As usual, Glenn Greenwald has been catching heat all over Centrist Twitter, this time for conducting a brief interview<\/a> for Russian state media outlet RT after a panel appearance in Moscow. RT, in typical fashion, titled the interview \u201cGreenwald: I came to Russia to combat US\u2019 toxic view on the country,\u201d which, while technically an accurate reflection of part of something Greenwald said in the interview, also happens to make perfect\u00a0retweet fodder<\/a> for lying sociopaths<\/a> like MSNBC\u2019s Malcolm Nance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nance, along with US state media outlet Polygraph<\/em><\/a>, helped circulate a completely evidence-free conspiracy theory that Greenwald is \u201can agent of Trump and Moscow.\u201d Nance also smeared Greenwald<\/a> for having appeared on Fox News with Tucker Carlson.<\/p>\n

This is an ongoing debate that has increased in shrillness recently that I\u2019d like to briefly address. The argument goes that antiwar journalists who are critical of the US power establishment like Max Blumenthal and Glenn Greenwald should not be making appearances on Fox News or RT, because it lends those outlets credibility. If people see a reputable journalist appearing on Fox News, the argument goes, they will assume that that lying propaganda firm is trustworthy, and they will give it more credibility than a more liberal-aligned outlet like MSNBC, which is theoretically (*cough*) closer to the antiwar left on the ideological spectrum.<\/p>\n
