One of GG’s acolytes has also tweeted another self-serving interview of GG in The Hindu, published as “opinion”:
Long interview w/ @ggreenwald in @The_Hindu about #Snowden & the “series of articles” GG is doing w/the Indian paper http://t.co/p3uBYRzeE9— Peter Kofod (@peterkofod) September 24, 2013
In it, GG admits this:
“There have been attempts in the U.S. to criminalise journalism, as happened in the case of Fox News and AP? Doesn’t this bother you?
“They are already succeeding in creating a climate of fear against whistleblowers and sources. That’s why some federal lawyers have told me that, at least for now, I shouldn’t go back to the U.S. and I should not try to enter the country. It’s pretty extraordinary for American lawyers to tell an American journalist that you should not try to re-enter your own country for fear that they may try and arrest you. ” (my emphasis)
And the reporter himself didn’t even have to leave India: “Shobhan Saxena is a Sao Paulo-based Indian journalist. He is the first Indian journalist in entire South America, writing on politics, trade and football.”
The Hindu has been described as a left leaning, family owned newspaper. en.wikipedia.org
