As @mtaibbi says, this is - by far - the worst media humiliation since 2002. The lead anchor of MSNBC - the most influential liberal TV host - devoted her entire being to a fake conspiracy theory for 2 1/2 years, misleading millions. There will be no consequences for the media

1. Isn't Greenwald living in self-imposed exile in South America?

Who the fuck cares?

4. Exactly

[RHMerriman]

8. Just another foreign propagandist who lines up with commies and their allies in this country, the

Just another foreign propagandist who lines up with commies and their allies in this country, then...

10. Oh yes, he is not an unbias observer.

[RHMerriman]

12. Ah-yep...

Elderly rich people have never had a problem finding poor young people to try and justify the point of view of the old rich people.

5. All I know is the Intercept pays him $400k a year to write his garbage.

7. He lives in Brazil with his Brazilian husband.

2. Record breaking ratings for Rachel, though!

3. I am glad that Greenwald is in Brazil. He deserves Bolsonaro

6. It gets better.

"Anyway, if you're an MSNBC viewer - or reader of liberal sites on the internet - you were fed a steady stream of conspiratorial bullshit that completely warped your view of the world, all while they purposely excluded anyone who questioned their fraud & profited off your fears."

This guy is one big POS, though that's been my opinion of him for years, so I'm not surprised.

9. You and me both, from back when he had a loud following here.

11. Greenwald is a libertarian, not a "leftist"

[RandySF]

13. Then why did he go all-in for DSA candidates during last year's primaries

and smear people like Gretchen Whitmer and Sharice Davids?

[struggle4progress]

15. His aim is always to try to open space for libertarian candidates, like Gary Johnson

[TwilightZone]

14. The terms are not mutually exclusive.

Libertarian covers a lot of territory. There are left-libertarians and right-libertarians and variations on a theme between. Some far-left libertarians could certainly also be referred to as leftists.

16. While I agree that "libertarians" may overlap with different parts of the political spectrum

in different ways, their overall anti-government stance must objectively be reckoned primarily pro-corporate in today's US politics and thus essentially matches current GOP thinking
