Thank You Jordan Chariton!

Jordan keeps it real.
TYT and Dore are wasting our time and their time.

Chariton's, and yours.
He held my attention for 3 minutes when I realized he was tearing asses off of his fellow progressive for tearing each other's asses off.
BUT, he does REAL journalism about important issues between slamming other journalists for also slamming other journalists.
I thought it was meant to be self-serving. It comes across as hypocritical bs.
I have ignored him thus far, and will continue to do so.
I hope he stops the bs, and does some straight reporting about the issues he deems important and rises a notch above what he so disdains in others.

@on the cusp
For Jordan to be a hypocrite he would have to have been spending his time taking cheap, personal shots at other people, rather doing real reporting and talking about real issues.
Jordan isn't guilty of doing any of that.
Calling out his fellow progressives for not doing their jobs doesn't make him a hypocrite.

Jordan's only crime is taking a sanctimonious, woe-is-me tone. Which obviously comes from a place of frustration.

@gjohnsit @gjohnsit We just interpret what we hear very differently, gjohnsit.
I do appreciate his reporting on issues as being a good thing.
I just think the 3 minutes of spew I watched on the video you posted turned me off and turned me away from him for the long run.
You are honest, and honestly thought this was some breakthrough.
Always post his clips when you think he really nails some issue.

they're all wasting our time while mining personal fame and fortune. Name one of these self proclaimed purveyors of truth who you trusted in the past 10-30 years who still has your attention, trust, and respect.

I can't. There are none. Rush created the industry to farm the rubes and it has only grown in sophistication and toxicity while spreading like herpes through the entire spectrum of mainline political thought in the US. I came to distrust every American news organization in the mid-'90S. It's been obvious to me that none of these folks have much useful to say except, maybe, gaining my occasional grudging and highly suspicious agreement. That I might agree with or gain some useful knowledge, always suspect, isn't enough for me to waste my time watching which only benefits the talking head. I don't.

It's at this point I hear my very good friend say, "But how do you get the news?" I usually reply, "Generally, I don't but how are you certain that you are?" The answer is always the same. They watch XXXXXX which is what they tend to agree with. My point exactly. They don't know.

one should always report only about what one sees and feels and smells and has experienced oneself in real life.

But other than that he wastes a lot of time to tell us what he gives a flying fuck about. And I don't give a flying second about whatever is flying out of his mouth.

May be it is just the wrong business plan to earn money and or respect with clicks. Wink

@mimi
I've been watching Chariton since before TYT canned him.
He always struck me as honest and earnest, and more than anything else, real.

Plus, when he rants about people he cares about losing focus on what's important, well, I see myself.
So maybe I made a mistake posting this. But it felt like the right thing to do.
And for those of you who know me, as most of you do, I may not always be right, but I always try to be honest with you.

@gjohnsit
I agree with Jordan. It's past time to move on past the meaningless bullshit and get back to reporting on things that truelly matter.

I'm great at multi-tasking. I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at the same time.

@gjohnsit
you do, and I should have shut up my mouth, because obviously out of my mouth came only flying shit- It's time for me to shut up for good. I am not an American, can't follow anymore what's happening over at your side of the pond. Just because I get frustrated of big words I shouldn't add my little words.

I apologize. and yes, I always thought you are a very honest man.

Let's have peace. (PS I fell asleep over my laptop, therefore the belated response)

1st on the BLM protests and his current work on the eviction crisis. Not many other journalists are covering it. And YouTube keeps censoring his work and videos while letting other news organizations keep them that they got from status quo or coup. Keep forgetting.

There were problems with running a campaign of Joy while committing a genocide? Who could have guessed?

Also this comes into play doesn't it?

Entitled heiress Sulome Anderson waged a McCarthyite lawfare campaign to destroy The Grayzone. We can now expose her and the powerful forces behind her deranged legal assault.

@ggersh

after Ana bellowed curse words and pretty much defamed him. Jimmy had the right to set the record straight on Ana's accusations as did the greyzone against the woman who said she was coming for them. Okay. They all did and let’s just move on and DROP it. Because it went beyond them and drew others in to take sides and enough.

I will say that Cenk and Ana were poop heads for starting the whole shit show and it seems that they are paying for it by their viewers walking. Good.I’m sure they got a big chunk of change when they sold themselves out to democrats, so maybe they should think about changing careers. Just my $.02.

@snoopydawg @snoopydawg

The last part of Aaron's tweet is where I have a real issue with all this. A lot of people who, were this say MSNBC and Maddow claiming Aaron was paid by Russia, would have rushed in to call this out have been silent or dismissive of TYT's smear. A lot of these people have personal and professional relationships with TYT/Chenk and it's hard to feel like that's not clouding their takes on this.
For instance, I watched Kyle Kulinski's piece on this and he seems to agree with 95% of what Jimmy and Aaron are saying. But he also kind of brushes it aside as "Chenk always has had some cringey takes" and "I thought the claims were so absurd, there was no need to comment on them." I'm sorry, that's a bullshit take.
Yes, there is some stupid drama wrapped up in all this. Yes, there are two blowhard factions neither of whom will let the bullshit drop. But I also feel there's some people who are using the drama as a convenient excuse to not have to deal with some hard facts about friends and business associates too. the left needs red baiting, Russiagating and lying about Siria as much as they need this drama.

to Jordan.
Jordan is great. I would have never found him if not for Jimmy having him on his show. Wouldn't have found Aaron or Anya either. Nor Max or Ben. Jimmy has given a broader platform to so many independent journalists.
I hated to see this skirmish go on so long. But I think Jimmy was right on. When Ana hinted at blackmail Jimmy needed to show how to defend yourself. I expect others will follow his lead.
