Taken. Clive Crook weighs in on the Ambinder-Greenwald spat:
Greenwald demands skepticism toward those in power -- which any good journalist must have -- but then confuses this with implacable hostility. They are not the same. The job of a reporter is to question, understand, and inform. You need a vigorous skepticism to do this. But unreasoning hostility is as inimical to understanding as blind deference.
