4. Lots of clear thinking mixed with heavy hypocrisy

whenever the topic discussed veers toward Democratic Party politics, when Greenwald's journalistic standards suddenly double and our minds stop tracking together. His rationalizations are more than a little opportunistic when it comes to material that could harm the Democrats.

I decided to read the article, though, because Isaac Chotiner's the author, and as usual his are worth reading. As for Greenwald and the negative issues in this article that might appeal to some in sympathy with his views on Democrats:

Regarding the question that Assange's timing of the DNC release was to do maximum damage to the Democrats,

"I don’t know of any evidence that suggests WikiLeaks did that here,"

Greenwald totally ignores Assange's many evidences of extreme, even irrational, malice toward the Democrats and very much against Hillary specifically.

You can cross a line at some point if you are really just trying to manipulate perception or interfere with the natural progression of events, but I am not going to criticize WikiLeaks at all because they waited until before the convention to release information at a time when people were most interested in what the Democratic Party had been doing. I think there is a lot of hypocrisy going on in criticizing WikiLeaks for that.

Uhuh.

Greenwald goes on to criticize the press for now being "100%" negative about Trump, totally ignoring the fact that 90% of the negative coverage is simply finally reporting Trump and his own statements for what they are, without pretending he's a normal candidate. And how could it be otherwise when Trump gives them new, extremely newsworthy material virtually every day, often multiple shocking statements or behaviors in a day? Where's his statement on the press's creation of Trump-the-nominee and their journalistic behavior over that period?

Of course Greenwald's not a Trump supporter, but it is notable that the egregious behavior he does not criticize promoted the leading presidential opponent against the Democrats and that this, finally, more honest coverage of Trump greatly benefits the Democrats.

I haven't paid enough attention to Greenwald to determine, but I suspect he may be the kind of left-winger who's antagonistic to Democrats/liberals, like Assange himself, but less extreme, at least in expression. It's one of the defining characteristics of many on the far left, and we've heard from enough of those in the primary to be very familiar with that pattern of hostile thinking.
