Sorry, David Cay, you've got nothing to brag about.
He tries to exhaust Ruth with words. Nothing he says has anything to do with what he did. And, David, we all know what you did. This is not a new story for Ruth or for me or for any of us who were part of this community back in 2007 when you wrote your nasty e-mail that your pretend to not remember.
He has always gotten his way so he thinks he always will -- the Harvey Weinstein of journalists.
He is a bad person who really needs to go away. Only the deluded think he's helping anyone.
I see David Cay Tweets conspiracy b.s. and I see he reTweets the disgusting Rob Reiner.
You know what you won't see? Fat Ass David Cay Tweeting one word of support for Julian Assange.
Margaret Kimberley (BLACK AGENDA REPORT) notes:
Ever since Donald Trump was elected president we have heard a lot about people who call themselves the “resistance.” That word has very significant meaning and should not be used frivolously. The enslaved Haitian people resisted the French 200 years ago. Harriet Tubman resisted and so did Tecumseh. Brave people all over the world have resisted colonial invasion, occupation, and racist violence.
But resistance for the anti-Trump group doesn’t amount to very much. They are united in dislike of Donald Trump, but only some of the time. They call him a fascist, but they mute themselves when his fascism supports the bipartisan imperialist consensus.
The so-called resistance have been conspicuously silent ever since Julian Assange was arrested after Ecuador withdrew his asylum from its London embassy. Under the guise of defending the press, this same group became hysterical when Trump had a stupid argument with a CNN reporter.They are enraged when he refers to the media as “enemies of the people.” But when publisher and journalist Julian Assange was snatched up by the U.S. and its vassal states they either said nothing or condemned a man whose actions are the very embodiment of resistance.
David Cay is useless and garbage. Julian could be executed and David Cay can't even defend him. Why? Because David Cay is trash. That's all he is, that's all he ever will be. Trash.
"Iraq snapshot" (THE COMMON ILLS):
Wednesday, April 17, 2019. War Hawk Neera Tandem rounds up her fellow War Whores to defend her from journalism.
Neera Tanden is causing a stink yet again. She's Tweeted that her mother is a stupid idiot who doesn't understand either the press or how a phone works -- hanging up was not an option because her foreign mother is so stupid and NYT was just so evil to the old woman. That's what Neera says anyway. Neera's mother is no delicate flower and if she can handle the stink off Neera, she can handle anything. (By the way, non-stop phone calls saying, "She really does stink, doesn't she?" Yes, no joke, she does. And for people like myself who have a strong sense of smell, she's been offensive for years. Soap and water, Neera, daily.) And Neera's little War Hawk buddies from the Democratic Party are rushing to prop her up including the joke that is Paul Krugman. Paul, you are a joke.
Here's a typical Tweet. See the problem?

I thought the tone of the his story was weird because he was so clearly outraged for Bernie. Just as bad, if not worse, no one at the NYT edited or asked Vogel to rewrite it.
Ken Vogel once requested Chelsea Clinton’s school transcripts, using an FOIA form.
His story?
Elizabeth Williamson and Kenneth P. Vogel (NEW YORK TIMES) reported that story. Over the years in the US, we've come to expect that women's work is disappeared but if you ever think that's just done by men, grasp that women contribute as well -- women like Amy Mullen who write women like Elizabeth Williamson out the story.
I'm also not sure why Amy Mullen's is grasping the pearls over Kenneth Vogel asking fo Chelsea's transcripts. He's in his early forties so Chelsea was clearly an adult. It appears he requested that as Hillary was making her second run for president. That's perfectly fine and Amy Mullen is just a pathetic drama queen who's going to throw anything out there in her lust to protect her beloved Neera.
Faux feminism. If it weren't for faux feminists, the US might not have any at all. Faux feminists are just concerned that women get into spots that men hold. They're not concerned with real feminist issues. They're break the ceiling gals who want the status quo because they're too limited to imagine anything better.
