> CNN and MSNBC won't have him on despite him being willing to interview.

The majority of journalists and opinion writers wont ever be on CNN and MSNBC. Overwhelming majority of them, in fact.

> Every journalist has a particular topic and audience that they focus on. His topic and audience is around waking up left wingers to the bad behavior of the "their own side".

Well, in that case, he is massive failure. Probably because he argues in bad faith and also because hate is dripping out of him.

> This topic is almost completely unaddressed amongst the left.

The left is constantly engaged in in-fighting.



Glenn Greenwald is worthy of being on CNN and MSNBC, and has been on before, but mysteriously was no longer invited once he started criticizing the liberal establishment. Hmm..

And in-fighting is not the same as calling out the corrupt elite that maintain the Overton window of what most blue journalists and politicians speak about.


Overwhelming majority of journalists is "worthy" of that. But, Glenn Greenwald seemed to be mostly emotional bundle last years as I was watching him. And completely unable to handle any pushback or criticism back - responding with pure insults and anger half the time.

I used to like him and respect him, which is why I was following him. It was not other peoples criticism of Greenwald that made me loose respect to him. People I normally follow dont comment on Greenwald. It was him.
