a lot of glenn's success came from, basically, learning to shut the gently caress up about most of the things that show what his actual bad opinions are. which is a good strategy when you have bad opinions about some things and good ones about others and it worked really well for him for more than a decade

while he was focusing almost exclusively on the war on terror, mass surveillance, etc, people who liked his work could easily forget about the kind of things he was blogging about in 2004 (if they ever knew he thought those things at all, which i think 99% of people didn't).

but since the period that roughly started with his complete denialism about all russian interference in the 2016 election (which triggered neverending arguments between him and effectively everyone else not on the right and made him a very attractive guest on fox news as a 'liberal' journalist that didn't believe all that fake bullshit the democrat party is impeaching trump for) it's all been downhill
