War on Journalism: Establishment hack calls for Greenwald's arrest

http://www.infowars.com/war-on-the-free-press-another-establishment-hack-calls-for-greenwalds-arrest/

Another mouthpiece for the establishment corrupt media has called for the US government to arrest Glenn Greenwald, who was the reporter who broke the revelations by Edward Snowden about the NSA domestic spy program.

NY Times Andrew Ross Sorkin, who is a business reporter, has stated he would arrest "Snowden and now I'd almost arrest Glenn Greenwald, the journalist who seems to be out there, he wants to help him get to Ecuador or whatever"

This piece of garbage of a journalist made these comments despite the fact that there is no evidence showing that Greenwald is helping Snowden in anyway. The London Gbyuardian reporter only helped Snowden going public by interviewing him. When he was called out for his comments, Sorkin tried to back pedal on twitter that he was just "raising other questions"

And his comments are even more ironic considering he has buddied up with Wall St. executives to make sure their side of the story on the economic crisis is told(and you can see the twitter exchanges as they are posted in the article).

This latest stunt on Greenwald comes after NBC's Meet the Press Anchor David Gregory had made similar comments that Greenwald "aided and abetted" Snowden asking him why he should not be charged with a crime(videos for both are provided)

However Greenwald wrote a bloody good scathing rant against the establishment press and the only reason they are after him is because they are bitter about not being real journalists:

"Some of what is driving this hostility from some media figures is personal bitterness. Some of it is resentment over my having been able to break these big stories not despite, but because of, my deliberate breaching of the conventions that rule their world.

But most of it  what I have long criticized them for most: they are far more servants to political power than adversarial watchdogs over it, and what provokes their rage most is not corruption on the part of those in power(they don't care about that) but rather those who expose that corruption, especially when the ones bringing transparency are outside of, even hostile to, their incestuous media circles.

They're just courtiers doing what courtiers have always done: defending the royal court and attacking anyone who challenges or dissents from it. That's how they maintain their status and access within it. That's what courtiers to power,by definition, do"

I could not agree more with that statement and I applaud Greenwald for at least having the balls to expose what we already knew about the NSA illegally spying and for given Snowden a voice as well and I think Snowden is a bloody hero for doing what he did and letting the public know about the corruption going on in the US government regarding the NSA..
