As did I.

Journalists are supposed to be critical thinkers, but the herd mentality is driving this to real bad places. And Greenwald’s going to milk this for as much as possible, and he’s taken the PT Barnum method of journalism. Suckers born every minute. There’s just enough fact in Greenwald’s reporting to be interesting or newsy, but it’s so laden with opinion and innuendo that the facts get lost. It’s all about the narrative.

Greenwald also takes on the classic personality of a bully/troll whenever anyone dares question his reporting, interpretation, or even recitation of facts about the Snowden docs.
