> Greenwald seems like a remarkably average journalist

Sure, bud. Greenwald, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist is all of a sudden "average", just because he dared to ask questions and expose near-airtight censorship by mass media and Big Tech.

OK - and the NYT has won six Pulitzers this year. Every news organization that choose not to run the story has a dozen.

Your seemingly single criterion for trust still doesn't give the weight to Greenwald.

Mediocre people win prizes, and smart people do dumb things. Greenwald is not a reliable person to carry the entire institution of journalism on his shoulders as you keep insisting he does.

(Newsweek, by the way, has been owned and operated by Olivet / David Jang's Community cult for several years now. It has no connection to the previous magazine of the same name.)


There's a difference. Greenwald won a Pulitzer _before_ it was awarded for "orange man bad" as a sole qualification.


Thanks god we have you to properly award the Metapulitzer or we’d never know what was decent journalism.
