You're mixing up your disses, Bubba. Blog "sock puppetry" is when you pretend to be somebody else and write to support yourself. You probably meant "annoyingly accurate but in opposition to me."
Just trying to be conceptually correct. The good thing is that you're keeping your signal-to-noise ratio at record lows in the new year.
Huh - hadn't read those charges against Greenwald. I retract my snark and apologize for it. But your bagging on the guy doesn't negate that all of the things Greenwald's teasing about are actually quotes from others, and thus not really his thinking at all.
I don't find the sock-puppet charges particularly robust. For one thing, even if all of the supposed evidence is true, it could have been somebody else writing from Greenwald's home. I can't think why Greenwald, who's an outspoken, seemingly quite sure of himself guy, would hide behind a pseudonym to defend himself. It seems much more likely (and he almost says so here) that it was somebody else living or working with him.

".....the cogs in the right-wing noise machine, is merely self-absorbed wishful thinking masquerading as objective knowledge:"
Yes, indeed predictable from that sock puppet source.
Not that it matters anyway......

Good old Dave....Wrong on all counts, as usual.
Must be that "'Progressive' Consensus" at work on his easily distracted brain again.

Whatever helps you to rationalize it, Dave....
