Washington Post Disgracefully Promotes a McCarthyite Blacklist From a New, Hidden, and Very Shady Group


From Glenn Greenwald and Ben Norton at The Intercept:

[T]he individuals behind this newly created group are publicly branding journalists and news outlets as tools of Russian propaganda — evencalling on the FBI to investigate them for espionage — while cowardly hiding their own identities. The group promoted by the Post thus embodies the toxic essence of Joseph McCarthy, but without the courage to attach individual names to the blacklist. Echoing the Wisconsin senator, the group refers to its lengthy collection of sites spouting Russian propaganda as “The List.”
