In reply to the discussion: Greenwald's Latest - He is counter punching to great effect! [View all]KoKo
(84,711 posts)Greenwald is not a financial writer so he's hoping that this will get more coverage and bring in the Bloomberg News writers (yeah, I know...Bloomberg) who can better write about the connections and do the charts and connect the dots. There are actually some good financial writers out there and even Matt Taibbi has done good work on exposing the Wall Street Banking frauds.
You make good points except when you blame Greenwald for not digging into areas where he doesn't have the financial expertise nor staff that's required to expose the connections ...connecting the dots. He is a constitutional lawyer. Different skills than what you are asking him to do.
Nice informative post by you, otherwise, and you have made some of the connections so hopefully others in media will begin to focus on who benefits from the massive Data Collection, Homeland Security, TSA, Pentagon, Lobbyists and the rest. And, the Pentagon bloat along the revolving door between Military, Wall Street, Media, Private Corporations and Congress. It's all connected and will take some great skill (and further scandal exposure) to make it understandable to the average American.
