News Jake Tapper tweets that people protesting his colleague Dana Bash are antisemitic. Max Blumenthal absolutely eviscerates him in response

This particular exchange to one side, it depresses me that Max Blumenthal/GZ gets airtime in this sub. We've got to be more discerning than that, folks. We're not going to find liberation by allying with a guy who denies China's oppression of the Uyghurs, denies chemical attacks by Assad, and spreads misinformation in Russia's favor with regard to Ukraine (in addition to regularly appearing on RT).

Blumenthal is not our friend.

(Side note: honestly had no idea Dana Bash is Jewish.)

Why wouldn't they get airtime here?

Just because they might be wrong on other issues (the ones you mentioned)?

Journalists can be wrong, and they often are.

People have no problem citing mainstream corporate media, like the NYT, despite them cheer-leading the Iraq War and their biased coverage of I/P.

Blumenthal is not our friend.

Ugh, this is hive-mind mentality.

Let people think for themselves.
