I'll allow this, but IMO once you get to 200k+ subscribers you should really consider launching an actual website. Ex-The Intercept and ex-HuffPost journalists should know better.

I do think we don't have a clear policy on opinion pieces and that's absolutely something we should work towards. Right now it's more of a case-by-case basis.

If you could point to some specific examples that would be great!

Now would be a good time to describe what specific issues you have with Greenwald's reporting on past issues and where he's been inconsistent with facts revealed after the fact.

His stint at The Guardian where he broke the Snowden leaks?

His work at The Intercept that revealed the corrupt dealings that led to Brazil's Lula losing the election and being imprisoned?

Or is it his appearances on US media, where he's on record for questioning the efficacy of Russian interference in the 2016 election (which IIRC is backed by a study in Nature Communications) and criticizing Israeli influence in US politics?

I'm not disagreeing with you, but you're not exactly providing much in the way of evidence outside of your own opinion.

This article is based on an investigation by Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-covid-propaganda/

If you are going to discredit a source, please try to discredit the claims made rather than the author.

This is a good point and we'll take it under consideration. Unfortunately, sometimes we do have to make a judgement call, but if there are any particular cases you'd like to discuss please mention them here.

Until reports are publicly released by the EPA or judicial proceedings continue, this is not a valid news source.
