Glenn Greenwald: Media Refuses to Retract their "Russian Disinformation" Lie Even as NYT & WP Authenticate the Emails

Glenn Greenwald's System Update, Released on 3/31/22

We examine one of the worst media disinformation campaigns in modern U.S. political history. In the weeks before the 2020 election, most corporate outlets spread the CIA lie that the materials on the Hunter Biden laptop - which raised questions about the activities of front-runner Joe Biden in Ukraine and China - were "Russian disinformation," meaning that the documents were fake and were forged by Russia. It was clear from the start that the archive was real and they were lying. But even now that the New York Times, the Washington Post and a Politico reporter have all authenticated the archive, these media outlets that spread that destructive lie refuse to retract it or acknowledge this proof.

Glenn Greenwald is a journalist, constitutional lawyer, and author of four New York Times best-selling books on politics and law. His most recent book, "No Place to Hide," is about the U.S. surveillance state and his experiences reporting on the Snowden documents around the world. Glenn co-founded The Intercept but parted ways with the company in 2020 due to the company censoring his work. His work can now be found at Substack and Rumble.
