Let's talk about Glenn Greenwald

[Ikonoklast]

72. My beef with Greenwald is that he is a Libertarian pretending to be a Leftist.

He is a First Amendment absolutist who thinks Citizen's United is the best think since sliced bread.

For me, that is a deal-breaker. He is on the wrong side of history and so is that ruling. I put it right up there with Dred Scott v. Sanford decision in its odiousness.

If I now have the same rights as, say, GE, and Money = Speech, who has more SpeechMoney to get their way, GE, or me?

Greenwald is dependent upon presenting a contrarian view to make his living. If there is no real controversy to opine about, he will create one one using half-truths and leave out facts that are inconvenient to his thesis.

He can be somewhat less than truthful in his writings, you cannot accept that what he wrote is actually a criticism based on facts in evidence, or purely an opinion piece base on conjecture.

He tends to conflate the two.

As far as I am concerrned, his personal sexual history is none of my business.
