    I still listen to Matt Taibbi’s old podcast (that he’s no longer on) but IIRC, they still carry a torch for Greenwald, maybe even had him on in recent years. I definitely heard him on some podcast that seemed overly friendly to him.

    What’s amusing to me is when Taibbi, Greenwald, etc., pretend to be somehow so very principled and above the fray and so on…it is rather amusing to watch.

      I would lump BJG in that group. It seems like these guys are too smart to not understand how clearly this comes across as either stupidity or grift.

          Briahna Joy Gray, imagine if Ben Shapiro body swapped with Candace Owens and tried to copy Jimmy Dore. She was Bernie’s press secretary in 2020 but he distanced himself from her and she is currently a Cornel West evangelist.

          Big Juice Glenn… His early stuff was great. He would break down the different kinds of juices and drinks from all around the world. Talk about the taste, where they originated from (you’d be surprised at the history of some of these drinks), who they are marketed to, and so on. Sound dull but can be quite fascinating.

          But lately BJG has started going down the crazy rabbit hole. His last few podcasts have been talking about how the chemicals in the modern day drinks and juices can effect your thinking and how some people have the technology (Bill Gates and company) to then manipulate your thought patterns because of these “chemicals”. I don’t know what happened to him. Maybe he got hit on the head or something? But it’s not the same any more. Kinda sad.
