I'm just an old guy who worked as a newspaper reporter and editor in the 60s and 70s.
But I can assure you that right wing and left wing reporters who did not leave their political beliefs at the door into the newsroom were soon demoted to the society or sports pages by management.
And those hard headed guys and gals who continued to expose their political views in the newsroom were often fired.

From my perspective he has always been a classical liberal with some progressive social positions. Now because he tells the truth he is labeled “far right” along with anyone else that dares tell the truth.
When parents who criticize local school boards are treated like the enemy, there is little wonder that free lance reporters like Glen and Matt are said to be wacky far right shills when they pen accurate reports about various important topics.

Any of us who where awake during civics classes in grade school and high school know we live in a constitutional republic.
Those who have not studied civics are prone to saying the U.S. is a democracy.
Often, however, the misuse of the word is deliberate.
Keep it up Glenn. Wikileaks is going to add another evil adjective to their current “far-right” description of you. Giv’em hell!!
