It’s the lamest Jedi Mind Trick ever, and is being pushed on people who know Star Wars is just a movie.

Asked for his opinion of Breitbart News, acclaimed journalist Glenn Greenwald praised the news site’s editorial integrity and said the site was “very impressive in terms of the impact they’ve been able to have.
