Glenn Greenwald takes a stroll down memory lane with reminders about media's love affair with Michael Avenatti

This afternoon Michael Avenatti was convicted for stealing money from Stormy Daniels and faces up to 22 years in prison.

Remember all the media fawning over Avenatti when Trump was in office? The media adoration has aged incredibly poorly, but Glenn Greenwald has helped remind everybody just how gross it got:

And they were addicted:

2019: "Avenatti had 254 cable appearances last year, including 147 on MSNBC and CNN alone in a 10-week period. Bookers fell so madly in love they nearly propelled him into the presidential race, during a time when he was allegedly bilking $1.6 million from a paraplegic." pic.twitter.com/4b2SNLRmtq
