    Why the hell do people continue to make @ggreenwald into the bogeyman of the Russian investigation? This portrayal is not accurate as of this date. And if he's the ONLY one (he's not but the others are more complex), then it's NOT a lefty thing. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/09/20/us/politics/russia-interference-election-trump-clinton.html …pic.twitter.com/Ld5h5HWJvC

        There are actually far more interesting lefty bogeymen (with the advantage that they're actually left!), ones who think they've studied the details, but explaining why they're skeptical would require more nuance.

        I don't plan to "die" on it. I plan to point out how stupid it is for people to use Glenn as a foil rather than looking at the reasons actual lefties react against this stuff.

        Glen has shady associations with Assange and denies Russia attempted to compromise the 2016 election. He recently cleansed his Twitter of a lot of this. Which he has blasted others for doing. His reputation isn't close to what it once was and you are seeing that play out.

        Let's pretend for a moment that's true. Then the entire discussion of him in the NYT piece is factually wrong.

        You didn't say The Intercept "burned" her. You said I, personally, did. I don't run or edit the Intercept. I had no involvement in the story. TI acknowledged its errors. Blaming them on me personally proves you don't give a shit about Reality Winner. Also:https://twitter.com/bjwinnerdavis/status/1021931725134409731 …

        I have to disagree. I am very grateful for all that the intercept has done to get my daughter's story Out there. MSM burned her by dropping and ignoring her. #RealityWinner pic.twitter.com/2ZbSkVa263

        Why are you listed at https://theintercept.com/about/  as the "Co-founding Editor and Columnist"?

        Because I co-founded the Intercept in 2013, and currently write and report there. The editor-in-chief is Betsy Reed, and I can't help but conclude that the reason people refuse to recognize that she really runs the Intercept as EDITOR-IN-CHIEF is because she's a woman.

        I'm not actually defending Glenn. I'm saying the treatment of him as the one "lefty" opposed to the RU investigation is false and stupid.

        If the solution is to just ignore him and treat him the same way we treat everyone who goes on Tucker Carlson’s White Power Hour, I’m all for it! I’m glad you think his remarks comparing Paul Manafort to victims of racial bias by the police are not worth defending...

        The problem with Greenwald is that's he's got nothing interesting to say. His adopted role of Twitter anklebiter is hardly worth $500,000 a year. He's a bore and produces little of note.

        He's skeptic to the extreme, which is ok, but it's boring because all the anti-imperialists say the same things.
