Why do leftists always seem to make excuses for this guy? Yeah he has been part of some great work, especially with Snowden and Bolsonaro, but he has some real chud tier beliefs. To me he seems like your bog standard libertarian, meaning he has no conception of societal power dynamics and his concept of freedom is limited to the level of the individual.
I'll bite. Because you don't have to agree with every take a journalist has in order to respect the work they do.

You don't have to respect him as a person, just recognize that his work does mostly good

Which is what I am doing I specifically referenced good work in the past he was apart of. I am asking why people seem to do the opposite and defend him regardless of how shitty his opinions are.
Right, and they do that for the reason I stated above. I'd even go so far as to say it's maybe good to pay attention to people who you don't agree with 100% of the time. Even if only to be able to arm yourself with a more coherent criticism of them than that they have "no conception of societal power dynamics".
So basically you dont have an answer.
I've given you the answer twice now lol
No you have answered your own question, "Why do people critically support Glenn?" I am asking "Why are there so many people who seem to uncritically support him?"
Again, the answer is still the same. Not sure what's confusing you but I don't think I can help.
