147.2 - Good news: Greenwald, et. al., win Polk Award

Good news: Greenwald, et. al., win Polk Award

Congratulations to Glenn Greenwald, Ewen MacAskill, Laura Poitras of The Guardian and Barton Gellman of the Washington Post for winning the prestigious Polk Award for excellence in journalism.

And what did they win it for? They're the ones who covered all the stuff that Edward Snowden revealed about all lthe spying the NSA is doing on us.

So those people who are the ones who are primarily responsible for us actually knowing about all this stuff? They just won a prestigious journalism award. So good on them.
