To be honest I really don't care for Huffpo but it is convenient for referencing and linking to. Many of it's headlines are actually links from other sources, and it does a better job than most at hyper-linking to fact sources within the article.

Greenwald doesn't pretend to be anything. He writes both op-pieces and investigative journalism pieces and his investigative journalism pieces are among the most well sourced and thorough to be found anywhere. Of course his op pieces are left leaning, but again well supported with facts. Don't make me bring out the tired old meme that the truth has a liberal bias... :coffee: :mrgreen:

I've only read a few Strassel articles but that was enough. Equating Breitbart and Strassel to the other two is sad. :ohno:
Greenwald is "left-leaning".
Yeah, and that tower in Pisa is only slightly askew. :rofl:

Might as well add all that truth coming out of the White House has that good 'ol liberal bias as well.
Oops, I forgot, Obama is a right of center corporatist. :lol: :dunce:

I've read a few of Greenwald's pieces as well, and to call that "investigative journalism" is, well, a slap in the face to real investigative journalists. :tothehand:

BTW, I'm not trying to equate Breitbart with HuffPoop or Strassel with Greenwald. Breitbart is entertaining while Huffy is a joke. Strassel seems to have a pretty regular reliable gig with the WSJ while Greenwald is burning bridges at media outlets all over the world. You're actually right, comparing them is sad.
Ummm...Greenwald primarily reports on civil liberties, the surveillance state, and foreign policy (where he pretty much shares the same views as the Pauls and Pat Buchannon). I could be mistaken, but defending civil liberties and exposing government over-reach might also be things favored by those on the right. :dunce:

The fact he has burned bridges with establishment media is a feather in his cap. There are very few independent journalist left…that's part of the problem. The only people who don't recognize his journalistic chops are media types who've cozied up to power and feel access is more important than truth…and those who follow said media types. :dunce: :nod: :kisswink:

I'd love for you to say that to someone who's lived under an actual tyrant. Please report back with their reaction.

How about all the ex-Cuban's who are up in arms down in Miami? Would they be good ones to talk to?

Not being associated with losers like SUU is more of a positive for Harry than it is for the school.. :lol:
