Speaking of monsters, you won’t believe (well, maybe you actually will) what Greenwald told the Chaos Club. This is in German, and the Google translation is terrible. If “Time Online” reported on this, I can’t find it yet.

spiegel.de

“During his appearance before thousands of hackers have the investigative journalist ” crossed a line ,” says “Time Online” , “He has made common with the present hackers with the activists and civil libertarians He sees himself as one of them. . ” Glenn Greenwald as a freedom fighter who does not separate between journalism and activism.

“Greenwald replied on Twitter: The classification is wrong, who distinguish between journalists and activists who defined standards can not meet themselves. Juliane Leopold of “Time Online” countered that journalists check facts and inform , but do not put it on a page and even take action.

“Real journalists are activists “

Here’s another report from Deutchse Welle where he demands asylum for Snowden in Europe or South America.

Journalist and Edward Snowden associate Glenn Greenwald has told a major annual gathering of computer activists in Hamburg to continue fighting for online privacy, saying he did not expect meaningful political reforms.

it’s a fact that pure non-involved reporting is impossible, as what you report on you also change (this can be considered an illustration of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal in action). But Glenn Greenwald is here going into the territory of Herbert Marcus and claiming ‘real journalists’ have to take action in favor of side inside of just reporting on an issue.

Hey Glenn, they tried out your ideas on this in the 60’s and it didn’t work out very well. Though William Ayers probably liked your speech, I think it was stupid and destructive.
