Glenn Greenwald: U.S. manufactured militant threat as pretext to bomb Syria

70. My whole career was in journalism — 30 plus years

And I know that by omitting information you can slant a story to lead readers to draw erroneous conclusions.

The misplaced snark of your post doesn't work here btw, unless you yourself think leaving out that the two terrorists associated with Khorasan had 7 million dollar bounties on their heads from years back wasn't pertinent information in a story that claims a threat was made up so that bombing could be carried out?

And I'm NOT IN FAVOR OF THE BOMBING — but I still say Greenwald should get the COMPLETE story right and not leave out stuff just so he can get across his anti-Obama agenda. The man is a known Obama-hater.

God! I repeat, that's not that hard to understand. Anyone with any journalism background would know that, but Greenwald, formerly a civil rights attorney representing pro bono white supremacist Matthew F. Hale (how do you do that for free and think like that then later re-create yourself as a crusading liberal journalist — guess he got a conscience all of a sudden) left it out of his story.

You think he left it out purposely? I sure do

The right wing slant here on DU is getting ridiculous — we're aligning with Politico now with snark accompanying it.

God help us!
