He's publishing it because it is more of the same reactionary crap that he's getting rich off of. The difference between him and an actual journalist is that a journalist would wait until they were done with the investigation to write a story. He needs more eyeballs than that to justify his existence.

Documenting links between intelligence agencies and domestic propaganda is "reactionary"?

I guarantee, if he wasn't getting fluffed by Elon sycophants on Twitter he would back to Covid conspiracy theories or whatever else get the attention of rubes these days.

In the actual record, though, he's done a ton of actual journalism aimed at exposing corruption.

His Twitter lovers and haters mostly haven't, and are generally making judgments based on "social group" rather than the factual record.

Reactionary is a term commonly used by communists to described enemies of a revolution, interesting choice of language.

I understand that you feel he is getting rich but do you have knowledge of his personal finances to make this assertion? Or even some sort of a basis for this intuition you can point people towards? Please enlighten me with some napkin math.

Meanwhile, the slacks and emails he posted are certainly real.

> He needs more eyeballs than that to justify his existence.

As opposed to journalists who don't need eyeballs to justify their existence?

Ah, going with the attack on character of the commenter angle and the 'words they choose to use'. Wow, this discussion is definitely not HK worthy. And this is coming from me a low quality kinda shit poster.
