Glenn Greenwald slays the MSM on Democracy Now! Today! A must hear!!!!
Great American Hypocrites: Glenn Greenwald on the Corporate Media’s Failures in the 2008 Race

ABC News is coming under intense criticism for its handling of Wednesday night’s Democratic debate in Pennsylvania. During the first forty-five minutes of the debate, the moderators Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos focused on Obama’s comments that some voters in Pennsylvania were bitter, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright controversy, Clinton’s Bosnia “sniper fire” story, flag pins and the Weather Underground. We speak with Glenn Greenwald, author of “Great American Hypocrites: Toppling the Big Myths of Republican Politics.”

4. I respect Glenn so much.
He spoke out against the attacks on Clinton, too. He's principled that way.

7. That was great, thanks for posting...
...I especially liked what he said about the fact that Obama was apparently being attacked more in this debate than Clinton was -- he said that Clinton was harshly attacked before, but now that it looks like Obama is the likely nominee, they've set their sites on him.

Makes sense to me.
