The FBI spied on the civil rights movement, tried to get MLK to kill himself, and still spies on radicals. The CIA has instigated all sorts of coups & assassinations. Editors tell Glenn Greenwald to strengthen his argument. All really the same thing.https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1328742671909859328 …

*sigh* Was he always this bad? Do I need to have a sit-down with 2010-era me about who to defend and who not do?

Opinions differ but, yes, IMO he was always this bad. The wikileaks thing let him do a lot of pieces that many reasonable people could nod along with and led to him being seen a certain, relatively flattering way, but he was always terrible and toxic.

the CIA has been so inefficient for the last couple decades because all they've been training are newspaper editors.

He is still throwing this tantrum? JFC, how hard is it to understand that other people aren’t inside your brain so sometimes you don’t articulate yourself as well as you think or you need more evidence to back up a claim and that’s why another person reviewing your words is good?

Is Greenwald a libertarian now? Does he think market forces will protect the US from authoritarianism?
