Greenwald Takes a Swipe at MSNBC: I Defend Snowden Like You Defend Obama '24 Hours a Day'
Breitbart ^ | 12/26/13 | Staff

Posted on 12/26/2013 1:07:07 PM PST by Nachum

Journalist Glenn Greenwald was asked by MSNBC's Kristen Welker if he was acting as a spokesman for so-called whistle-blower Edward Snowden:

"I think that's ludicrous is what I say to that,” Greenwald said. "Every journalist has an agenda. We're on MSNBC now, where close to 24 hours a day the agenda of President Obama and the Democratic Party are promoted, defended, glorified, the agenda of the Republican Party is undermined. That doesn't mean the people who appear on MSNBC aren't journalists, they are."

Reporterette got a bit defensive about her network. Perhaps if they reported the other side people would take them seriously.

MWahahaha... I don’t think she expected that line of response. I disagree with him that what they do is journalism.

The world is turned upside down when supposed liberals don’t defend a whistle blower.

Greenwald told the truth there and I think he’s as frustrated as anyone out there who sees political machines of the major parties controlling media like the GOPe at Fox News and the DNC at MSNBC.

Its an emotional show in that universe to divert us from the real policies like the “budget deals” that keep coming out from the two big parties in Washington.

The R’s and D’s move us down the pike deeper into debt, spending money we don’t have.

Of course the two big parties did their part to create the NSA mess over the years, too.

In their mind, the other side doesn't exist. Or, if it does, it is some fringe Jim Jones type group versus the Democrat party.

That whistleblower has the good on Obastard and they are doing everything they can to keep it from coming out.

Kick out the journalists and bring in reporters. Report the news as it is, not as you want it to be.
