I suspect if Bush were president when Greenwald (and Snowden) did what they did, many of the same people who are beating up on them so incessantly would be just as incessant in their praise of them.

Grenwald was off the mark on this observation about Fox and MSNBC. Big deal. His praise of Kelly's softball "hard questions" to Cheney is being echoed by many here.
