The problem is that if you read Greenwald during the Bush years, you'd see a very different person. And not just for partisan reasons. Greenwald during the Iraq was absolutely was an expert on the stuff he wrote about, and took shots that were well-aimed and decisively argued.
Now he whines abstractly about vaguely libertarian ideas and complains about democrats and establishment journalists almost exclusively. He used to be a serious foreign policy wonk!
I follow him on twitter too. I don't see what's wrong with him. Some people complain he isn't "balanced" i.e. 9/10 of his criticisms are aimed at comparatively "good guys" i.e. liberals, while he rarely talks about conservatives. But I think that's perfectly fine, his niche is feeling a void left by hyper-partisan mainstream media- not everybody have to be expert on everything.
