Glenn Greenwald, author of Great American Hypocrites
This week on Media Matters Bob McChesney talks with Glenn Greenwald. Glenn Greenwald was previously a constitutional law and civil rights litigator in New York. He is the author of two New York Times Bestselling books: "How Would a Patriot Act?" (May, 2006), a critique of the Bush administration's use of executive power, and "A Tragic Legacy" (June, 2007), which examines the Bush legacy. His most recent book, "Great American Hypocrites", examines the manipulative electoral tactics used by the GOP and propagated by the establishment press.

Love the show. Important information. But please, please, Bob, cut out the drink with ice cubes. The clinking of the ice cubes in the glass is very distracting and rather unprofessional.
Awesome show. Before this I never heard much from Glen Greenwald, but after this I purchased “How Would A Patriot Act?” and thought it was an excellent book. I also was able to use the information from this podcast regarding NPR’s practices regarding the use of the word “terror” in my mass media class, which made me look smarter than I actually am. Good job!
