Greenwald used to be a good read, years ago.

Ever since he threw is lot in with Assange, delivered Snowden to Putin, and started carrying water for Trump, his writing has gone south along with his honour.

As for the main point of his histrionics, "How could they all get it so wrong?!?":

• It's a matter of misreading part of a date, mistaking the 14th for the 4th;


• Which all of two news outlets got wrong in the same way;


• When they both desperately wanted to interpret it that way;


• And wasn't there something about how this was from e-mails read aloud over the phone at least at some stage?

Fucking wonder the meeja doesn't get a lot more wrong just by honest mistake, far as I can see.

All in all, Greenwald has become that kind of weird ostensibly-leftist scold of all things "establishment" who just so happen to spout all the exact same talking points as the most repugnant alt-or-not-right wingnut.

(Kind of like BOxley on that very last point.)
