and just to be clear in case people missed it, here's an apt story

He also dabbled in vaccine skepticism and apologetics for Jan 6th. It was good while it lasted.

It’s a long article that complains he wasn’t mean enough to Jones in person and has been on the old Carlson show? Anything better?

Yeah sure, there's a knowledge fight episode on it.

Greenwald did promotional appearances with Jones

Thanks. I wasn't paying attention to him five years ago, so will look at those. But I did watch a recent talk between him and Carlson and it was excellent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoBTkpus8Iw

When someone says "GG's crazy," I substitute "I'm an angry lefty" who's upset he's not on my team any more. I don't think he was ever on anyone's side, one of the things I like about him.

no. He used to do right-to-reply, no longer does.

He used to do two-source rule, no longer does.

He used to provide contextual clarity, no longer does.

He used to disclose conflict of interests, no longer does.

He used to provide citations and audit trails for his work, no longer does.

Every single rule from the society of professional journalists he's thrown out the window. Here he is pushing conspiracy drivel with a bunch of emdashes: https://substack.com/home/post/p-222186026

I see nothing with any of these pieces linked above, to make me think they are 1) definitely wrong or 2) the author has gone "crazy."

We may quibble over quality, or standards, but you seem to be a bit too invested. No one is right all the time, and there is opinion in his piece. Take with a grain of salt.

Not to mention in a country as big as Brazil, anything could and probably did happen.

Oh you mean lazy. He went lazy, fair enough.

And when I hear "GG's crazy"

Ok, had a chance to look at those. I'll tell you why they aren't very convincing. They are a third-party telling you what to think. The second article is 90% about RFK. Again GG wasn't critical enough of him for the author.

The podcast (so far, not heard the whole thing) is angry someone tried to make a non-judgemental documentary and/or interview.

Also, you mention Rumble without mentioning why he went elsewhere—censorship during Biden administration. These examples suggest a common lefty myopia.

Instead, I would have expected an article or video where GG directly supports a batshit position. Rather than a simple constitutional freedom of speech position where he allows an unsavory person airtime. At very least a direct link to the source material.

Oh some wild conspiracy about corporate America being "left". Most of the people who go to rumble get banned from YouTube for things like cryptocurrency pump and dumps, cyberbullying, servere harassment, targeted attacks and calls to violence, hawking fraudulent medical quackery, illegal money laundering, you know, crime

Crime stuff.

These are consequences for crime.

Ok, yet none of these things describe GG.

Came here to say this. The main reason I cared about Salon at all was they basically had peak Greenwald.

I agree.

I’m imagining the shutdown was timed for right after midterm elections ( and not before ) so Salon could exercise influence through that event.
