Glenn Greenwald dubs MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace 'The Typhoid Mary of Disinformation'

  ‘Wallace has perfected the art of sociopathic lying,’ says Greenwald; Fox News

Greenwald’s piece hammered the MSNBC host for her significant role in spreading fake news throughout mainstream media. It began by ranking Wallace among "[t]he most blatant and shameless liars from the first term of the Bush/Cheney" who have "enjoyed great success in media and journalism." . . .

. . ." Greenwald exposed a bit of her political history, mentioning her pivot from Republican to liberal Democrat. "As Wallace — seeing the media's love affair with Obama — began shrewdly repositioning herself as a liberal, she claimed in 2010 that she did not even vote for McCain due to her misgivings about Palin."

"He recounted how, later she "joined NBC News. Quickly adapting to her new role as a Republican who vehemently despised Donald Trump* — easily the most lucrative Trump-era archetype" and then "MSNBC bestowed her with her own afternoon cable show in 2017" where she currently remains making unhinged remarks." . . .

*Like Joe Scarborough, maybe?


. . . Greenwald then explained how she’s been using these talents for disinformation in recent years. "Wallace has employed those personality traits in service of the most toxic and insidious of all tasks: a happy, relentless purveyor of official disinformation. When the CIA wants the American public contaminated with its lies and disinformation, Nicolle Wallace's lips begin moving."  
"The charges grew even more serious. "She has an unsurpassed ability to broadcast to audiences outright lies whispered to her by Deep State operatives — one after the next — without flinching or betraying the slightest sense of a conscience or moral compass," he wrote.
" 'She lies like only a sociopath can: exuding charm and warmth yet utterly vacant on the inside, except for a soul festering in rot," Greenwald added."   Ouch.
