Independent journalist <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/glenn-greenwald/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Glenn Greenwald</a> said Sunday that there was a very simple reason that members of his chosen profession seemed unwilling to question the narrative surrounding the alleged attack on Paul Pelosi — namely the possibility that asking questions could put their careers at risk.
Greenwald laid out his theory in a Twitter thread, saying that it didn&#8217;t even matter whether or not the prevailing narrative — that the person who was arrested at House Speaker <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/nancy-pelosi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s</a> (D-CA) was a <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/part-of-the-insurrection-toxicity-msnbc-anchor-tries-to-tie-paul-pelosi-attack-to-january-6th/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">far-right conspiracy theorist</a> and election denier — was true. The point, he said, was that it couldn&#8217;t be questioned.
&#8220;It&#8217;s very possible that the instantly formed media narrative — Paul Pelosi&#8217;s attacker was a MAGA fanatic who broke in to murder Nancy — will be proven true. But right now there are so many glaring doubts and holes in that story that it just takes common sense to question this,&#8221; Greenwald began.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
It&#39;s genuinely alarming how conditioned so much of the US population is to equate skepticism toward the pronouncements of media corporations with mental illness:
&quot;If you don&#39;t instantly accept what Wolf Blitzer and Andrea Mitchell claim, then you&#39;re a crazy conspiracy theorist.&quot;
&mdash; Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) <a href="https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1586712005192388611?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 30, 2022</a></blockquote>
&#8220;It&#8217;s genuinely alarming how conditioned so much of the U.S. population is to equate skepticism toward the pronouncements of media corporations with mental illness: &#8216;If you don&#8217;t instantly accept what Wolf Blitzer and Andrea Mitchell claim, then you&#8217;re a crazy conspiracy theorist.'&#8221;
Greenwald went on to explain that even journalists who had questions about the prevailing narrative — on any topic — often felt as though they couldn&#8217;t say anything without risking their jobs or even their entire careers.
&#8220;It&#8217;s so crucial to understand the dynamic dominating journalism. Few journalists have career security,&#8221; Greenwald continued. &#8220;Imagine you&#8217;re a young journalist at a big media corporation. You know if you ask these questions, Twitter will explode and it can ruin your career.&#8221;
He then shared a tweet from Steve Krakauer that included just a few of the questions he thought media ought to be asking.
<ul>
<li>&#8220;Why wasn&#8217;t there signs of forced entry at Pelosi home?&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Who was 3rd person who opened door for police?&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Why was Pelosi holding hammer and attack only happened after police arrived?&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Where is bodycam/security footage?&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Why isn&#8217;t the press asking these questions?&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
This happened often during Russiagate: I got texts/DMs/emails from younger journalists inside big media corporations thanking me for being skeptical. They couldn&#39;t. One Twitter mob against them for questioning Dem narrative (see <a href="https://twitter.com/DashaBurns?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DashaBurns</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/BoKnowsNews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BoKnowsNews</a>) can be career-ending.
&mdash; Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) <a href="https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1586718554593923072?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 30, 2022</a></blockquote>
&#8220;This happened during Russiagate,&#8221; Greenwald added, saying that he had gotten a number of messages from journalists who worked for larger media corporations — and they had expressed their thanks that he was willing to question the narrative because they couldn&#8217;t do it.
&#8220;One Twitter mob against them for questioning Dem narrative (see @DashaBurns or @BoKnowNews) can be career-ending,&#8221; he said.
Greenwald said that he believed many journalists saw the &#8220;glaring questions and evidentiary holes&#8221; in the story that had been pushed so far regarding Pelosi, but especially in the last days before the midterm election, the narrative was even more important than usual. &#8220;Why stick their heads up, provoke a liberal Twitter mob, and be branded?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;That&#8217;s the climate.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Police investigating the Paul Pelosi attack continue to state they *do not know the motive.* 
Yet liberal &quot;thought leaders&quot; like <a href="https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@HillaryClinton</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/jimmykimmel?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@jimmykimmel</a> have decreed that not only is the motive known to them, but only insane or malicious people would question them. <a href="https://t.co/g2mmxLG1KF">pic.twitter.com/g2mmxLG1KF</a>
&mdash; Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) <a href="https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1586752747201859586?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 30, 2022</a></blockquote>

Greenwald went on to say that he wasn&#8217;t ready to ascribe any motives because he didn&#8217;t feel that he&#8217;d seen enough evidence to do so, adding, &#8220;The preferred narrative may end up right but most of it is based on massaged-by-CNN anonymous claims.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
I&#39;d like to know:
* How someone broke into the home of one of the richest and most powerful families without setting off an alarm.
* How Paul Pelosi could call 9/11 in the middle of this.
* Who is the &quot;unknown&quot; person who opened the door for the police?
* Where is the video? <a href="https://t.co/eaQCjiqycP">pic.twitter.com/eaQCjiqycP</a>

He then listed the questions he&#8217;d like to see answered before claiming he understood exactly what went down in the Pelosi&#8217;s home:
<ul>
<li>&#8220;How someone broke into the home of one of the richest and most powerful families without setting off an alarm?&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;How Paul Pelosi could call 9/11 in the middle of this?&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Who is the &#8216;unknown&#8217; person who opened the door for the police?&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Where is the video?&#8221;</li>
</ul>
Police have since clarified that there was not a third person in the home, an early claim that seems to be rooted in the police report stating that police saw Pelosi and DePape fighting over a hammer after the door was answered by a &#8220;unknown person.&#8221;
