What's propagandistic about it?

It seems pretty clear from my perspective that the Snowden papers were a high watermark of Greenwald's career. Everything else since then has been a cash-in on selling to the populist anti-establishment grift, regardless of fact. I wouldn't say Greenwald himself is "right-wing", but that end of the aisle is objectively more favorable to his beat.

This is true. We're long past the days when the left was the anti-establishment voice.

It is truly sad that the right wing speaks truth to power these days. I mean when the Bushes, Cheneys, Roves, Boltons are feted by the left these days, one will have to skip past these traditional pigeon-holing.
