  Of Couse, It's Glen

  You only need to look at the headline to know the byline. Glenn "Everything's a Conspiracy" Greenwald still doesn't know how the world works. Even as we ask Republican's to look at how conservatism has failed, some liberals (their self-deceit can be summed up in one word - "progressive") still can't undertand that their ideology failed a long time ago. This General BM story is a non-story. The retired general with numerous ties to the military-industrial complex happens to be entertaining. END OF STORY. Aren't there real crimes to report on, conficts of interest that matter. Just because the NYT considers this a story does not mean it really is. NBC is competitor to the NYT, and that paper still hasn't admitted their own culpability in the Iraq War. Anyone who still believes that TV "journalism" is, or should be, anything more than a way to sell advertising is stuck in a past that never really existed in the first place. It cost lots of money to make TV news, and that cost needs to ensure big rewards or the effort just isn't worth it. It is silly to expect a private sector industry to behave like a government accounting office. Grow up.
