Indeed, why he would say anything about a place where he lives and that provides him with both income and legal protection. Snowden is not my enemy and I’m not spreading propaganda. All I’m saying is that a person under complete control of one country does not offer a trustworthy perspective of the strategic adversary of said country. He might be right, he might be wrong but you and I will never know if and how deeply he is being influenced.

Snowden exposed the US intelligence apparatus at grave risk to himself before he even knew he would get stuck in Russia. He already has much more credibility than the journalists and news corporations who are being deeply influenced by US government and intelligence agencies. As I said, it's a propaganda technique. Do we screech at US journalists about why aren't they denouncing the US every time they publish a story about Russia? No.
