Double G Has To Regulate Once Again

I may not always agree with Glenn Greenwald, but the dude can shut people down when he kicks in the Indignation Overthruster.  Respect.



Here he dismantles CNN's Fran Townsend (and later, Jessica Yellin) over the issue of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks.  Professor Greenwald teaches some people badly in need of some basic lessons in journalistic integrity and the role of the adversarial press.

Best line:  "Good investigative journalists – maybe CNN doesn’t do it – but good investigative journalists work their sources all the time."

Regulators, mount up.

  1. Ah, I do love to see Glenzilla stomp evil monster ass. Eases the sting that he'll be back to stomping on my neighborhood before long.
