He gained prominence being one of the three (?) journalists who were directly given the Snowden documents. But then he became an apologist for Russia and Wikileaks.

Glenn Greenwald's worldview proceeds wholly from the one single unshakeable axiom that The United States And Its Intelligence Agencies Are Evil. Which isn't wrong, per se, but he is very black-and-white about it, views other evils as less important than that one, and maybe even distractions from it, and does not believe that the US IC is capable of telling the truth except to serve evil ends. So his gut instinct when the IC unanimously announced that Russia had meddled in the election was that they were either a) lying or b) telling the truth but believing them and acting accordingly would only help Them. Everything ever since has been doubling down, endlessly.

Okay, figured that was the case cause I never heard of this place until today.

I gotta say, I'm quite surprised that Breitbart(!!!) thought she was racist enough to let go. And she was, to be sure, but it's not like the rest of their contributors are any more...um, politically correct.

Nah, Greenwald is too transparent for anything else.

Not transparent in like an open and honest way. But in a zealot that is incapable of guile way.

Hes a broken clock with one hand stopped at "The US MIC/IC is evil" and the other at "The US MIC/IC is Hypercompetent".

He fundamentally can't realize that the IC hosed up and that maybe there are actors in the world with nastier poo poo in mind that catching a glimpse of your dick pics.

And supposedly he got wasted and fell asleep in a pile of his own poo poo on the floor in college or something.

I think its entirely possible that Carter Page REALLY wants to do something illegal and covert but he's so stupid no one ever let him in on something. He might have a real argument for mental incompetence.
