Agreed, its important to note that these modern day, illiberals couch a lot of their phraseology in sophomoric nuance.
"XXXX statement is misinformation, because it lacks context"
"XXXX statement is misinformation, because it is still up for debate"
"XXXX statement is misinformation, because it is offensive to class YYYY"
"XXXX statement is misinformation, because it is unfair to person ZZZZ"
These are logical fallacies presented as civility. Applying them uniformly would me desperately wrong. Having double standards, and applying them based on partisan bias is nothing short of evil.
Glenn Greenwald said it best. If you are okay with these practices, you are a political authoritarian. No other information is needed to determine this about you.
It's amazing the way the political left has savegely gone against greenwald. We need more journalists like him not less. He has all the proper credentials (gay, liberal), he just happens to speak the truth so, apparently, fuck him. If we had more greenwalds the world would be a much better place