Hold on though, we're not done with the stupid f**ks.
The NYT story on Neera Tanden should never have brought her mom into it. And whether you agree with Neera's views or not, her aggressiveness is one of her biggest strengths and would be lionized if she were a man.
Feminist Brian Fallon. Really, "Aggressiveness is one of her biggest strengths and would be lionized if she were a man"? Well he did work for Hillary so possibly that's where he learned that crap. But, no, Brian, aggressiveness is not admired in anyone. No one, in this day and age, says, "Thank goodness he's aggressive in the work force!" No one says that you stupid idiot.
Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress, admitted to the NYT that she assaulted an editor at her own organization for posing a mild question about the Iraq War to Hillary Clinton. nytimes.com/2019/04/15/us/…
Brian, you know what you're really doing? You're making a lot of us want to explore your boy Mayor Pete whose racism is well known in the community he represented. So as his racist gentrification program becomes a story, remember you did your part to make it one by attacking a legitimate journalism article.
Good summary.
Oh, look, nutty Rosa Brooks. Well of course. Neera did send out that e-mail asking everyone to Tweet her defense and so we're seeing those who are compromised rush forward. Rosa, for those who've forgotten, proposed that journalists be registered. I'd settle for inoculated but Rosa has always been an Orwellian nightmare.
She's a War Whore who has gotten by on her mother's reputation because she has no accomplishments of her own. She's a cheap little whore who is either too much of a liar or too stupid to know history. "Would you run an article about a male . . ."
Oh, Rosa, you old dirty whore, stop pretending you are a feminist or that you know anything.
Rosa, we get it, you're an old whore who tires easily. But stop playing the 'woman' card because you're not a feminist and you have no grasp on history -- recent or otherwise. You're just a dirty whore who came forward to defend a dirty whore named Neera. May you both find an afterlife that is as destructive as what the two of you have done to the world.
Oh, look, disgusting Gwen Ifill's cousin pops up to defend Neera. Gwen, the dead closet case who made nice with Condi -- cooking with Condi, remember, will always be the ultimate media whore who laughed in real time when Iraqis were shot up by Blackwater, who made jokes about it on the air. You'd think that would be enough to make the whole family leave public life. But if you think that, you're giving more thought to it than that pathetic family ever did.
NEW: Last week, @AmProg reached out to reporters to pick apart @BernieSanders’ “Medicare for All” plan.
* @AmProg has its own plan, which, unlike Bernie’s, reserves a role for private insurance cos. (like those that have previously donated to @AmProg).
THANKS, MOM! @NeeraTanden says she’s not out to get @BERNIESANDERS & wants unity among Democrats.
Neera’s mom, OTOH, says her daughter believes Bernie “got a pass” in 2016, “but he’s not getting a pass this time.”
BACKSTORY: In 2008, @NeeraTanden set up what she thought would be an easy interview for @HillaryClinton with @Faiz Shakir, then editor of @ThinkProgress.
But Faiz asked about the Iraq War.
Later, Neera punched him & asked “Who the f— do you think you are?”
THE POLITICS: @BernieSanders’ broadsides against @AmProg seem designed to rally his base by casting the group as an avatar of the corrupt Democratic establishment that deprived him the 2016 nomination & to signal that he won't abide a repeat of 2016.
Aleppo’s recognized 1350-year-old Umayyad Mosque that was
almost completely destroyed by war in Syria was one of the oldest
historical mosques that got destroyed.
That's a more polite way of speaking about an issue that has touched off rage. WHen I saw the Tweets on Monday night I wondered about it. And then yesterday I heard what? US student after US student talking about the tragedy. And it is true that there had been no US attention and mourning for the things lost in the Middle East. That's in part because Americans aren't taught about those historic buildings. Mostly, we learn about them when they're destroyed, if we ever learn about them. Those in the Arab world who feel that Notre Dame gets in one hour more attention and sympathy than the destruction of a major mosque does in six months are correct.
