Is Glenn Greenwald a liar?

68. That's the problem with "advocacy journalism"

which is a cute little euphemism for "Propaganda, but the okay kind of propaganda since it is serving a meaningful cause I personally support"

The universal, 100% unfuckwitable flaw with "advocacy journalism" is the more an "advocacy journalist" believes in his cause, the more tied in he becomes personally with the story, and the more likely he is to conveniently ignore dissenting facts (or in extreme cases rely on questionable sources or just invent new facts for support)...Not only that, but "advocacy journalists" tend to get married to their causes and fall into absolutist, binary thinking (sound familiar?)

Greenwald's courtroom background means he is skilled in evasion, deception, changing his narrative on the fly, and saying things without really saying them...Because his lies are usually more complex than the garden-variety 2+2=5, it's much easier for me to point out his blatant hypocrisies, half-truths, notable silences, and lies by omission...
