Who is the best political journalist of this generation?

For me Glenn Greenwald wins hands down. Fearless, independent and with superb analysis.

He is most famous for being the Guardian journalist behind the Edward Snowden revelations. He has also been heavily involved as a critical friend if Wikileaks and recently broke the news of the 'soft coup' of the Brazilian Government to international audiences.

Here he is in the Intercept, with his superb analysis of the Trump airstrike and the forces behind it. Its a long article, but well worth it.

Hands down no doubt about it. He should get more exposure.

@Jackjjacksonjr: I think objectivity, and calling it like it is, whether or not in meets your own political agenda, is a must. Krauthammer never had that quality.

@Northwest:

True. He has some bias. Less than a lot do but he certainly is not without it. I like that he isn't always predictable and does his homework.
