    its not like i read articles it seems like im missing something. but i still think that theres something about ideology going on other than just personal beef with some lib editors and journalissts

    Also i have ahuge soft spot for glenn even if he has had some lib takes in the past hes a openly gay and i think an influental journalist in brazil

      I'm not disagreeing with this, there's definitely something ideological related. But I think that goes much deeper than just this single article, from the basis of this single article alone you can't establish an ideological pattern.

      My guess is that Glenn just wants to see the democratic party burn to the ground, his connection to politics is much more viceral and life or death than it is for the rest of these folks. The other folks don't have this pressing desire to make that happen and so they'll dance around issues of journalistic integrity to slow his role and he doesn't like that.

      The Obama administration treated him and Snowden like shit, he obviously hates Biden for some of that. Countless DNC operatives were posting about how they hoped he'd rot in a Brazilian prison. His strong defense of Russia likely has some relation to Snowden rather than just being pure anti jingoism as he doesn't speak nearly as strongly about American intervention towards China, ect.

      I also have a huge soft spot for him, the Snowden stuff was a big part of my political awakening, and I love how he's a catty bitch online haha. It's also worth pointing out he still says intercept brazil is good.

        its too long for me to read drunk but it seems like he got really shafted by the other editors that had their own ideology shaping the platform and hes fucking pissed off about it

          I think it's more that he has his own ideology and his editors don't really care, they care about maintaining the journalistic integrity of the paper. There's nothing in their emails that comes across as blatently ideological, but his response certainly was.
