Recently, the Intercept attempted to go after two Hispanic video reporters who had the temerity to go to Antifa and BLM riots, and videotape the destruction that they wreak. Greenwald ripped them for it at the time.

But now he also appeared on Jimmy Dore's show, talking about it. It was amazing. This is the most entertaining (and insightful) I've seen Greenwald. I laughed my ass off. He's constantly ripping the lying media a new one.

Here are some of the best quotes (but you really want to hear them from Greenwald himself):

Greenwald on Antifa: They often actually attack journalists. I founded a press freedom group called the Freedom of the Press Foundataion, along with Edward Snowden, Laura Poytress and Daniel Osborne, and we track attacks on journalists... And a lot of these attacks come from these insurrectionary anarchist groups like Antifa. They are constantly attacking journalists for the crime of reporting on them.

Greenwald on billionaires: They keep saying that they're giving their money away, but somehow their net worth always double or triples every five years.

Greenwald: The Intercept is using two white guys, funded by a billionaire, to put a target on the back of two non-white journalists. Imagine if the ideology was reversed.

Greenwald on one of the 'journalist' Robert Mackey: You saw how that they showed him in black and white, like he's a very serious, battle-harded journalist straight out of the killing fields of Cambodia...When he was at the New York Times, this is what he became know for. He would take the tweets by people in Arab countries who were actually at the protests in Tahrir Square...and he would aggregate them. Sitting on his fat white ass on the couch...He's trying to present himself as on the same level as these actual reporters who are actually on the ground reporting on these dangerous situations, but by aggregating tweets from his couch.

Robert Mackey: [They] roam from city to city feeding the conservative media's hunger for images of chaos and destruction on the margins of left-wing protests.

Greenwald: "They roam from city to city." That's called reporting. You go from one place where something newsworthy is happening, and when that even ceases and goes to another place, you then go to that other place.

Greenwald: It's mostly right-wing reporters who are covering [Antifa riots.] That's because...if you brought up at an Intercept editorial news meeting...I want to go and interview members of these communities (and it's mostly working-class communities where the damage is done, not the white, liberal, upper middle class neighborhoods where Intercept reporters live), you would be told that you're being a racist, fascist-enabler, that these are people who are fighting fascism.

Greenwald: So much journalism is now focused on punishing ordinary powerless citizens for thoughtcrimes. They are the f***cking Stasi.

Greenwald: "The stuff that Antifa damages, and the people who suffer from defund the police, aren't [the journalists]. They have private security. They put them in co-ops that are very protected. The people who are suffering live in those neighborhoods that they never go into.

Greenwald: This class attribute of national media, not local media but national media, is the reason why they put everything through the identity politics framework, where they get to be oppressed, because they are African-American or Hispanic or LGBT or whatever. But their parents worked for Goldman Sachs, or big law firms, or were billionaire hedgefund managers. So they don't want to talk about class, because if they did, it would become obvious that the people really drowning in privilege are them, not the people they are accusing of being privileged.

Greenwald on Intercept 'journalists': These eunuchs, who are 40/50-year old liberals who completely changed their philosophy and vocabulary since the George Floyd killing, cause they're petrified of the millennials who supposedly work for them.
