Glenn Greenwald is a right-wing conspiracy huckster. He's demonstrated enough questionable beliefs to cast shadows on the rest of his work.
This article is based on an investigation by Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-covid-propaganda/
If you are going to discredit a source, please try to discredit the claims made rather than the author.
This post could have been a link to Reuters. Instead it was a link to a disingenuous conspiracy spreading nutjob. I don't care what the claims are when they're filtered through someone like that.
Now would be a good time to describe what specific issues you have with Greenwald's reporting on past issues and where he's been inconsistent with facts revealed after the fact.
His stint at The Guardian where he broke the Snowden leaks?
His work at The Intercept that revealed the corrupt dealings that led to Brazil's Lula losing the election and being imprisoned?
Or is it his appearances on US media, where he's on record for questioning the efficacy of Russian interference in the 2016 election (which IIRC is backed by a study in Nature Communications) and criticizing Israeli influence in US politics?
I'm not disagreeing with you, but you're not exactly providing much in the way of evidence outside of your own opinion.
