More information on Greenfield's work

I'd like to see more information on Greenfield's work as a journalist. I added information on criticism he received due to his coverage on healthcare in relation to Michael Moore's documentary, 'Sicko,' as well as quotes from Greenfield's response to that criticism. I hope others find this helpful and that more people will contribute information regarding Greenfield's work.

Here is a copy of what exactly I added: "He has also received criticism from progressive groups such as FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting) for his coverage of healthcare in the United States. While discussing Michael Moore's documentary "Sicko," on a June 22, 2007, edition of CBS Evening News, Greenfield criticized Moore's proposals for healthcare reform, saying that "no one [presidential candidates], Democrat or Republican, has come close to advocating the kind of government-run national health system Michael Moore proposes," because "Americans are just different" and do not want that type of system. FAIR countered that Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D.-Ohio), a presidential candidate, endorsed that particular option for healthcare, as did other members of Congress supporting HR 676. They also cited recent polls that found widespread support from Americans, inclduing a CNN poll conducted May 4 - 6, 2007, in which 64% of those asked agreed that "government should provide a national health insurance program for all Americans, even if this would require higher taxes."[2] Greenfield responded to the criticism in a post on the CBS website. He wrote that Moore's proposal is not for a single-payer system, but a "government run system in which doctors work for the government," and that FAIR was "comparing apples and oranges; actually, apples and bowling balls is more like it."[3][4]" Langtry (talk) 16:53, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

His home

Every time I see a one of his reports (usually on the PBS News Hour), it is ALWAYS from Santa Barbara. If not his primary home, it's certainly a seasonal home. Ed (talk) 05:28, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
