- WarOnPrivacy 6y agoThis is a pretty solid example. Edward Snowden dragged the US press into reporting on US Gov's surveillance misdeeds. Before, revelations like those from Mark Klein got a huge yawn from the entirety of the US Press Corps. The most likely reasons for news orgs refuse to publish damning evidence about US Gov malfeasance are collusion and/or ineptitude. I feel that showing unearned deference to US NatSec state implies the latter.
