Greenwald has 24/7 protection because his recent reporting exposed the corruption in Balsonaro's administration and lead to Lula being freed from prison.
All the journalists who advocate censorship of things they don't like and engage in smear campaigns have never broken or reported on anything meaningful and probably never will. Many of them probably think that Assange deserves to be extradited and charged, even though that is a direct attack on their profession.

Greenwald More Recently has been on shows of hard right people like Tucker Carlson and quit The Intercept because they refused to publish conspiracy theories about Joe Biden right before the 2020 election. Here's the actual hit piece the intercept wouldn't publish https://greenwald.substack.com/p/article-on-joe-and-hunter-b... it was an attempted October surprise the paper wouldn't sign on to
Here he basically says January 6 was a bunch of peaceful protestors misrepresented as violent, really https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-false-and-exaggerated-c...
And here he is suggesting vote counting misconducts https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-us-inability-to-count-v...
And here he says you know who the "actual fascist" are? Facebook and Joe Biden https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-threat-of-authoritarian...
Splendid, just great, sounds like my uncle. Dude's totally pilled. The takeaway is effectively "don't trust the mainstream media, Trump is amazing" every time.
The conspiracy land world has a main door via Trump. But there's side doors that can hook people in as well. Through leftism (via strasserism the first time it came around), natural medicine, holistic spirituality, gamer culture, theres a bunch of fascist pipelines out there to hook people.
Look into their Recent records.
They shouldn't be facing state repression of course and should be free to do this.
But it's also just political hackery

> Greenwald More Recently has been on shows of hard right people like Tucker Carlson
He goes on his show because the other outlets are not interested in his topics and therefor won't have him on, probably because they are too busy spouting conspiracy theories about russia. He always says this: https://www.mediaite.com/tv/glenn-greenwald-defends-going-on...
> Intercept because they refused to publish conspiracy theories about Joe Biden right before the 2020 election
That's a news worthy story, especially because they did not deny it, which is basically admitting it. They censored the whole story and even lock the new york post out of their twitter account for reporting on it.
> Here he basically says January 6 was a bunch of peaceful protestors misrepresented as violent,
That's not what the article is about, it's about how the media pushed fake news about the event, most egregiously the death of the officer.
> And here he is suggesting vote counting misconducts
again that's not what the article is about, it's about the US inability to count the votes, which takes literally months.
> And here he says you know who the "actual fascist" are? Facebook and Joe Biden
I disagree, He just points out that how the Silicon Valley - Biden/Harris axis will pursue down the path of censorship. I think this was a correct analysis, just watch friday's hearing.
> "don't trust the mainstream media, Trump is amazing"
the former is true, the latter couldn't be further from the truth.
