At lease he consistent, he bought Bush's dumb WMDs in Iraq theory and he's buying Putin's even stupider bioweapons in Ukraine theory.

Glenn’s had a busy day on social media. So far he’s: defended Tucker Carlson as a voice of reason on Ukraine, danced on the grave of Madeline Albright, and then topped it off by retweeting a comic from infamous neo-Nazi comic designer Stonetoss.

I fear you’re right. What’s galling is that he’ll be repeating reactionary propaganda, and blatant falsehoods, all of it with the angrily self-righteous tone he’s become infamous for.

Carlson has continuously been right on Ukraine, Albright is a HP war criminal and Stonetoss (while being too extreme sometimes) is a legitimately funny cartoonist.
I don't see the problem and I don't see how this conflicts with any of the journalistic standards or politics he had 10 years ago.

Again, Greenwald's behavior makes perfect sense when you accept that his brand of leftism is anti-America before anything else. He's not opposed to foreign wars because he's opposed to invading countries under false pretenses and killing civilians, he's just opposed to America doing it. He's a joke and an ideologue and should not be taken seriously. He doesn't have a single principle that he won't throw down the toilet if it presents him with an opportunity to be an anti-American contrarian, and he's always been this way. The only reason he seems different is because he used to, purely by coincidence, fall into a position that somewhat overlapped with the humane and rational one.

Believing both:

(1) America should not engage in imperialism
(2) It’s not America’s problem if other countries engage in imperialism

is not a contradiction. It’s called being an isolationist.

When he got compared to Dave Rubin, he furiously engaged in wokescolding by alleging he was being stereotyped as a gay Jew. Following him and Tracey used to be funny, but now they’re just getting a bit sad.

Greenwald is and always has been a wokescold. If anyone ever dared to criticize suicide bombing or the oppression of women in the Islamic world then he'd immediately show up to tell them about how they were Islamophobic because of it. He was always accusing people of supporting genocide too if they disagreed with him, even if it had nothing to do with their conversation. He was worse than any DEI czar when it came to smearing people as bigots for disagreeing with him, so it's funny to see him get co-opted by the right as whatever it is they think he is now.

There's a difference between being apathetic to what happens outside your borders and actively making excuses for another imperialist regime.

If Greenwald was just saying "lol not our problem", that would be disgusting but consistent, but that's not what he's doing.

Carlson has continuously been right on Ukraine

Tucker Carlson Admits He Was Wrong On Russia-Ukraine In Most Petulant Way
Quote
The Fox News personality ― who in the past has confessed to lying on his show ― admitted his commentary on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine had been misguided.

But instead of taking full responsibility for his rhetoric parroting Kremlin talking points and defending Russian President Vladimir Putin, Carlson instead suggested Russia’s aggression had been a surprise (despite Western powers warning of it for months) and then snidely tried to pin the blame on President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

“We’ve been taken by surprise by the whole thing. We’re not the only ones who were, but we’re willing to admit it. The only thing more embarrassing than being wrong in your estimates is pretending that you weren’t,” blustered Carlson, who has taken a different tone since the invasion and has whined about being falsely accused of rooting for Russia.

*ucker Carlson is not simply wrong, he's a traitor.

There's been quite a bit about Hunter Biden's laptop too, which is a right-wing thing plain and simple without even the vestigial alt-left cred of Greenwald's other current pet subjects.

Tracey's attempts to larp as a war journalist are hillarious though, from acting like a bunch of polish trucks leaving a NATO base is a secret the press is keeping from you to acting like being politely escorted out of a military base is the worst thing that's ever happened to him.

Also all the NY Times and other media outlets are doing is reporting that the FBI and Congressional Ethics Committee are investigating him...which is fact. Does Glenn think such investigations shouldn't be public knowledge? I thought this guy was for transparency?

Glenn Greenwald is one of the biggest frauds in media. The only worthwhile information he ever contributed was the Snowden stuff, and even that was purely because Snowden happened to like his politics and thus reached out to him.

Disgusting.



Just to make it clear the level of extreme bad faith "journalism" Mr. Greenwald is engaging in here:

UN says Ukraine's civilian deaths are being underestimated and the true number may never be known (April 02, 2022)
Quote
The United Nations warns that the civilian casualty statistics it publishes daily don't capture the full impact of the war in Ukraine — while military experts say the number of Ukrainian civilians killed by Russian forces likely won't be known until years after the conflict ends.

Experts say the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) is providing the most accurate daily statistics on Ukraine's civilian casualties. But the OHCHR itself says it may be greatly underestimating the real casualty rate.

"OHCHR believes that the actual figures are considerably higher, as the receipt of information from some locations where intense hostilities have been going on has been delayed and many reports are still pending corroboration," it said.

Again, this is not Greenwald's "final form" nor is it his first time trying to downplay atrocities committed against civilians. He's always been like this. I've mentioned it before in this thread many times, but it's worth repeated, a few years ago he was going through his Islamic terrorism apologia phase, and he was non-stop insinuating that suicide bombings or honor killings or acid attacks against feminists in the Middle East were actually the victims' fault because the only reason ISIS is doing what it is doing is because of how mean the west was, yada yada yada. There's no civilian death that Greenwald won't excuse if it's in line with whatever his morally bankrupt worldview sees as acceptable.

I don't get the complaint here. Black identity extremism was behind the recent subway shooter, and at least a couple attacks against Jewish people in the NY/NJ area in the last few years. Why do you guys want to pretend like it doesn't exist?
