    Kudos to GG from Alterman

    Eric Alterman's column today humbly points/links to Glenn:

    I am unnecessary again today, and not because I'm lazy. It's because nothing I could write would justify you reading me instead of Glenn Greenwald.

    Just skim the below real quick -- OK, spend a little time with Boehlert -- and then get thee over to Salon and read all the way to the bottom, clicking on as many links for which you have the time and patience, including especially Jane Hamsher and Atrios. ... It's brilliant, brave, and tenacious reporting if you take your time and read all the way to the bottom, as far as I can discern. ... The evidence Glenn has amassed has many implications for the current state of affairs in American journalism and democracy, virtually all of them extremely, deeply disturbing. (And let's throw in this: Twenty rules of modern American journalism, here.)
