Greenwald is not right wing? He is in the business of getting clicks and he can get clicks from right wing partisan hacks by attacking the same flaws in the mainstream leftest media as exist on the mainstream rightest media... All he has to do is IGNORE the exact same flaws in right wing media and gets clicks from right wingers. $$$

Either that or right wing media does not push lies and conspiricy's to distract right wing viewers from the real issues of the time. Right?

Sophistry. There is *NO LEFT-WING MEDIA IN THE US*. There is a corporate dick-sucking media only.

Sasha - The purpose of corporate dick sucking media is to misinform voters and thus enable the powerful to screw those with less power. Misinformed voters is the problem.

Corporate media is one cause. Right wing media is another cause. In Hate Inc Matt slammed BOTH form of media for their lies. Since reading the book and joining this board he ONLY slams corporate media and their lies and virtually ignores the lies of right wing media. In turn I rarely see the lies of corporate media on these message boards but i constantly see the lies of right wing media repeated on these boards.

Correlation or causation. I am telling matt it appears to be the later...

I think you are creating a problem where there is none.

Glenn also attacks right-wingers too, e.g. on warmongering stuff.

True... But after 40yrs of growing income inequality where we are in the middle of the first generation of Americans to have less than their parents and the resulting anger and hopelessness in so many Americans negatively effected by growing income inequality Matt should state clearly that he is ONLY calling out right winger lies in warmonger and NOT in economic policy where they LIE daily and right wing voters believe their lies and vote for leaders that are screwing them economicaly while pandering to their identity politics
