Post proof of Glen Greenwald's scandalous lies here

[baldguy]

2. How many times do we have to repeat this?

Saying that the NSA program was operating without warrants:

Saying that PRISM had direct access to the servers for US service providers:

Repeating Snowden's claims that he could read The President's email & that the NSA is listening in on everyones phone calls:

Even the libertarian nutcases at Reason are criticizing him"

These are the simple facts:

-The NSA is not listening to all your phone calls & it is not reading all your emails.

-Having the metadata about phone calls and emails is not the same as the content & the identity of the sender and receiver.

-Snowden, as the employee of a private contractor, did not have the ability nor the authority to tap anyone's phone. He was not able to listen in on the President's phone calls.

-The programs Snowden exposed are not unconstitutional or illegal.

These are Snowden's central allegations. None of them are true. The President has repeatedly said that they are not true. Members of the House & Senate Intelligence Committees have repeatedly said that they are not true. Most knowledgeable legal experts are saying that they are not true. The text of the warrant Snowden provided to Greenwald proves that they are not true. It covers only anonymous metadata, which isn't linked to any particular individual without a further warrant.

Greenwald didn't feel it was necessary to try to verify any these allegations, and just printed them as-is. And now, with Snowden's story falling apart, Greenwald refuses to print a retraction or make any corrections for these lies.

It's beyond belief that this guy still has supporters on DU.
