Glenn Greenwald Rips MSNBC to Tucker Carlson: They Fed People ‘Total Disinformation’ and Exploited Fears on Russia

by Josh Feldman | Mar 25th, 2019, 9:05 pm

The Intercept‘s Glenn Greenwald tore into MSNBC tonight for its Russia coverage following the completion of Robert Mueller‘s report.

Tucker Carlson––who said earlier in his show there needs to be accountability for people who pushed Russia conspiracy narratives––said of Greenwald, “From the very beginning, he questioned the theory. He ultimately concluded it was a sham investigation with no evidence to support it. For that he was roundly attacked.”

Greenwald singled out MSNBC tonight in particular for criticism:

“It wasn’t just Howard Dean, it was continuously on MSNBC, which––let me just say, should have their top hosts on primetime go before the cameras and hang their head in shame and apologize for lying to people for three straight years, exploiting their fears to great profit. These are people who were on the verge of losing their jobs. That whole network was about to collapse. This whole scam saved them. And not only did they constantly feed people for three straight years total disinformation, they did it on purpose, Tucker.”

He credited Carlson’s show for letting his audience “hear the other side of the story before saying “MSNBC did the exact opposite.”

1. Greenwald went over the edge a long time ago... David Sirota must LOVE having him as his biggest

defender...

3. Greenwald wasn't bad when he had a column over at Salon but then, damn he went straight to hell.

4. He was a joke in his Salon days, as well.

His articles were in constant need of "updates" which were just corrections of stuff he got completely wrong. It wasn't uncommon for an article of Greenwald's to have a dozen of them tacked on within hours of publication.

He has gotten demonstrably worse, however.

6. That's your opinion of his Salon days, not mine. But, I do feel he deteriorated badly in the last..

months/year of his duration there. I wonder if that deterioration was the reason he left Salon

2. Can someone explain to me how this guy is classified as liberal?

I didn't pay much attention before the election.
I know there is talk of him being somewhat of a Russian asset.

5. What happened to this guy?

He used to be an award winning investigative journalist, consistent critic of the Bush administration, and champion for a free, unfettered press. Now he's a whiny little turd, spewing right-wing propaganda.

I'm assuming the bizarre transformation has something to do with Putin and Russia.

7. So glad I was never taken in

by this russian compromised piece of crap. I've got a list of hidden comments by those who were. Yes, I'm feeling very vindicated.

8. Who cares what a Russian agent thinks?
