Greenwald: Approve or Disapprove?

42. There are a whole lot of assumptions in your comment. Eg, I've seen this phrase

so often now it has become meaningless to me. But maybe you can expand on it. What do you mean by 'He has his own personal agenda'?? What is that agenda, and do you know him personally to be able to speak with authority on something that is rather 'personal' to put it mildly.

I eg, do not know him personally but have been reading his work since he first began as a blogger around 2005. He quickly attracted attention both from the Left and the Right due to his fearless criticisms of the Bush administration and Republicans in general. He was fiercely attacked by the Right every day but never allowed that to deter him.

If you were to ask me what his 'agenda' is I would judge that by his work. It appears to me and this hasn't changed, that his main 'agenda' has always been issues of Civil Liberties, which as you must know where completely trashed during the Bush years.

I would not presume to claim to know anything about any personal agenda since I can judge him only by his work.

That work has been CONSISTENT. His focus always on Civil Liberties and the many threats to our Rights that we all used to agree on using 9/11 as an excuse to dismantle them.

I see no change in Greenwald since the Bush years. He is an effective writer so he elicits strong reactions from people who both care about the protection of our rights, and those who care more about power and money. Nothing has changed regarding HIS 'agenda'. So I am wondering what exactly his 'agenda' is in your opinion.
