Even in the title, Reuters editorializes blatantly by labeling Snowden "leaker." And the downvotes here are already clearly politically motivated.

- duxup 6y agoPersonally I don't see leaker as an automatic pejorative.
- SmokeyHamster 6y agoAgreed. There have been plenty of people labeled "leakers" inside the White House who have been celebrated by the media, like Eric Ciaramella.
- duxup 6y agoYeah I think of it as a verb, whatever good or bad is up to the person to interpret on their own.
- briandear 6y agoDefine the term leaker. And then address if Snowden was that. Motivation doesn’t change the definition of the term.
- stjohnswarts 6y agoleaker is neutral, it's not a pejorative
