New World Notes - Glenn Greenwald on Edward Snowden, NSA Spying, and the Hypocrisy of the Press

This week on New World Notes: radio program #316, March 25, 2014, from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m. (and on Wednesday from 8:30 to 9:00 p.m.), host Kenneth Dowst acknowledges the work of journalist Glenn Greenwald.

Greenwald brought to light the story of Edward Snowden and the US government's top-secret program of spying on every American. In this week's show, Greenwald talks about Snowden and about the government's surveillance, assault on civil liberties, and hypocrisy about leaks.

And he talks about the disgraceful behavior of the US "mainstream" news media--dedicated to serving those power rather than holding them accountable.

With an introduction by KD, reflecting on the news media's unanimous and unceasing Putin-bashing since before the Olympics.

Greenwald's words are taken from a video interview conducted in Rio de Janeiro in November 2013.
