Having done some googling the age gap isn't as big as I thought. Their current ages are 51 and 33, they hooked up when they were 38 and 20 or thereabouts. I think he was 19 but almost 20. Could be worse.

People like that don't really exist.

Is that a joke? Because if it is it's a very funny one.

Take the most recent piece. Yes, he was stupidly trolled by nance calling him a traitor. And MSNBC is awful generally and awful specifically in this case for not sanctioning nance in some way. He absolutely should respond. But then when you read the response he layers on his narrative so ridiculously thickly smeared it is rendered utterly unreadable.
It's worth noting that Greenwald's current unpopular views on Russia and the election are more or less the same as Chomsky's.

When is it too old to bang 19/20 year old women?

I'm 30 and recently had a pretty hot 19/20 year old chick seem really into to me but I shut it down because it felt wrong. Can't lie though I definitely wanted to.

wikipedia says Glenn and Dave got together when Glenn was 38 and Dave was 20

I thought for a while that Greenwald’s crapiness was due to hurt feelings over the fact that tons of liberals shrugged off the NSA spying story but he wrote that awful immigration blog post before all that stuff. So I think he’s just naturally susceptible to a lot of right wing derp.

imo this and the being a libertarian earlier in life are way bigger knocks against GG than anything he's done in the last year or two.

not gonna try and respond to everything, esp given the only defenders ITT are me and the forum's resident punchbag, but those Cohen tweets are fine, that Chait article is dumb and bad, like him ('almost nobody attributes Clinton’s loss entirely to Russian interference.' lol ok dude, sure) and Greenwald has done actually lasting important work in journalism, which pretty much none of his media detractors have, so I'm inclined to give him some room to be an ******* or contrarian or whatever.

also

because what purpose does it serve to tell people the same **** they hear absolutely everywhere else?

This is nothing new, he's always been like this. It's just that under Democratic rule, his claim to be a speaker of truth to power seemed more plausible.
yeah, my man never wrote anything during the Bush era. he just popped up out of nowhere in 2008 right? never criticised anyone for starting illegal wars and torturing people. it's not like...the entire reason anyone knows he is or anything. jesus come on dude

yeah, no, they're not

When I turned 18 and had to sign up for the draft I thought to myself, "wholly crap they might hand me a rifle and tell me to kill my country's enemies or die trying."

18 years old is an adult in my view. And no matter my age, 18 year old females are fair potential mates.

I mean, sure, you can watch Dora the Explorer until the day you die, be a hardcore fan, whatever. Just don’t act surprised when the rest of us assume you have the mental capacity of the typical viewer of that show.

They probably wish they could their kid's body back from NKorea.

He's heard from so many of them.

I would guess that Wachtell had some serious issues with Greenwald. It may have been mutual, and Greenwald's complaints about Wachtell may have been legitimate. But there is almost no chance that he was a highly successful employee who just up and left after one year.
