Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald, who broke the recent stories about massive NSA spying, isnt taking kindly to a number of liberal media types who appear suddenly and oddly sympathetic to our collective lack of privacy.
Greenwald told Business Insider that the likes of Time magazines Joe Klein and The New Yorkers Jeffrey Toobin, among others, have become NSA apologists for principle-free, hackish, and opportunistic reasons.
(VIDEO-AT-LINK)
Im not surprised, Greenwald said in an email to Business Insider. Ive been amazed and disappointed for a long time at how the most slavishly partisan media Democrats who pretended to care so much about these issues when doing so helped undermine George Bush are now the loudest apologists and cheerleaders for these very same policies.
If they started a club called Liberal Pundits to Defend the National Security State, no auditorium in the country would be large enough to accommodate them.
To call them principle-free, hackish, and opportunistic is to be overly generous.(continued)

Greenwald B-slapped Bubbles (AKA Mika somethingski) on Morning Joe the other day and her panties are still in a wad.
If she wasn’t the spawn of some CFR bigshot she’d be lucky to have a gig hostessing at Applebees.

Could it be a “enemy of my enemy” thing? Øbozo has been pretty disrespectful of all things British.

The liberals in the media who are his so-called friends are not going to turn on Obama. Greenwall got a awakening that most of the US media are not even a true liberal. This story may go different directions but it sure is bringing out the false loyalty to the oath of their office from many elected officials. Have you heard any one of them to be angry that we are being spied on without protections by law; granted to us under the constitution. You continue to hear, it's all safe, good and spying is done with integrity. The people on the Five on Fox seems very pissed off that some are upset that the leaker has told us that we are being spied on. That is crazy. The rule of law is upside down. Obama and his protectors thinks it's ok to have a search without a warrant/the accuser has no protection. NJ, now taking cell phones as evidence. What's next. Most of the people on TV protect the state first, not liberty.

Just ask the NSA to obtain the scripts that His Arrogance sent by email to his private list of MSM whores .... they’re only following the script .... they’re “news readers” not journalists.
