The "antiwar left" takes over America

Glenn Greenwald's blog, Unclaimed Territory, has moved to Salon.com. He still has a free hand and is better than ever.

From his post on Saturday:

The laziness of reporters and their insatiable quest to curry favor with government officials continuously causes them to uncritically pass on false information, to protect the officials over whom they are supposed to be exercising scrutiny by granting them anonymity to disseminate government propaganda, and to perpetuate myths which their inside-government sources want to maintain. The complaint about journalists is about inaccuracy, gullibility and sloth, not a lack of partisan vigor. This New York Times article illustrates the fundamental deficiency in our nation's press -- as well as a principal element of media criticism -- quite vividly.


Show Glenn some love and visit Salon to read the whole thing. You have to sit thru a 30 second ad to get to his blog but it is well worth it.
