"Second." I'm pretty sure the words "at least" and "confirmed" are missing from this headline.
Or just go with a straight up accurate headline. "The NSA Have Again Been Caught Lying Again and Have Zero Credibility"
Accurate, unbiased and factual. You don't do middle ground between good and evil and call it balance. Facts are facts whatever you think of them.
An opinion would be the NSA needs to be shut down, disbanded and a new department setup with clear guidelines for anything the NSA was doing that is deemed to be still worthwhile. Agreeing or not with that opinion doesn't alter the facts.
- oil25 7y agoWell said. Unfortunately I can't help but feel the Snowden revelations have had such a profound chilling effect on free speech and the press, that we are now afraid to go on record - even with pseudonyms - to denigrate the NSA, CIA and other government agencies. The thought that any idea, written or perhaps even not, is cataloged for eternity and scrutinized under unknown pretenses certainly gives me pause before I write or reply online now. Truly, I am afraid saying the "wrong" thing today may in a few short years turn out quite badly.
