I used to see Glenn on Democracy Now so I was familiar with him and his zesty self. He was on the right side of things initially but I noticed a switch during the Trump/Russiagate situation where he basically was defending trump and trashing the Dems for conducting a bullshyt witch hunt.

He gradually got phased out of Democracy Now. Although I’m sure they prolly still reach out to him or his husband when they want news on Brazil.

I get what you are saying based on his previous work, but the man isn't an idiot.

Something has caused him to be in his feelings so much that he can only see both sides, or he has been compromised.

I veer towards him being compromised. There is no honor in Trump, yet his defense of both sides has sometimes been in praise of Trump, who is the embodiment of everything he fought against.

I am sure the truth will come out in the end and I am willing to admit if I am wrong, but in my eyes he is an agent.
Vladimir Putin is a bad hombre, but he isn’t Lex Luthor. Greenwald isn’t an agent, he just sucks. Sometimes the truth is right in front of you and isn’t a major conspiracy.
He textbooks strawmans on the Russia stuff.

All he focuses on is debunking the exaggerated, sensationalized and sometimes straight up false media coverage around it, which is legit, but he goes further to dismiss the validity of the story altogether, as if it’s a non-issue.

That’s where he loses me. He’s so invested in debunking the most false or dubious Russiagateclaims that he ignores what’s actually real. An adversarial power like Russia that has engaged in blatant election interference throughout Europe and other places—propping up right wing nationalist figures and attempting to undercut democratic processes and generally cause chaos and instability to weaken nations—that did interfere in our 2016 election and attempted to hack American infrastructure and wants to do so in the future, is a legitimate story and cause of concern for voters and citizens.

But GG just laughs and mocks and any all other concerns about the issue. That’s why he ends up looking silly when he does stuff like premature gloat about the bullshyt Barr report.
My problem is when he both sides it. The US has done this around world but that doesn’t make the Russians right.
