A 30 second clip from fox news really isn't HN material.

  even if Glenn Greenwald is doing the talking? He broke the story on Edward Snowden, he even got the Pulitzer price for that.

    Yes. And correctly. Find any other packaging of Greenwald's important message. Surely Greenwald did not choose to release an important message only through Fox or Carlson. Greenwald is on Fox to speak to people who would otherwise never hear a message from anyone like Greenwald. Not so that a reasonable person can conclude that Fox is as valid a source of info as any other.

    To be fair, Snowden reached out to Greenwald according to the documentary. That said, Greenwald's reporting on it was excellent. What I found disappointing, is that Greenwald published the story without making sure Snowden had a place to land outside the reach of US jurisdiction -- regardless of any decision made between the two. Breaking the story is one thing, but doing the right thing for your source is another -- even if it means not being able to break the story first.
