p m carpenter's commentary: Keller vs. Greenwald

p m carpenter's commentary: Keller vs. Greenwald: Greenwald righteously protests that he presents journalism for the greater good and with an informed partiality and in a deeper search for "the truth," and for all I know he protests authentically. Yet Glenn Beck protests the same. And absent underlying sources of unopinionated knowledge and facts--such as Keller's--I can't possibly know whose ideological story--i.e., politics reduced to personal morality--to buy. Which means I require precisely what Greenwald rejects: the "here’s-what-both-sides-say-and-I-won’t-resolve-the-conflicts" kind of journalism.
