FREE JULIAN ASSANGE NOW....

The NYT performs loyal stenography -- masquerading as journalism -- to protect AOC

Glenn Greenwald

[music] I want to talk to you about a genuinely
0:10
unbelievable article in the New York Times about Alexandria Casiocortez. And when I say genuinely unbelievable, I
0:16
mean even for somebody like myself who has expressed disgust and contempt for
0:21
the practice of corporate media for more than two decades. It's kind of a you have to read it to believe it uh
0:27
article, which is why I think it's worth covering. Before I do that, just quickly uh for those of you who don't know, and you probably I think most of you do, uh
0:34
we recently moved from Rumble back to Substack uh last Monday. There you can
0:40
see it on the screen, our uh Substack page at Glen Greenwald. We already have
0:45
a lot of articles, a lot of different kinds of content. I'm uh it's really freeing not to have to do a nightly show every single night live at the same
0:51
exact time. doing a ton more writing, which is what I've always loved doing and it's my passion. So, if you want to
0:57
check it out, you can do so there. All right. As most of you know if you watch this channel because we did a video
1:04
report on it two days ago. Alexandria Casiocortez spent two weeks telling the national
1:10
really the international media that she was about to have her big coming out party as a foreign policy expert as
1:16
someone who has gravitas on international affairs who's ready to offer a competing vision of what
1:22
American foreign policy should look like that draws a sharp contrast with the one established by Donald Trump and JD Vance
1:28
and Marco Rubio. was her debut on the international stage to show that she is
1:34
not just somebody who can call people racist and sexist and just trying to spew cliches, but she's actually a very
1:41
deep, informed, thoughtful, philosophical foreign policy thinker.
1:47
And there were all these articles dutifully written in every major newspaper in the United States and Europe about how she's about to make her
1:53
big appearance, so highly anticipated. and she went to Munich and really I mean
1:59
she just there's no other way to put it. She really just fell flat on her face. We covered one probably the most
2:06
egregious embarrassment where she went to Munich and was asked the simplest question which is should the United
2:12
States commit military troops in the event China attacks Taiwan? And she stumbled and stuttered for close to 30
2:19
seconds and then muttered some totally non-responsive stuff.
2:24
And there were a lot of other things like that that just proved that she hasn't completed her tutoring. She's not
2:30
able to give book reports even though she studied really hard. You know, she
2:36
is studious. Uh but it doesn't always translate into good performance. So it's
2:42
created a lot of attention, a lot of controversy, a lot of embarrassment that
2:47
has really utterly overshadowed everything else that she wanted to do on this trip. and she knows that she's
2:53
probably the most connected politician on a national level to social media. She's that's one thing where she has
3:00
demonstrated skill and adeptness. She's very very good at being an influencer at being a social media uh presence. No
3:08
doubt about that. And so she understands how viralized these videos have been,
3:13
how kind of embarrassing these these criticisms have been. And she had a
3:18
couple of options. One is she could have just produced a video herself and spoke about her flubs and mistakes. She could
3:25
have put out statements on her own social media platforms which are very sizable and reached a lot of people had
3:32
a lot of people hurt. No, that's not what she chose to do. Instead, what she did is totally unsolicited.
3:38
She picked up the phone and called her favorite New York Times reporter, just handpicked the one she wanted. He was on
3:45
this trip in Germany covering her in a very very very positive way. She obviously very comfortable with him. She
3:50
called him up and she's like, "Hey, I I'd like to
3:56
tell you some things that I want you to publish in the New York Times about my trip. I want to respond to these criticisms." So, get a pen and you're
4:03
going to write down what I say and then you're going to publish it in the New York Times. It wasn't like they were
4:08
chasing her for an interview that they got some scored some exclus. She picked them. She picked up the phone and called
4:14
him and said, "Hey, I'd want you to I have some things to say. You're gonna put it in the New York Times." He's like, "Okay, tell me. I got my pen. I'm
4:20
ready to write down like every everything." Okay. Yeah. What else? Okay. Is that Yeah. She's like, "Yeah."
4:27
And it ended up exactly like that in the paper. It's I mean, it's it's not even a glorified press release of AOCC's. It's
4:34
just a press release that ended up in the New York Times. And it illustrates a lot about how modern corporate
4:40
journalism works. What really is my biggest critique, it's not so much that they're like leftwing or right-wing.
4:46
They're just utterly captive to political power and to the people who can do them biggest favors. This is a
4:51
young journalist from San Francisco. This is like a big opportunity for him.
4:58
He knows that a relationship with AOC can serve him well in his career. And so he was unbelievably subservient. I I I'm
5:05
amazed that it made it past its editors with with the editors without at least some attempt to disguise it better as as
5:12
journalism. They barely masqueraded it as anything other than stenography.
5:18
And the amazing thing is he's so unself-aware that he basically way too candidly admitted what happened.
5:25
The the article in the New York Times, it's not an opinion article by label, it's a news article. It doesn't say that
5:31
AOC called the New York Times. It says in an interview with the New York Times, which makes it sound like it's every
5:36
type of interview that happens where a journalist or a media outlet chases down a major figure and says, "Hey, I really
5:42
want to interview you." And then they say, "No, yes, maybe later. Here are the condition." No, she called them. She's
5:47
like, "New York Times, I'm going to say some things here. I'm going to publish it." And the amazing thing is is that he
5:55
basically came out and said it in this way that was so candid that I don't think he realized
6:02
what he was doing. His name is Kellen Browning. Uh he's, you know, like a pretty young
6:08
guy. There you see his uh New York Times bio page. Seems to be in his 20s. He says, "I'm a political reporter for the
6:14
New York Times based in San Francisco." And I don't know, I just don't think he
6:20
really has an understanding of what the meaning of these words were that he posted. But here is his here are his
6:25
tweets where he's promoting this story. He said, quote, AOC came to Munich to warn about the far right coverage
6:30
focused on 2028 and verbal missteps. She gave me a call. Quote, everyone's got
6:36
this story wrong that this is about me running for president. She said global democracies are on fire the world over.
6:43
So there you say he admits she gave me a call. She like, you know, I was just like hanging out at night on my couch
6:49
kind of sitting around and AOC called me and she's like, "Hey, I got some things
6:54
to say and I want them in the New York Times." And he's like, "Oh, amazing. I'm not doing anything. Go ahead. I got my
7:01
pen, everything." So, also note here, I also highlighted the part where he said, "She said," and he just quotes her.
7:09
Because that's basically all he does, which is what a press release does. a politician, their office puts out a press release,
7:15
you know, Chuck Schumer denounces this bill or Ted Cruz vows to do this and it's just quote after quote from that
7:21
politician that they want people to read and hear and that shapes the perception
7:26
that they want to create for themselves. That's generally not what newspapers do, though.
