Any room for Moyers, Maddow, Moore under the bus?
Glenn Greenwald, a former Constitutional and civil rights litigator, is now --was--a columnist at The Guardian, where he writes about civil liberties, national security and US political and media culture. He is the author of three New York Times Bestselling books: two on the Bush administration's executive power and foreign policy abuses, and his 2011 book, With Liberty and Justice for Some, an indictment of America's two-tiered system of justice.
Greenwald was named by The Atlantic as one of the 25 most influential political commentators in the nation, and by Newsweek as one of the nation's top 10 opinion writers. He is the recipient of the first annual I.F. Stone Award for Independent Journalism, and is the winner of the 2010 Online Journalism Association Award for his investigative work on the arrest and oppressive detention of Bradley Manning. He was a finalist for the 2011 National Magazine Awards for online political writing.
MSNBC's Rachel Maddow called Greenwald "the American Left’s most fearless political commentator". Filmmaker Michael Moore said: "The first thing I do when I turn on the computer in the morning is go to Glenn Greenwald’s blog to see what he said. He is truly one of our greatest writers right now." And Bill Moyers described him as "the most important voice to have entered the political discourse in years."

He's one of them radical lefties ya know. 
What saddens me however about the commentary about Snowden and Greenwald are the purists who will slam them for having a non-pure belief 5, 10 or so years ago and so that automatically disqualifies them to comment on anything else (and especially stuff the BOG finds objectionable).
We used to be able to view the nuances of people and their positions.
No more.
Now its everyone must think like us or they're smeared with shifty labels like Obama hater or attention whore etc.
This place has gotten pretty sucky when there's even any sad snark in an OP about some damn fine progressives like these three.
that doesn't match the "ideologically pure" so they are literally dead to them (run over by the group "bus"
.
Maddow, Moyers and Moore have expressed their admiration for Greenwald so now the small but VERY vocal BOG (members of the Barack Obama Group), must hate these three liberal icons because they've transgressed by admiring a person who is presently one of their ideological "enemies".
Hope that makes sense.
Someone else will probably come along and explain it better.
