Glenn Greenwald, The Intercept
Greenwald writes: "Tony Blair today took a little time off from serving the world's despots in order to exploit the 10th anniversary of the July 7 London train bombing. He did so by casting blame on 'radical Islam' for the world's violence while exempting himself."

The Media Still Won't Use 'Bill Cosby' and 'Rape' in a Headline
