Yeah, he grew up in 1950, you idiot. It's 2024. Who cares if he shit his pants when he was baby, had a stutter in the 1940s, or really did meet the dead people he imagines talking to 40 years ago? If a stutter shows back up after 70 years, you're shitting your pants in your 80s, or think you're talking to the same people 30 years after they died, it's because you have dementia.
For reporting the court ruling ? No
Not just reporting on a court ruling. He made an insane assertion in the tweet. Read the First Amendment sometime and look up that case. I think you'll see that Greenwald is incredibly dishonest and hackish.
I am not seeing that but I will check it out, any sources from where you discovered this
The source is his tweet. Here's the First Amendment:
I will check it out, Greenwall is a liberal so why would he go out of his way to be partisan against his side?
Why do you say he's a liberal? He is always extremely partisan and hateful toward liberals.
I could be totally wrong about him; I know he won a bunch of rewards as a journalist but don't recall hearing specifically about what party he is in or who he votes for I will check it out though.
He was a lawyer, and he has no training as a journalist, and has never been hired as one. He first became kind of famous for representing Matthew Hale, a Neo-Nazi, murderer, and lawyer, who was disbarred and fighting for reinstatement. Greenwald got attention for some unethical actions in the case (secretly recording witnesses) and for the vitriol he heaped on Hale's critics. Then he started blogging--big W. fan and a supporter of the Iraq war. Later turned against the war and was more libertarian, and he became very critical of Bush and the PATRIOT Act (which is why some liberals liked him). Snowden reached out to him to turn over stolen documents, which is what won him some awards. But he's always been a kind of quirky rightist, and during the Trump years, he's become more of a pure partisan. People have trouble understanding his positions on issues because he's not really a thinker, and he doesn't care about U.S. domestic policy (doesn't live here). The only issue he cares about besides advancing the right generally is opposition to U.S. foreign power (that is, he wants the U.S. to have less international influence, which means more for China/Russia/Iran/North Korea).
