Glenn Greenwald is a liberal, but as a journalist he is one of the few honest ones. He has recently been calling out sources like CNN and MSNBC for pushing conspiracy theories on the American people.
He went into this at length on the Tucker Carlson show this week.
Real Clear Politics has details:
Glenn Greenwald: “Donald Trump Broke The Brains Of A Lot Of People”
“This is one of the problems that I think let the media just to go so far off the rails is that, especially those two cable networks, but also even newspapers, pretty much prohibited dissent from ever being heard so they constantly fed each other these conspiracy theories and told each other they were on the right track they advanced it further.
And never really had to confront anybody who questioned or challenged them in any way,” Greenwald said on Thursday’s broadcast of ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight.’
“If you listen to the media discourse, outside of a few circles, they’ve just put collusion and conspiracy and all of those conspiracy theories they’ve spent the last three years endorsing, just flushed it down the toilet like they don’t event exist and just seamlessly shifted to obstruction.
And then they’re conflating them to claim essentially that they were right all along. And that is really the alarming thing,” Greenwald said of the lack of contrition from the media.
“I think that in a lot of ways Donald Trump broke the brains of a lot of people, particularly people in the media who believe that telling lies, inventing conspiracy theories, being journalistically reckless, it’s all justified to stop this unparalleled menace,” he said. “And that’s a good thing for an activist to think and a really bad thing for a journalist to think.”

Greenwald has been talking about this frequently on Twitter:
I'm almost feeling sorry for the CNN panel. They are really hurt and are not even hiding it. Just live up to what you've done.

CNN has spent two years leading everyone to believe that multiple members of the Trump WH and family would be arrested and charged for colluding with Russia, and are now furious that Barr said too many times this morning that Mueller found to evidence for it.

The Mueller Report undoubtedly contains information revealing how the US spies on Russia.
If Barr released it all unredacted, they'd accuse him of treason & helping Russia.
With redactions, they'll claim the proof they were right all along is hidden under the black boxes.

Greenwald deserves a lot of credit for his honesty.
