While the media is obsessing about Anna Nichole's baby-daddy and some racist bigotard who said some stupid shit, Glenn Greenwald is busy doing actual journalism. And wow, did he ever bring the thunder down on ABC news.
It all started with this piece about how ABC recently made a huge deal out of a story about Iran's nuclear capabilities without giving any information about the sources of its information. That led to an exchange with an executive at ABC who basically says that people should just trust ABC because of what a great news organization they are. There was no way Glenn was going to let them get away with that, and so a few days later he came out with a story showing how ABC has yet to retract their irresponsible and erroneous reporting where they linked Iraq to the anthrax scares here in 2001. Both the Iran nuclear story and the Iraq anthrax story were from ABC's Brian Glenn, and both were based on anonymous sources.
After an ABC exec sent Glenn an absurd response to the anthrax story, he unleashed this brutal shredding of ABC News today. Amazing work.

I don't like Greenwald for this one reason which I just discovered: he's one of those assholes who forces your web browser to stay on the same page even when you press the back button. What the fuck? What kind of freedom-hating prick is this guy?
I've never had that issue
