Journalist Glenn Greenwald revealed the story of Edward Snowden and the US government's secret spying on every American. Here Greenwald talks about Snowden and also about the government surveillance of everybody, assault on civil liberties, & hypocrisy about leaks.
And he talks about the disgraceful behavior of the US "mainstream" news media-- determined to SERVE those in power rather than to hold them accountable.
With an updated introduction by KD.
Greenwalds words are taken from a video interview (by Vice magazine) conducted in Rio de Janeiro in November 2013.
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "Yum-Yum Tree") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
