Glenn Greenwald Asks If Liberal Journalists Will Ever Become Self-Aware

Journalism meme

In the last two weeks, we've heard of the entire Sports Illustrated staff being laid off, 115 employees of the Los Angeles Times being laid off, as well as Business Insider and Forbes announcing layoffs. It's a dark time for political activists who call themselves journalists. I haven't been able to tap into much sympathy — probably about as much as these journalists had for the pipeline workers who were laid off the second Joe Biden took office.

We learned firsthand yesterday that the only Latina on the Los Angeles Times opinion desk had been laid off. It's so much worse than that, though. AP White House reporter and CNN analyst Seung Min Kim let us know the racial breakdown of the layoffs at the Los Angeles Times. 

Yeah, it does, doesn't it?

What race were the majority of the people laid off? Never mind, we don't care.

Glenn Greenwald has asked what so many of us have asked in the wake of all of these layoffs — will they inspire any introspection at all from the media?

No. They'll just blame X for feeding people disinformation and the public for lapping it up without going through the "professionals."

It reminds me of Brian Stelter. He held down a gig for a while, and even hosted his own show on CNN, as the network's media reporter. The Washington Post has one too, but I can't remember his name. Wait, yes I can, it's Erik Wemple. Media outlets have hired reporters to cover the media. And yet they never see any red flags.

They closed the Newseum. What a dark day that was.

The funny thing is, they all consider their news outlets to be "centrist." That's because every single one of their colleagues is also a leftist activist.

But it's an election year? Who is going to protect us from all the Russian disinformation?

They'll never get it.
