Greenwald did promotional appearances with Jones
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.
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
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.
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.
Crime stuff.
These are consequences for crime.
