Greenwald is one of the last remaining journalists out there who sincerely criticize both the left and the right. While I disagree with a lot of what he writes, I give him a huge amount of credit for it.
- _Codemonkeyism 8y agoGreenwald is a political activist.
- acct1771 8y agoGood journalists have to be, it seems.
- _Codemonkeyism 8y agoNo. This is the sign of our times. And I might follow you, I might join your club if you're an activist, but I will not read your news site and pay for it if I want news. Activist opinions are free today.
- dictum 8y agoNot to comment on Greenwald personally, but how can you (outside of very cynical nihilism) analyze political/social activities and relationships in depth and not be, to some degree, an activist yourself?
- petty_griper 8y agoEveryone is a political activist, even people just going about their day. The only difference is the degree to which you're honest with yourself and others about it.
- lern_too_spel 8y agoAnn Coulter also criticizes both the left and the right. Credit should be given to those who can do so intelligently and egolessly, and neither Coulter nor Greenwald pass that bar.
- jammygit 8y agoI used to like him. A few years ago though he said some things about Sam harris that were sensationalist and untrue. Its a little tedious to compare his assertions to actual positions or rebuttals, but it left me feeling pretty disappointed in Greenwald for the carefulness of his thought (I'm assuming he wasn't being deliberately obtuse to be dramatic)
