1. This is clear, courageous, and commonsensical. A great talk!

Thanks so much for posting this, zebonaut.
I hope everyone on DU gets to watch this.

[uhnope]

2. why self-promotion matters is more like it

5. Yes why should journalists be actual human beings?

Its all so egocentric. If they break a story or want to engage the public in such serious matters as privacy, there should be some automaton device that can relay that information to the world. That initial journalist should never of course ask for a wage or compensation for their work because, well, that would be greedy.



I had better add this because some on DU may think I am actually being serious and agree with me right uhnope?

3. It doesn't matter much on DU, apparently.

Sigh.

Or perhaps the Distractivist Brigade has succeeded in squelching all substantive discussion of privacy infringement on GG threads.

[uhnope]

6. or just legitimately sick of GG

8. Let me know when Greenwald comes clean about his partnership with Pierre Omidyar

And exactly how much he's profiting off of this whole business venture of his of being the Gatekeeper to the Secrets (TM) .
