    Greenwald is like that Nobel Prize recipient who went looney and started the whole "vitamins cure everything from Lupus to Leukemia" fad nonsense.

    Smelled his own farts for so long he lost it.

    It's about time that American media outlets start to clean the ship of rats.

    Hopefully more follow suit and hopefully social media cracks down hard on conspiracies and alter their algorithms to exclude them. I hope to assume that even Zuckerberg doesn't want multiple homicides on his conscience.

    And neither does Greenwald in his article says anything close to "those emails absolutely positively confirms Biden's corruption".

    It's hedging a lot of things, and it's strange that his editors considered it to be unacceptable.

    This post is a whole lot of nothing....

    So what are you arguing? Most of the respectable press that looked into it said it's not worth it. So why do you think they still need to report on it? Why don't you get ahold of RT and have them investigate it?

    Why is explained in Greenwald's article in question.

    Please put the turnip earner on ignore or at least stop responding to him. Yes his takes are shit and he rarely seems to know what the fuck hes talking about. But the more you engage the more power you give him to spread disinformation and muddy the waters.

    I find it sad that the company would ignore his contracts to block him. I fine it funny that people are saying so many interesting things about him and his reporting when he was so praised for his reporting when he was doing the Snowden info against the government and intelligence services.

    I guess its true. People loved him when he was doing his reporting exposing something they wanted to hear. Let him report on something they don't want to hear? He is crackpot, crazy, whatever.

    It's almost like,hmm, he can't do his job unless he does it only the way you want. He is only allowed to report on what your side allows him to. You know, that sounds a lot like how an authoritarian would run things. You know, like a dictator.

    It's almost like they judge his work for the content of its character, rather than blindly accepting it as true based on the color of his metaphorical skin. To paraphrase a relevant quote.

    You seem to have an issue with taking a work on its merit, or lack thereof, and that people like Greenwald should have their words taken on blind faith and without a trace of critical analysis.

    That you try and make a comparison to authoritarianism is completely fucking asinine, and demonstrates that you're not here to contribute honest opinions.

    UPdate!!

    Since Glenn has been liberated from the "censorship" of editors.
    His latest pro-Trump blog post appears to be longer than Master of the Senate ... Greenwald says Trump was a better president than Obama.

    No Matter the Liberal Metric Chosen, the Bush/Cheney Administration Was Far Worse Than Trump.

    substack basically the wordpress for the intellectual dark web and Nazi adjacent types.

    Also, the go to spot for plagiarizing material to pwn libs on gaming forums.

    I can't help but to note, liberal metric? So was it better or worse in a conservative one, that's the real question I would want answered.

    Also just off the top of my head, I think Trump has seen a higher percentage of farms going bankrupt, a higher rate of job loss to overseas, he droned more than Obama and Bush combined most likely (albeit Bush couldn't exactly drone a whole lot), like there is a lot of metrics (liberal or not), that I am not entirely sure that Trump is actually "better" on then Bush.

    But yeah, Bush's era was fucking rife with bullshit, truly good that a strong independent journalist finally was liberated and could tell this hard truth.

    Is this why we are discussing McCain and Bush in the election thread? Figures...

    He is really going down the rabbit hole isn't he? At best Trump is just as bad as Bush jr, I mean, they hired the same type of people and in some cases the same people. Example Steven miller for has worked for republicans at least a decade or so, he was to young to work for Bush but pretty sure the same type of people where also working in the Bush admin.

    Second, the guy is just repeating Trump talking points "Obama put children in cages too!!!!"" ignoring major context and the fact that the Trump admin was proud of there zero tolerance policy.
