In reply to the discussion: Rachel Maddow: "Journalism is NOT terrorism." She is supporting Greenwald. "It's an outrage." [View all]La Lioness Priyanka
(53,866 posts)80. so is comprehension. i used an analogy to explain what rachel said
however, clearly you have your own crazy agenda that i do not need to indulge further.
she said "journalism is not terrorism" not "journalists can never be terrorists". implying greenwalds partner was detained on the basis of his journalistic work, not on the basis of genuinely being a terrorist.
comprehension is key!!!
