Also Tucker Carlson
I can't think of a single time when I disagreed with Glenn Greenwald, or that he has been ignorant or sensational. I can't quite say that about Tucker Carlson, although I usually share his view and I always appreciate his view.
I feel the urge to disagree with you... But I've never listened to greenwald so I don't know what he talks about :)
Your instinct to disagree is the right instinct. The way to find truth is to try to disconfirm things, not to accept things.
His podcast is pretty good, but I can't listen to it all the time. Most of the time, I fall in the uninformed category.
Greenwald has maintained credibility Few others: Aaron Maté Jeremy Scahill Chris Hedges
I find Glenn more nuanced and well researched than those names. I've been unsure about the veracity of Aaron's and Chris's views on Venezuela, for example, wherein they never dare to think socialist policy has any affect whatsoever on that nation's outcome, but that it is 100% attributed to the evil acts of the United States. So while I think they do research their work (Aaron especially IMHO) I think they let their ideology influence them too much. I don't know Jeremy Scahill.
I’ll add Scott Adams to the list. ✅YT and X.
