3. Maybe not equivalent, but a real and important issue.

I don't think he is defending the separation of immigrant families at all. In fact, he calls it barbaric.

I think you are reaching because those two word neither imply equivalency and I don't see any value in trying to place a hierarchy on injustice.

If Hillary got this much leeway from the Intercept, she'd be the goddamn POTUS today...

10. I don't know Greenwald's motive

But I will reiterate that it brings up an extremely important issue. I'm looking at an article, not judging it on the author or the publication.

P.S. I don't see the issue of mass incarceration of AAs as B.S.

12. Well I *DO* know Greenwald's motives

And while it is an issue worth talking about, the timing of it is highly suspect and he has a long, documented history of doing this shit (Ironically, he had a long, documented history of calling out other so-called MSM Beltway journalists doing this, but once his boy Donnie got in he stopped even pretending to be a reporter and went into PR full-time)... Also, if you think Glennbo gives a shit about minorities all of a sudden, I got a flying saucer to sell you at a cut-rate price...

Please... Do a little research on how issues get framed, how they get spun, how they get intentionally distorted, and how misinformation becomes the dominant narrative. Once you do that, you'll easily see that not only is Greenwald operating straight out of page one of the 'playbook', he's doing it with the deft skill and rhetorical dexterity of a seventh-grader in English class...

Every time Trump is in trouble they have their ready-made story to try to re-direct the discussion elsewhere...

So fearless and adversarial...
