Here are some lies you can tell about Glenn Greenwald.

[sabrina 1]

173. Is he still around? Not that anyone probably knows him.

His opinion is worth as much as anyone's on the internet, I imagine most DUers here who write OPs are better known than he is.

Here's who I respect as a journalist:

Jeremy Scahill who has spoken out eloquently regarding his respect for Greenwald as a journalist.

The Guardian who employed him because of his growing popularity based on his consistent blog posts standing up for Civil Liberties.

Juan Cole, Matt Taibbi, in fact just about everyone who is not part of the fake Corporate media.

Greenwald has always been an indendent journalist. He had no Corporation like Murdoch or CNN backing him. That fact that without advertising or a TV presence he attracted a huge audience, bigger than say, Erin (Goldman Sachs) Brown speaks volumes about his credentials. It is his work that attracted the readership and got him a job at the Guardian.

When your enemies are people like Cheney, Fleischer, King, Boehner, Palin et al, you are a real journalist.
