Glenn Greenwald’s “direct access” Powerpoint slides may have meant nothing more than these special locked mailboxes. But Greenwald engineered a giant anti-Obama freakout based on the false claim that the NSA had direct access to everything these tech companies had on their servers.

This really is a massive fail. I wonder if any of the Sunday shows who’ve invited Greenwald on will ask him about the fact that his entire “scoop” has collapsed to nothing?
