Along with NBC's David Gregory and Chuck Todd, you can now add CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin to the list of journalists (and NBC journalists) floating the idea that one of their own, The Guardian's Glenn Greenwald, has done something illegal in reference to his work with NSA leaker Edward Snowden:

My personal suggestion to Gregory, Todd, and Sorkin is that before they throw these kinds of baseless accusations around, they might want to clean up their own backyard. With their selectively edited videos and audio, NBC News is currently a hotbed of journalistic malpractice unlike anything I have ever seen before.
Greenwald responded to Sorkin and Gregory via the Washington Post's Erik Wemple:
I’ve purposely made myself an outsider by very aggressively and harshly criticizing not just the culture itself but the most prominent members of it, including David Gregory and Andrew Ross Sorkin, who this morning suggested on CNBC that I be arrested.*Some of what is driving this hostility from some media figures is personal bitterness. Some of it is resentment over my having been able to break these big stories not despite, but because of, my deliberate breaching of the conventions that rule their world.
But most of it is what I have long criticized them for most: they are far more servants to political power than adversarial watchdogs over it, and what provokes their rage most is not corruption on the part of those in power (they don’t care about that) but rather those who expose that corruption, especially when the ones bringing transparency are outside of, even hostile to, their incestuous media circles.

Like being “a little bit pregnant”.
dear world: these morons do not speak for us, honest.
MSM: “You make Obama look bad, we’ll make you look bad.”
Battered Spouse Syndrome. No matter what he does to you, ‘I can make him change’.
bttt
We all knew NBC was state run media. What little mask there was has come off.
No one is surprised.
History never looks back fondly on any nation’s propagandists or brownshirts. People have a natural disdain for the tools of tyranny.
