    The other thing is that paid propagandists like Greenwald flat out lie

    Last week he asserted the the MSM 'hides' the truth. Really? I guess they don't have TV down in Brazil. Because yesterday BOTH CNN and MSNBC were open mikes for al Jazeera and al Hayat. They both offered the floor unchallenged and unquestioned to reps from both organizations who went on to screech and soapbox for long stretches of time. In the studio, in English. If that's hiding the truth then Greenwald really is the Nazi he pretends not to be. What else does he want? al Manar Hezbollah channel to get 24/7 airtime? Maybe he can invite Nick Griffin of the BNP to swoop in do his best Oswald Mosley impression?
