(62,325 posts)'It's obvious Greenwald wants to be right'. That has always been obvious about Greenwald which is why has risen from being just a blogger to a major force in journalism. Do you realize what you just said? That a journalist should not care about being right? They don't, see the attacks on the messengers, so you don't have to worry at all. Our media is among the least credible in the free world.
Thank the Gods someone in journalism cares about being right before writing material for public consumption. Now if only we could get a few more who care about the facts they put out there.
And, for the record, Greenwald has been wrong at times. What gained him so much credibility is that he always corrected mistakes in his reporting. Fine with me that a journalist wants to be right. Wish we had more of them.
