Any Glenn Greenwald fans left here?

Years ago this was a real fan base. I once found him provocative and smart. Just saw a post re: Glenn's tweet about leaks being bad and wondered who here still supports him?

I still find him informative and part of "the good fight". I support him.

He has not worn so well with me. He has become ridiculous. He is not helping our side now.

Maybe I was an idiot for taking so long to see he's not really a liberal at all. He's the flip side of Bannon.

Saw him in Cambridge with Noam Chomsky.

Not interested in what he has to say any longer.
