    About time

    The phenomenon you so eloquently describe, Mr. Greenwald, is one that really began to bother me during the Clinton impeachment. 76% of the country wanted the impeachment nonsense to stop, but all the media moguls spoke as though the people were outraged at Clinton and demanding his head. It was the first time I realized what a bizarre disconnect the media was presenting us, and you're the first writer I've seen explain it in detail. Thanks.
