(25,520 posts)They are Russians. The Russians changed the name. Same as you'd say, "The Americans changed the name of the Department of War to the Department of Defense in the late 40s."

He is also an arrogant hypocritica ass, who cannot admit to a mistakes, because he cannot separate his personal bias from his coverage of a story, and that makes him an inept journalist

(16,387 posts)Im also aware its a distinction without difference.
Here again, The Intercept is a KGB rag and Greenwald is a Putin bootlicker. Sorry not sorry youre salty about all of that.
And "salty"? Try amused.

(5,644 posts)"[Nances] background is quite sketchy but [he] is presented by the cable network (and now by NBC News) as an intelligence expert and former intelligence officer for the U.S. Navy."
Sketchy background? Is Greenwald implying that Nance isnt an intelligence expert or even a former intelligence officer for the Navy? Greenwald can take that innuendo and shove it right in his ear. Heres Nances thumbnail bio, sourced from Wikipedia:
He graduated from college with a degree in Arabic. Obviously he knows more about Arabic cultures than, say, Glenn Greenwald.
He is a decorated Naval veteran with 20 years of service, "was involved in numerous counter-terrorism, intelligence, and combat operations ... garnered expertise within the fields of intelligence and counterterrorism [and was] an instructor in wartime and peacetime Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE), training Navy and Marine Corps pilots and aircrew how to survive as a prisoner of war."
Nance helped create the Navy's Advanced Terrorism, Abduction and Hostage Survival course of instruction. Think he knows something about terrorism, intelligence and counter-intelligence?
But wait, there's more. After retiring honorably from the Navy in 2001, he founded a private intelligence support company, Special Readiness Services International (SRSI). He was a first responder to the American Airlines Flight 77 strike on the Pentagon on 9/11. He was "an intelligence and security contractor in Iraq, Afghanistan, the UAE and North Africa."

(297,230 posts)What do I say to all of this? Fuck you, Glenn Greenwald, you useful and willing tool of the Kremlin. Fuck you for undermining the Clinton campaign in 2016, and fuck you for your upcoming attempts to undermine the Dems in 2018. Fuck you sideways.
Glenn Greenwald is:
a Russian troll 21% 356 votes
a useful idiot who wrongly thinks he is a warrior for peace and justice 38% 648 votes
a real American hero 9% 149 votes
a garden-variety asshole 18% 303 votes
someone I'd rather ignore in favor of a nice slice of pie 14% 238 votes
I voted he's a Russian troll.. GG knows exactly what he's doing or why did he purge his tweets? He's a dangerous asshole..
I was on to his Bullshit from the get-go.

(561 posts)How do you delete that many tweets? That would take years to do. Twitter at times can be rather wonky. That number is huge & I seriously wonder if it's even humanly possible to do, let alone on just one day? How?
joshcryer
(62,270 posts)He obviously and umambigiously didn't want to trawl through thousands of tweets to delete the ones he knew would be obviously collusion with Russians or apologist for Russian bullshit, so he just mass deleted everything. And he boldly accused others of cowardly bullshit. Just mass deleted everything before that date. Fucking cowardly piece of shit.

(12,654 posts)...when Democrats were still reeling from the election cheats and the Rove/Cheney coup. However, once one started looking into his past, one realized that at best, he was an American Contrarian; an authoritarian-leaning ego looking for a cause, a radical self-styled "rebel" who dislikes democracy because his view of what will make America great has nothing to do with the hard work, consensus building, and frankly, the pitfalls and necessary regulations that occur in a democracy.
We saw them in the 60's co-opting various progressive movements, we see them now - "Burn it all down so I can get all my followers and fellow travelers to rebuild it into our Utopia!" They always knew best - just as the businessmen and theocrats they competed against for the leadership of a country did.
Greenwald and his ilk want to live in a very small, self-contained world. They either collect and flatter people they convince to join them unconditionally, or go to war with anyone who disagrees with them, in order to "disappear" the enemy from the snow globe paradise they believe the earth is supposed to be.
