Emran Feroz is an Afghan-Austrian journalist currently based in Stuttgart, Germany. He is regularly writing from Afghanistan, often focusing on the Middle East, Central Asia, drone warfare, refugee policies and human rights. Emran is writing in both German and English. His work has already appeared in international media outlets such as Al Jazeera, The Intercept, Alternet, The Atlantic or the New York Times and in various German and Austrian news papers and magazines.
This special episode of Jeremy Scahill's Intercepted podcast is absolutely worth seeing.
Two great journalists — Glenn Greenwald and James Risen — are facing each other to discuss "Russiagate" and the whole Trump/Russia story.
While Greenwald has become one of the main critics of the mainstream's discourse on the issue, Risen believes that there is more than enough evidence that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 elections.
Recently, Risen published a provocative piece, asking if Donald Trump is a traitor.
Many readers of Risen, who is still considered as a journalistic legend, were disappointed. But while Risen appeared on MSNBC because of his recent column, Greenwald has become a regular commentator on Fox News to spread his views on the topic.
But this debate is invaluable because of different reasons. On one side, you can see that both persons are great journalists and make very valid points. On the other side, it is good to see that there are still media outlets out there who support real debate.
