Washington Post Makes Bizarre, Factually Incorrect Claims About Glenn Greenwald, Can‘t Figure Out How To Update

The latest example is Walter Pincus, the octogenarian and long-term Washington Post „national security“ reporter, who wrote a bizarre column „asking questions“ of Ed Snowden, and by association, of Glenn Greenwald, filmmaker Laura Poitras (who has assisted both the Guardian and the Washington Post with the Snowden story) and Julian Assange. Pincus makes a bunch of „connections“ that he finds concerning about the Snowden ordeal, suggesting strongly that the whole thing was somehow orchestrated in secret by Julian Assange.
