This is false. The progressives loved him when he was a fierce opponent to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is non aligned, non partisan, which of course, the left qualifies as "right wing". His principles didn't change, only that the left became more cultish and extreme.

- CrackerNews 3y agoTo me, it appears that Glenn Greenwald is calling out the politicization/weaponization of trans rights by powerful political and corporate interests. This is where he finds a common footing with the fringe right and gives pause to people in the institutional left, which may rely on these interests for funding.
- webshit2 3y agoPlease. Read through his twitter. ZERO pushback on the mountain of bullshit coming from people like Tucker and Trump, ZERO pushback on pretty much everything Russia is doing. He has vastly different standards for the RNC and DNC. Not a peep about election denial becoming a mainstream conspiracy theory in the GOP - but don't worry, no shortage of Russiagate complaints. I can only assume that he believes that as a counterweight to MSNBC (?) he can just completely ignore these, but in reality it makes him come off as a hack. Look at this: https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1666559102527389699 https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1666559102527389699. Tucker is a "US elite" by any reasonable definition (except if you're using it as generic right-wing boogeyman)... in that case why not mention Tucker claims, with no evidence, that Ukraine destroyed the dam?
