Greenwald’s speech had nothing to do with Ayers or Marcuse.

The fact is, Greenwald is by nobody’s description, except his own, a journalist.

An activist by definition is ideological. Journalism, or reporting, strives to be objective, even though sometimes it leave an impression that it is not. I’ll say it for the millionth time: Opinion and ideology is absolutely not journalism. It is opinion and ideology, even if it appears in a newspaper.

I agree with everything but your first sentence. Greenwald is encouraging people to go down a path into the fever swamp that was cut by Macus long ago and later trod by Ayers. Greenwald emulates those men in the kind of approach he advocates.
