Whether you agree with that philosophy or not, it's supposed to apply to the Democratic party, not the press, which is in theory supposed to be independent. Obviously that's a fantasy at this point.
I don't know why this is surprising though. Eliminating Trump as president is one of many goals the achievement of which has been deemed more important than adhering to long-standing lilberal principles. At least this one actually
is achievable, if all goes well. And it's not like the other side has been adhering to any sort of norms in their pursuit of the white house, either.
So yeah, Greenwald is right, although he's a myopic hypocrite.
