I'm getting really sick of the whole "Comrade Eddie" BS from some

360. Kos is an ex-Republican with a corporate POV. He was hoping to parlay his "net cred"

into a talking head career. It did not work because the camera does not love him.

Don't expect a full throated "defense of Kos" from me. I don't particularly care for his site--it's too hard to navigate and user unfriendly, and some of those "diaries" are pedantic.

Darn the bad luck for you!

One more time--it's an INCONVENIENT truth, it's obviously very upsetting to you, because you keep pushing back against it.

Obama isn't Greenwald, or Snowden. We aren't talking about HIM, either--never mind Kos (odd, the comparisons you make, as if they matter). Bush appointed Democrats, too. So what? It's what Presidents do -- pay attention down the years, it is a common tradition.

Gasp.

Glenn Greenwald was supported by Koch money for well over a year. That's the bottom line. He repaid the Koch generosity by repeatedly associating himself with CATO. Inconvenient, indeed, to those who want to see him as someone who is pure of heart, and an idealist...but true.


Now, he's alligned himself with a guy who is diametrically opposed to Putin's worldview vis a vis Ukraine--and since he left GUARDIAN, he's got to play ball to get that paycheck...which either makes life difficult for Snowden, or makes life simpler for him, depending on perspective.

I get the sense that Snowden isn't answering Glenn's calls much anymore.
