Glenn Greenwald isn’t a reporter? I’m sure that’s news to him
- selectodude 8y agoIt very well may be news to him. He's a bit up his own ass.
- blhack 8y agoI wonder if the parent is being a pedant here, and meaning to say: "Glenn Greenwald is a journalist, not simply a reporter."
- severine 8y agoI think he's actually a lawyer, turned blogger/writer/editor/pundit. > He received a BA in Philosophy from George Washington University in 1990 and a JD from New York University School of Law in 1994. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Greenwald#Early_life_and_education https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Greenwald#Early_life_and...
- pvg 8y agoNo, I mean that what he does is advocacy. Paul Krugman and Tucker Carlson are also not reporters or journalists.
- mark212 8y agono, I wasn't being pedantic. I don't care enough about him to have any opinion either way, just that I'm pretty sure he defines himself as a journalist.
- pvg 8y agoHe's not. This is not a piece of reportage, it's an op-ed half-heartedly masquerading as such. We have regular 40123 comment threads dissecting the potential biases of actual reporting from the New York Times and other news outlets. This thing is almost completely overt, it seems silly and weird to ponder whether some subtle lean or scale-tipping can be gleaned in it.
