Glenn Greenwald unleashed a bit of vitriol over the weekend, taking out his knives for his former friend, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow.
“I used to be really good friends with Rachel Maddow,” he told New York Magazine in an interview published Sunday. “And I’ve seen her devolution from this really interesting, really smart, independent thinker into this utterly scripted, intellectually dishonest, partisan hack.”
Greenwald snagged a Pulitzer Prize in 2013 for his work with NSA leaker Edward Snowden and later founded his own company, First Look Media, with the help of billionaire Pierre Omidyar.
A spokesperson for MSNBC did not immediately respond to a request for comment from TheWrap.
