Love that dude. He’s a dying breed. A real journalist who seeks the truth.

He likely despises Trump. But the truth is more important.

Truth. I especially like his line about the reality of the national press. The Q people get accused of following a LARP. But really, that’s what the press is, they’re the real LARPers.

I hadn’t thought of it that way. But yes.

Liberals believe in objective truth.

Leftists, or whatever you wan to call these people, do not believe in truth, which is how you end up with lines like “her truth” arguing that truth is whatever you think, want, or need it to be.

And when the facts don’t support their agenda they make up new facts that will.

Liberals, historically, have also been anti-establishment. These are the Greenwalds and Jimmy Dores of the world. Old school progressives that push for change against the desires of entrenched powers and corporate America.

Modern day leftists, however, are completely different. They not only exploit but control those institutions of power to push their agenda. They've fully embraced and become the establishment.

That is great. The ends don't justify the means. These people are not what used to be called journalists. They are politicians!

Glenn Greenwald is a national treasure. I sure wish all journalist had half of his integrity.

Whether or not Trump wins, the rules are different now. People do not trust the media anymore.

This 100%. I don't expect to agree with journalists all the time and I don't whether conservative or liberal. However what I do expect is them not protecting one presidential candidate over the other.
