5. How about an explanation or a link? I see that there are threads that are debating
an article Greenwald wrote about the Wisconsin professor but there aren't any explanations for what the specific contention is.

Does anyone know????

6. I would like to see him get his own show on RT or AJE.
He's fantastic, a very sharp thinker.

Maybe all of this publicity will help.

Shame on you, LoZoccollo, for posting such a cryptic OP & abandoning the courtesy of an explanation.

10. I think that CNN should be considered an unreliable source.
So should the New York Times and nearly every other mainstream news source in the US. They reported utter falsehoods, streams and streams of uncorroborated stories about WMDs and Al Qaeda in Iraq and never checked their sources.

Glenn Greenwald must be judged in relation to the rest of the media. One mistake does not make a liar especially since he trusted as his source an e-mail that he believed was from the person most implicated in his story.

There is a vendetta against Greenwald by the people who object to his stance on Wikileaks.

We know that they hired public relations experts and others to try to ruin Greenwald's reputation. It should not surprise us when we get a bunch of negative posts by supposed DUers who are trying to ruin Greenwald's reputation.

The monitors should watch the future posts of those posting these nasty posts about Greenwald. There are too many of them. They are posted to frequently.

Greenwald is a very reliable source compared to the MSM.
