In reply to the discussion: Glenn Greenwald Takes An Axe To Michael Kinsley's Review Of His Book [View all]ProSense
(116,464 posts)4. Apparently,
"Do I need to continue to participate in the debate over whether many U.S. journalists are pitifully obeisant to the U.S. government? Did they not just resolve that debate for me?" Greenwald wrote. "What better evidence can that argument find than multiple influential American journalists standing up and cheering while a fellow journalist is given space in The New York Times to argue that those who publish information against the governments wishes are not only acting immorally but criminally?"
...he does. From the piece posted here (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024986606)
NBC News has a collaborative agreement with First Look Media, the online outlet founded by billionaire Pierre Omidyar and where Greenwald currently works.
An unnamed source at NBC told Wemple that Greenwald didn't negotiate the terms of the interview, but the source acknowledged that the Pulitzer Prize winner is one of only a few people who can facilitate communication with Snowden.

He didn't like Tim Russert (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024943174), but apparently gives an exclusive to Brian Williams.
He doesn't like Bond, but Sony's Bond producers are cool for quick buck.

OP
Kinsley went off the rails a long time ago--regardless of how one feels about Greenwald
