I think also, in the case of somebody like Greenwald, it doesn't really matter how many people he reaches because he's essentially an empty envelope - he doesn't really hold substantive opinions. For example, he supported the Iraq war, only to moralize about how awful it was when US soldiers killed Iraqi soldiers. There's a lot of moral-stand-taking but no real incisiveness or heart. PS: That's also kind of how you get a broad audience - by articulately broadcasting the sort of opinions that most people already have.
