The Myth of Glenn Greenwald, Champion of Journalistic Freedom
Glenn Greenwald claims to be a champion of journalistic freedom, but his brand of so-called "journalism" really is political advocacy disguised as journalism; in fact Greenwald is a supporter of socialist and leftist movements across the region that have trampled on journalistic freedom, while exulting in their brazen and shameless corruption...

Glenn Greenwald likes to portray himself as an anti-corruption crusader, but has strangely overlooked the rampant corruption of his close friends Dilma Rousseff and Lula da Silva.
Glenn Greenwald is having his moment in the sun. He is currently enjoying what every establishment hack and pawn dreams of: a fawning writeup in the New York Times, which paints a tired, stale, and well-worn picture…portraying Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro as a pseudo-fascist, and Greenwald as a champion of the free press, heroically standing up to a dictatorial government that will end freedom of speech and expression if it has its way.
The problem is that Glenn Greenwald is hardly the champion of freedom of the press. There is a cause, however (really a religion) to which he dedicates every moment of every waking day: the global socialist movement, and its constant struggle to enslave the peoples of Latin America.
This, of course, involves Greenwald repeatedly and willfully ignoring a whole host of grievous violations of freedom of speech and the press on the part of Latin American leftist leaders: Rafael Correa, Fidel/Raul Castro, Hugo Chavez/Nicolas Maduro, Daniel Ortega, Evo Morales, and Cristina Kirchner first and foremost among them.

Though many may not know who Greenwald is here, this is important and he's probably worth taking on. Greenwald is this American journalist in Brazil who apparently publishes exposes down there on some facets of the Brazilian government.
