That both sides engage in jingoism?
(The article in New Yorker is a tiring and annoying read. I may not always like Greenwald's rhetoric but in this case, he correctly highlights the lack of evidence. In an age of rumours and unfounded - but indeed plausible - accusations, the referenced piece seemingly lacks sense of irony.)
- avmich 10y agoIt's interesting how the same article can support different opinions just because of context. The points which Greenwald - a serious professional, to say the least - makes may look just strange enough to suspect that each one of them is left unfinished, and questions regarding them unanswered - and so the whole impression is - not there. For example, lack of evidence - as soon as you think you have one, you're left to wonder what to do with that piece of evidence, if the proposition of the article relies on the absence of something in which you aren't sure.
