Sorry but you're not the arbiter of "first rate journalism" and you never will be.

  That's true. But it doesn't matter in this context because Greenwald's writing pattern strongly supports my argument. Look at his Pulitzer-winning stories in the Guardian, or his stories based on leaks in Brazil that revealed government corruption written at the Intercept. He didn't casually string insults throughout those stories-- he let the revelations speak for themselves. And honestly, why would any sane investigative journalist would want to distract from a breaking story with a bunch of facile name-calling? If for some reason Greenwald wants to write like that in a future on some similarly groundbreaking exclusive as the Snowden leaks were, I guess I'll have to reassess.
