GREENWALD TO MSNBC: I'm Defending Snowden Like You Defend Obama '24 Hours A Day'

Greenwald was asked by MSNBC anchor Kristen Welker to respond to critics that have charged Greenwald has "crossed a line" in defending Snowden and has become a "spokesman" for him.
Greenwald sniped back by blasting the network, charging that its own bias lies within its "24-hour" defense of President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party.
"I think that's ludicrous — that's what I say to that," Greenwald said.
"Every journalist has an agenda. We're on MSNBC now, where, close to 24 hours a day, the agenda of President Obama and the Democratic Party are promoted, defended, glorified, [and] the agenda of the Republican Party is undermined. That doesn’t mean that the people who appear on MSNBC aren't journalists — they are."
