Journalism is a discipline which can be learned or experienced. Greenwald has done neither, and I agree with what you said. He is a polemicist by nature, and his training as a debater (just an extension of his lawyering/advocacy). He won’t ever be “objective” in the true meaning of what journalism is supposed to be.

I don’t call myself a journalist, and wouldn’t, even if I had my own site. Just because I worked on the 9th grade school paper and was an editor in college doesn’t make me a journalist by any means. Journalists put in long hours, most of the time with little reward, don’t appear on TV shilling their own writing, and don’t actively seek the limelight. A real journalist is not a “TV personality” IMHO.

OTOH, I think I have more of an understanding of journalistic ethics than GG does, even if I did learn them in the 9th grade. : )
