Glenn might now be on the "other side of the regime", but we Brazilians have a good memory of him talking crap peddled by the USA about our country. While he is often accused of lying by political opponents on both the left and right, critics specifically point to instances where his reporting allegedly omitted or downplayed foreign interference, particularly from the U.S. and UK, to suit specific political narratives. It is specially true when these are meant to promote him as a "truth teller" when the truth is not really what he is putting out.
Greenwald’s 2021 book Securing Democracy and his reporting on Operation Lava Jato have been criticized for ignoring extensive evidence of U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI cooperation with Brazilian prosecutors. Critics argue that by focusing almost exclusively on domestic judicial corruption (Sergio Moro), he obscured a broader "lawfare" strategy coordinated with U.S. agencies to destabilize the Workers' Party (PT).
Reports from Brasil Wire suggest he has "civilized the natives" by framing Brazilian judicial decisions against far-right actors as "totalitarianism," while ignoring the democratic context of those actions.
While Greenwald correctly reported on NSA spying on Rousseff via The Guardian, some critics argue his later coverage failed to connect the dots between that surveillance and the 2016 "parliamentary coup". They contend he treated the impeachment as a purely internal Brazilian matter rather than a foreign-backed regime change effort.
Our country has diminished the impact of Dilma's impeachment, for it is true that the accusation could be legitimate to her mishandle on public accounting, it was through the influence of documented interests in foreign countries that much of the process went down. While what she has done was not "correct" in terms of public accounting, it was way smaller than the portray made to force her ousting.
The Brazilian left and the Brazilian right argue about the minimal minutia of politics, but one thing both agree is the Glenn deceptively frames judicial accountability as "censorship" to appeal to his audience in the U.S. and UK, even when those judicial actions are intended to protect Brazilian democracy from coup attempts.
And in general, Glenn amplifies things, exacerbate problems, and minimizes the conflicts that could arise from calling out his actual public, US and UK, from what he reportes internationally.
For all that, no matter how I dislike the USA administration, and the UK general government, past and present, I would not take Glenn word about anything.
