Jemima Kelly sounds a bit jealous when she, after noting the big bucks that Greenwald makes, immediately calls him a "mere Hack". It gave me a chuckle to read her reporting done with a derogatory attitude that allows derogatory name calling of someone because they report with an attitude. I won't watch for further reporting by her because she sounds like a mere hack. Thanks for the post though because it reminded me of Freddie deBoer whom I followed for some time years back but had lost track of and forgotten. I just subscribed and if I find him as interesting and informative as I did in the past I will maintain my subscription at his 16 cent a day rate. That fits my budget since I quit the NYT. I recommend his link as an introduction to any who might be unaware of his writing.

Poor Jemima has her own probs (or is being a kept woman a plus?)

But oddly she tweeted this writer on the way to meet the ransom payers - could it be these people we think of as diametrically opposed might be friends and closer to each other than we'd gathered?
