Glenn Greenwald said the Massachusetts Air National Guardsman that allegedly published top-secret Pentagon documents is receiving the wrath of the media because he dared to deliver an "unauthorized leak." Greenwald on Friday told FOX News host Jesse Watters that the people who are speaking the loudest against the leaker are those who call themselves journalists that receive "authorized leaks" from the U.S. intelligence apparatus.

Greenwald said we should want to know about the contents of the leak but it gives the national security state a reason to clamp down harder and take away rights.

"Anybody whoever has picked up the 'New York Times,' 'The Washington Post' or has the misfortune of hearing MSNBC or CNN knows that corporate journalists, every single day, report classified information that has been leaked. They go on TV all the time and they say anonymous sources told us X, Y, and Z," Greenwald said.

I enjoy reading or listening to Greenwald's take on issues. He is one of the rare honest investigative reporters.

It is pretty rich that the young man could have given it to the MSM instead of his buddies and no problemo.

Criminal government never arrests its own soldiers in the leftist media.
