There's no way you could classify Greenwald as only having written meta-commentary on journalism unless you've never read anything else by him in his entire storied career.
- Barrin92 6y agothere is indeed no way I could classify his whole career like that, which is why is used the qualifier 'nowadays'. I am very aware of the amount of investigative journalism he has done. But the point is, that takes institutional support, it cannot be done with a bunch of fans online. And in recent times he has almost exclusively written about nothing else but the online drama surrounding his persona or other journalists.

- adamcstephens 6y agoIt’s almost like you didn’t read the post, which while a meta commentary on journalism also explicitly calls out recent non-meta articles he has written.
- Barrin92 6y agoI did read the post, and I actually also read the articles in qestion, which also themselves are basically about how the press reported on this or that drama of the week. With the additional bonus of throwing in increasingly strange and deranged attacks on the Democratic party in particular, probably because it sells well with his newfound audience. This is not 'adversarial, bold investigate journalism', he was allegedly promoting at the Intercept, now he's writing op-eds on the news headline of the week and whining about NPR in every other article.
