In reply to the discussion: David Gregory V Glenn Greenwald - Who is the journalist? A trip down memory lane ... [View all]sabrina 1

journalist, Gregory is a tool of the Corporate Media. It didn't work out so well when he attempted to discredit Greenwald which he learned from the huge backlash he received.
What would you ask Greenwald if you had a chance to interview btw?
And you CAN go to his blog, or go to one of the talks he gives where you can ask him anything you want. He doesn't hide from the public, doesn't have any reason to as he can and has always been able to back up his work, unlike most in the Corporate Media.

Greenwald is an excellent journalist, Gregory is an insult to journalism. That's my vote.
