154. Anatomy of a Glenn Greenwald Smear Job (updated)

Mon Jul 29, 2013, 01:33 AM

Jul 2013

I was searching Google one day and came across an article in The Nation titled “A Response to Glenn Greenwald“, written by Mark Ames and Yasha Levine. Of course, I had to click on it. In recent years, Greenwald has become an example of how — with the growth of the internet — people have been given platforms who don’t deserve it and don’t have enough integrity to wield such power. Glenn Greenwald has shown time and time again that he is vicious in his attacks on people and uses every sleazy rhetorical technique known to humans to push his narrative. He is completely anti-Obama, anti-government and anti-Democratic Party. He used to be anti-Republican Party during the Bush years and that is when he established some false credibility with the left.

I did a study of his posts on Salon.com for a period of just over a month. What I found was — out of 43 posts, 38 of them were anti-Obama and the remaining 5 were about something non political. There were zero posts that attacked Republicans. ZERO! I guess the GOP hasn’t done anything recently that has upset Glenn.

'Frequently Told Lies' about Glenn Greenwald, by Glenn Greenwald. [View all] sabrina 1 Jul 2013 OP

"I supported the Iraq War and/or George Bush " ProSense Jul 2013 #1

Thanks for an example of one of the six lies. You are free to read the correction made by sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #3

Why didn't all those Democrats, Kerry, Clinton et al, know, and why have they never sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #18

Greenwald is not a member of Congress. I knew it was bullshit. ProSense Jul 2013 #21

And yet you supported for Sec of Defense a Republican who voted for the Iraq War and for Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #31

Again, ProSense Jul 2013 #38

Again, it is unfair and hypocritical on a very basic level to criticize one person for doing that Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #44

Again, Greenwald was gullible is not an excuse. He supported the Iraq war. n/t ProSense Jul 2013 #45

And so did Hagel, who you felt was a great choice for Defense Sec. Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #49

Again, ProSense Jul 2013 #50

Hypocritical double standard blather. There is no excuse for it. None. Bluenorthwest Jul 2013 #54

More whining from an anonymous blogger. Seems to be jealous of Greenwalds work but sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #161

Doesn't everything and the Sun revolve around Greenwad? Whisp Jul 2013 #166

Yes, for some people the world does seem to revolve around Greenwald. sabrina 1 Jul 2013 #171

You are focusing on 'writing skills' Whisp Jul 2013 #174

GG's problem is that all six are verifiably true in so far as they're things based on his own words. Chan790 Jul 2013 #156
