re: #76 jaunte

It’s weird, because they’re arguing his personality is completely irrelevant to his writing — while at the same time applauding him for not hiding his personality and making it a big part of his writing.

If it’s irrelevant, why do his defenders come across so shrill, like they’re defending a protected member of a tribe?

It’s long been obvious to me that Greenwald’s biases and personality deeply affect what he chooses to write about, and how he writes about it, and I don’t mean that in a good way. Biases are a fact of life for all writers, but rather than write in a way that confronts his own biases and tries to account for other points of view without demonizing them, Greenwald writes like he’s trying to hurt someone, with no concern at all for fairness or honesty.
