Now you're just trolling with your defense of Greenwald and Aslan.

Please tell me you are just trolling.

I have never seen a well-read, well-reasoned, intelligent person effectively defend Greenwald's and Aslan's behavior towards Harris.

Aslan: two religion degrees, a degree in fiction (creative writing?), and a sociology degree. Hold on. Imma fire up my color printer, and get me some social sciences Phd's too.

Greenwald isn't a "trusted journalist". He's a hack. He was a hack then. He is a hack now. The Intercept isn't some kind of respected news organization. It's viewed as overtly agenda driven, and is nothing more than a super-blog funded by Pierre Omidyar. He is not taken seriously in the world of real journalists. Given his obvious lying and misrepresentation about Harris's statements (hmmm, where have we seen that before?), I would be highly cautious about siding with him. There are smart people in this thread, who can seen right through all of that nonsense.
