When your political heroes take a crazy turn...

Glenn Greenwals has done so much excellent journalism and is an icon for the left but he's morphed into a Trump apologist.

I've just seen a liong debate he had with Destiny on the January the 6th and Greenwald was adamantly defending the idea that it wasn't an insurrection. Why? And also, it's bollocks. Also, giving it back to the libs doesn't count as speaking the truth to power when you are being an apologist for the far right.

It's like your favourite indie band produces a synth pop album with shit lyrics and tells the world that they don't get how cool and edgy they are.

Pfffff.

Hard to believe anyone who socialized with Noam Chomsky and Amy Goodman, would ever entertain appearing on the tuKKKer Carlson show, much less become a regular. WTF?

@Northwest He's fallen out with all of those people now. Sigh.

@Burnley123 He was part of the early resistance against the Bush post 9/11 trampling on civil rights.

@Northwest I didn't know that but cam believe it. I started reading him in the Guardian during the Snowdon and Wikileaks era. I've read a lot of his work for the Intercept.

The importance of his work, his courage and depth of analysis have all been outstanding. I cringe watching him speak now.

He's too intelligent to do a Russell Brand. But he isn't!

This is how he started out professionally, as an attorney.
