I always enjoy reading Glenn Greenwald's posts, even if I don't always agree with them or if I'm a little uncomfortable with the hyperbole.

But I do wish The Intercept would promote his stories like this one as "Opinion" or market them as columns because they don't feel like journalism, they feel like editorial. I appreciate opinion pieces, I just like to consume them with a different mindset than journalistic content.

You're an adult now. Everything you read in the media is redolent with opinion judgement. In the nyt, wsj, the post. This article does you the service of making the authors judgement obvious and providing the sources so you can form your own informed opinion - disagree by all means.

Is there somewhere else you can find out the facts about how the post hypes false stories and buries their reaction? Note that Putin, whether he is evil incarnate or not is the current bogeyman for military funding. So you can see why media coverage of the "putin threat" might be important. WMD coverage isn't a long time ago. Do presidential candidates still sing "bomb iran" to a beach boys melody?
