Glenn Greenwald on the Merger of Government and Journalists

Above is CNN’s Jessica Yellin interviewing Salon’s Glenn Greenwald and former Bush adviser Fran Townsend about Julian Assange of Wikileaks.

Greewald posted about his appearance today:

Over the last month, I’ve done many television and radio segments about WikiLeaks and what always strikes me is how indistinguishable — identical — are the political figures and the journalists. There’s just no difference in how they think, what their values and priorities are, how completely they’ve ingested and how eagerly they recite the same anti-WikiLeaks, “Assange = Saddam” script.
