(15,435 posts)Greenwald might/may be over presenting himself (not sure), however DAVID GREGORY isn't my idea of a GREAT JOURNALIST!
Once upon a time, here in America there was something known as "the fourth estate" that actually did "investigate" news. Generally they used sources, more than one for the most part BEFORE they put out the information. IMO, we no longer HAVE a "fourth estate," we have media darlings!! THEY have underlings who contribute information and give it to any given host, who then waits for the camera to roll at which time said host can ask questions in any way he/she chooses. Maybe what "said" host feels will make he/she look serious, important, knowledgeable or present themselves good enough to keep their job.
I'm not giving my opinion on Snowden or Greenwald at this point in time. I've heard it said that Greenwald may be a person who has an inflated ego, but if what he's saying is the truth, so what. But I don't know the whole truth.
I AM more worried about people like Michael Hastings, who I REALLY respect and I DO wonder what really happened to him. I would LOVE to think it was ONLY a freak accident, but somewhere in my gut or in the back of my mind, I'm not so sure.
But, DAVID GREGORY does nothing for me! Seems like the right hand man of John McCain/Lindsey Graham. Who knows?
JMHO!
