Hi, I’m new to politics and looking for people to follow or avoid. Can you please elaborate on a view that Greenwald espouses which is repugnant or a deceptive mischaracterization he engages in? I would also be very appreciative if you could give me any trusted sources of news? All I know is MSNBC and Fox right now.
Greenwald was the reporter who helped Edward Snowden. Whether you think that makes Greenwald a hero or just a supremely lucky reporter is up to you. Since then, he’s been slowly but steadily treading the “why I left the Left” grift track. You can occasionally find him talking to right wing news outlets like Fox News on all the reasons why the Left is bad, but conveniently never critiquing the right.
In 2022, Greenwald did a softball interview with Alex Jones as a PR stunt for Jones’ documentary, “Alex’s War”. That’s the even I referenced specifically.
It’s worth noting that Greenwald is a gay man, who has a husband, and they have two children together. This makes him cozying up to fascists all the more disgusting because those people abhor people like him and his family.
My opinion is that Greenwald is a spineless coward who will do anything for money.
Thanks for the reply! So you’re not a fan more for who he’s willing to talk to or “platform” as I’m hearing? Or is cozying mean advocating for fascist policies too?
