![FOX News Rules! Liberal News Crews Drool [diversecity 15935.2758]](https://media.makeameme.org/created/msnbc-host-accused.png)
Journalist Glenn Greenwald has criticized MSNBC host Joy Reid for what he calls 'conspiratorial derangement' after she claimed a senator was a Russian agent.
The journalist, part of a team that won a Pulitzer for reports about government surveillance programs based on leaks by Edward Snowden, slammed Reid on Friday for stating that Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin, was acting on behalf of Russia.
Reid was mocking the senator who has come under fire himself for questioning accounts of what what occurred on January 6 at the Capitol, but Greenwald did not find Reid's description amusing.
'This – 'Ron Johnson, Senator from Wisconsin, by way of Moscow' -- is as bats*** crazy and as much conspiratorial derangement as anything from QAnon, and far more damaging since it's mainstream, but because it's on a corporate outlet, it doesn't count,' Greenwald tweeted on Friday morning.
'If you're a liberal media figure, it's a lot easier and less challenging to mock some random, obscure Q-Anon internet troll than a popular liberal host on a major cable outlet for conspiracy derangement, so that's the choice they make even though this is far more impactful,' Greenwald continued later.
