1. Eons ago, he was a halfway decent journalist, read and touted all over DU...

That was 2003. Clearly, there's something weird about such a 180. Kompromat?

4. There are numerous Western journalists who went that way.

Ed Schultz and Robert Parry, just as examples.

Both were heavy Kremlin apologists by the end of their respective lives.

6. Exactly. Why would they do so?

7. My suspicion is that they crossed the wrong Kremlin official at some point.

And they decided to shill as opposed to suffer some sort of grave embarrassment.

Just a hunch.

8. Mine too.

2. He has a fellow member of the Vlad fan club

Counts for more than friendship

3. I think the first word of your title needs correction

Seems to be obvious that he is first and foremost a friend of Russia.

5. If mr greenwald were an honest broker, he would admit that Cohen could not speak of such things.

9. @#$% Glenn Greenwald. n/t

[forklift]

10. +++++++++

Greenwald is a suspicious character indeed

12. Basically he was criticized by the media for stuff he said

...and now he's going to spend the rest of his days trying to "get back" at said media.

Which, of course, makes him a childish idiot.

13. For a journalist he plays fast and loose with the facts.

Cohen didn't say "never heard any attempts to conspire with Russia over the election". He said he had no direct evidence of a conspiracy. Direct evidence would be him in the room, or a video of Donny conspiring with a Russian agent.
