The analysis here is flawed... In particular, Feffer writes: "But Greenwald is after something different. He is out to discredit all claims of Russia’s malign conduct. In a recent article, he made a list of all the “false” claims involving Russia ..."
Now is this true? Is GG out to discredit all claims of Russia's malign conduct?
The problem is that in the very same article of Greenwald's that Feffer links to, Greenwald states: "... disinformation campaigns are something the U.S., Russia, and countless other nations have done to one another for centuries, and there is convincing evidence that Russia does this sort of thing now. But evidence of one threat does not mean that all claimed threats are real, nor does it mean that that tactic is exclusively wielded by one side."

Or in another piece written earlier: "NONE OF THIS means that every Russia claim is false, nor does it disprove the accusation that Putin ordered the hacking of the DNC and John Podesta’s email inboxes (a claim for which, just by the way, still no evidence has been presented by the U.S. government)..." https://theintercept.com/2017/09/28/yet-another-major-russia-story-falls-apart-is-skepticism-permissible-yet/
Is Feffer actually reading the articles from which he makes specious claims?
