Really? By identifying Greenwald as an activist and a "blogger" (which is shorthand for "amateur") and not identifying him as a journalist, Reuters most definitely is making a tacit statement of his role in society, whether that makes you uncomfortable or not. By identifying his role using words that indicate amateur status, they are supporting the government's desired point of view. I honestly can't tell if you're just naive or if you disagree with me politically, but if it's naivete I encourage you to start thinking about these issues.
