Do you not see that as implicitly representing a certain agenda? As a long-time reader of Greenwald's, I recognize a heavy anti-status quo bias inherent in his writing and his editorial choices. Just because you agree with him, doesn't mean he isn't biased.
- stfu 13y agoFrom my perspective "biased" is in American media pretty much defined on how well somebody can put you into the left or right corner. As long as you can somewhat convincingly argue that you are in the middle you are welcome guest outside of the "poisoned" circles.
- freshhawk 13y agoA bias/agenda towards attacking powerful people or the status quo would most reasonably be called "journalism" wouldn't it? That's it's function, at least in the context where you use terms like the "fourth estate". That's the bias you want in journalism in order to attempt to inform the public. Not that I don't think Greenwald doesn't have biases, he does, but this particular one isn't a bias to complain about, it's what makes an investigative journalist. I'm also a long-time reader of his.
