Internet anti-Greenwald agitators are playing some folks for Fools

49. Snowden has been convicted already?? That was fast!

A 'damning fact'. How is a journalist working with a source a 'damning fact'?? I can't believe some of the anti-Constitutional stuff I am reading on this site. Have you ever heard of the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution? Name one journalist working with a source who has ever been convicted of a crime in this Democracy, FOR working with a source? The press has special protections in democracies and for very good reason.

I can say this with conviction, even the Corporate Shills we pretend are 'journalists' like David Gregory, would be horrified if that were to happen.

What you are describing is a totalitarian state where journalists who do their jobs are prosecuted and persecuted and smeared as traitors for doing so.

If there is one thing even Bush was afraid to do, it was to even suggest the prosecution of the man who published the leaks that could have toppled his administration. He DID threaten him however with the now infamous statement 'if there is another terror attack, you will have blood on your hands'.

You should think twice before ever calling for the prosecution of a journalist, especially on this Democratic site. Even the Bush supporters, except for the most rabid of them, like Palin, refrained from going that far after the NYT published those leaks that led to the changing of the FISA law to try to protect Bush.
