Journalism and Accountability
Posted on | February 28, 2009 |
Glen Greenwald writes about the split in journalism known as Cacooning, where only those with sympathetic views to a particular source will be allowed to talk to them. I couldn’t help but feeling that is the way objective journalism would have it, don’t challenge the source, just ask the easy questions to let them say what they want to say. Or worse, (and it’s easy to do) get them to say what the journalist wants them to say.
Now, I am working on the “accountability” project for Link TV, amassing all of the articles and debates on torture, detention and presidential power in a single place to serve as a reference and comprehensive source.

Also, the best piece I’ve seen so far about how Obama’s DoJ is doing much the same as W. is from Gleen Greenwald today.
