It's ABSURD to suggest that the Greenwald is "partisan" while the MSM is unbiased. The real "party" in this nation is the Corporate Party, and the MSM as it now exists is shamelessly corporate-biased.
I watched an interview with Greenwald on Democracy Now, talking about the new venture. It aims to create a robust, well-funded journalistic enterprise that takes seriously its job of reporting the facts and reviving the critical role of journalism as a watchdog and check on government abuse of power. It was a good show, with significant attention paid to the revelations of abuse of the NSA for corporate spying rather than the stated purpose of preventing terrorism.
We desperately need a revival of real investigative journalism before the corporatists who have purchased our government *and* our media eat us alive.
