More About Greenwald’s Questionable Blogger Ethics

From www.thepeople’sview.net come more interesting revelations substantiating my hunch that Mr. Greenwald, conscience of the nation-‘n-all, ain’t as spotlessly disinterested as he would have us believe, and, no, that undisclosed Cato gig is the not only reason to believe that.

“The very same Glenn Greenwald who is accusing the SEIU of trying to use OWS’ language (heaven forbid!) for their own purposes (which, as a union, just happens to be supporting working people), penned another column earlier last week trying to sell (and promote) winter gear for the OWS protesters being disbursed by the notorious Firedoglake. But of course, Greenwald fails to mention that he stands to financially gain from donations to FDL, as the treasurer of FDL’s PAC, Accountability Now, and his company, DMDM Enterprises, is used to taking money for “administrative expenses” from Accountability Now.

An examination of FEC reports shows that Greenwald’s DMDM Enterprises received more than $40,000 from FDL’s Accountability Now from 2008-2010, and of course, we have no idea how much more he has received as salary as Treasurer. (For those interested, yes, I have been working on a story on this with some help, and it keeps getting pushed back for different reasons – but expect a campaign finance story on Greenwald, Hamsher et al. to drop soon).”

Of course, this doesn’t mean I subscribe to the politics of the blog on which this tidbit has been served up. But one doesn’t have to be an Obamite to worry about Greenwald.  Remember, he was also one of the strongest supporters of Julian Assange…which about says it all.
