Ramanan — New York On Glenn Greenwald

Summary:
Short overview of New York Magazine's take on Greenwald on Trumpgate and Russiagate.  The whole article at New York is worth a read. Example. Greenwald is no longer invited on MSNBC, and he’s portrayed in the Twitter fever swamp as a leading villain of the self-styled Resistance. “I used to be really good friends with Rachel Maddow,” he says. “And I’ve seen her devolution from this really interesting, really smart, independent thinker into this utterly scripted, intellectually dishonest, partisan hack.” His view of the liberal online media is equally charitable. “Think about one interesting, creative, like, intellectually novel thing that [Vox’s] Matt Yglesias or Ezra Klein have said in like ten years,” he says. “In general, they’re just churning out Democratic Party agitprop

Couldn't agree more. But perviously to this, Maddow's silence when Cenk left MSNBC because he refused to parrot the party line was an early tell. 

Regarding Klein and Yglesias, once one is in the bubble, it's only a matter of time. Same for Maddow, et al.
