> Greenwald is a disgraced journalist turned professional provocateur.

Says who? He's unpopular (with the media), now he attacks the media; what gets to decide he's "disgraced"?

I regret using the term “disgraced” because it’s hard to assess objectively as you point out, and superfluous to my argument, which is that 1) he is wrong in those quoted tweets, and 2) he is a polarizing figure who is not known for his objectivity and therefore, quoting his factually wrong statement as only evidence does not support the argument presented here.
