        The idea that he's a secret chud because he goes on Tucker is lib shit. He's just a contrarian "progressive" lib that cares more about censorship and free expression than anything material.

          Oh what’s that Fox News is platforming a guy who has done excellent work against fascism in Brazil. Well damn we should stop that.

          Dave Anthony pointed out the absurd number of households that basically only get Fox News. People should be going on there.

            Not only that but literally every small to medium sized business with TVs in any rural area will have Fox News on all day. The outrage is pure culture war horseshit.

              He was making a lot more money working at the Intercept than he will from whatever he does from now on.

                Maybe. And not to sound like a Russiagate lib, but foreign governments could easily pay him covertly through substack. Libs aren't wrong in that foreign governments sponsor propaganda in the west, I just think it's actually a good thing lol.

                  I'm just saying that he was already making a ton of money, im not sure this is about just making money, he obviously has a thing against this liberal bias that the Intercept espouses. I think its a shitty rag, i dont know why people defend it so much.

          Yeah, but what's his goal? Everyone who watches Tucker Carlson already thinks that Hunter Biden is a Ukrainian Chinese spy who hoards kiddie porn, so he's not really spreading his message. On its face, it looks more like he just wanted a sympathetic ear where he could air his grievances. And for what? To turn Carlson's chud user base against the intercept? I don't know, it just seems completely self-serving to me.

              Maybe? But it sure didn't seem like he had a leftist agenda to push. And Carlson specifically has used populist messages in the past to further the alt-right mindset in his viewers in really disturbing ways, so I don't know what benefit Greenwald saw in going on that particular show. Carlson really is like, the worst mainstream media content producer. It just seems like a net loss for any agenda other than making Greenwald feel better.

            What’s wrong with his goal being trying to push more into that story?

        Watch the interview, Glenn didn't say anything he wouldn't normally say. This is peak lib brain worms. All cable news networks exploit people, stop playing team sports like the libs want you to and educate yourself. If you are on the left you are by definition banned from liberal media like MSNBC or CNN. Lots of leftist go on Tucker because he provides one of the largest platforms to speak to American audiences, and this lets Glenn get out his version of events while the intercept and other liberals continue to smear him.

        He's not platforming Tucker, Tucker is platforming him.

        Him refers to the guy whose reporting exonerated Lula from the made up charges and singlehandedly caused the extreme-right alliance between Bolsanaro and Moro to break, thus severely limiting their grip on power.
