This breaks my heart for the world, but it increases my respect of Glenn.
Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi are my only two journalists I really seek out and follow. Glenn especially.
I was of the belief that The Intercept was a valid source solely because of Glenn.
I believe Glenn. I will follow Glenn.
- rat87 6y agoI don't know why Both of them seem to have bought into insane conspiracy theories about the actual Russian collision with the Trump campaign
- jessaustin 6y agoA "conspiracy theory" is when one believes in hidden events without evidence. For example, the idea that Trump and Russia "colluded" [what would that even mean?], of which we've never seen any verifiable evidence. The most solid backing for that theory is anonymous leaks. The skepticism of Taibbi or Greenwald is the opposite of that.
- raxxorrax 6y agoIt isn't an insane conspiracy. Not even the deep state is one. It does exists in form of political networks in Washington. That isn't some malicious hydra, but on contrast to that the Russian collusion story is an actual conspiracy and hit job on political opponents. Get a tin foil hat if you fear Russians behind every tree, but the story got old pretty quickly.
