(62,325 posts)DOES have to worry about the wealthy, powerful corrupt individuals he exposes. He has already been targeted by them as we learned from Anonymous' leaks from that so-called Private Security Corp. Scary to think they actually get paid to smear people like Greenwald, who was a blogger at the time.
'Narcissistic'. That HAS to be one of the talking points they included in the smear campaign they were bidding for a contract on. It can't be a coincidence that it has appeared several times in this thread alone, and always appears whenever Greenwald is mentioned.
All public figures are narcissists by that standard. So save the insults, especially ones that appear to be from some think tank. They are meaningless.
He's a Pulitizer Prize winner, so I think he's well known to people who matter, who want to know the facts rather than turn a blind eye.
And if only they had left him alone, not tried to smear him, he'd probably still be just a blogger. That outraged people when they learned about it, even some who were not overly fond him. Because Powerful People being willing to pay a Security Contractor to try to dig up dirt on bloggers, SHOULD scare people.
