      Interesting Glenn Greenwald piece from 2005 saying that protests against George W. Bush in Brazil coming only from "a small, fervent band of left-wing fanatics with crazed enthusiasm for the worn-out, socialist/collectivist policies"pic.twitter.com/p2cnXqWB05

      Also in 2005, Greenwald is very, very angry at Seymour Hersh (or, as Greenwald calls him Seymour Hersch) for criticizing Bush and claiming Bush was ignoring outside voices.pic.twitter.com/1bgZz3ARWb

          Give him break. Figuring out encryptions was annoying.

          Cool, because my memory of that period is all about how the big problem was the Washington Establishment being too contentious with the Bush administration.

          Glenn was always right wing, and is now a far right apologist/reactionary. People mistook his anti-government stance during Obama as libertarianism. Nope. He’s anti government if that government is left wing and democratic.

          The point of the piece was not about Bush nor Hersh (particularly), but about the MSM stamping their petty shoes at Bush not bending to their will. This is clearly outlined in the opening & last para, which you neglected to include:pic.twitter.com/fYJwzfj6ro
