A year ago, Greenwald was a hero here. Now, everyone downvotes any mention of him because he reported a story across party lines. Truly pathetic. I fucking hate HN sometimes.
I'm kind of impressed at the mental gymnastics needed to make journalists wanting to hear what powerful people are talking about in a semi-public place into the stasi.
I haven't paid close attention, but I think he wouldn't have a complaint if these journalists had uncovered a conspiracy worthy of public attention and instead were basically tattling on people for using bad words when the bad words were just quoting e.g. reddit.
