AS far as I can tell, it wasn’t even a news story. It was a tweet. And then later clarified after brought to her attention. I find it hard to believe that it justifies this long blog.
This is the first thing I’ve seen him wrote in years. And it is horrible.

- S_A_P 6y agoYou are correct in that, but I don't know that there is much difference any more. Tweets are in TV news/News websites all the time. The fact that it is a pretty well known journalist will likely hold much more weight with some folks.
- gnicholas 6y ago> it wasn’t even a news story. It was a tweet. If this had turned out to be true, it surely would have sparked several news stories. The reason that such a long post by Greenwald was warranted is that the journalist was clearly trying to create a story with the tweet.
- kenjackson 6y agoGiven the fact that she is a journalist, couldn’t she just write the story? And she later noted the clarification that it wasn’t him. I don’t hold tweets at the same bar as a reputable news publication. Tweets are often point in time, not verified, often on whim. Grenwald’s blog seemed more appropriate for yellow cake taking us to war than this tweet.
