prosecuted like Julian Assange? /s

If Luke Harding were working the counter at a fast food joint, I'd be sure to count my change.
Do these idiots belong to a club? - of idiots?
Somebody writes something that I think is untrue, I hit the big X and get on with my life. I don't lobby for other people to be fired or censored.

I am reading this article laughing but eventually I almost started crying at the miserable state of the media.
