As an American that doesn't care, I can say that the media is in quite a hypocritical situation with this one. They've had 10 years to look into this, to take a stance, to confront the US Government on the issue. For 10 years they've ignored, or not cared, about issues like wire tapping, searching through emails and phone records, etc without a warrant. Issues like locking up an american citizens indefinitely without a right to trial. Issues like using drones to kill americans. They've ignored these issues for going on 10 years because, I assume, they felt they were immune to them. That they had protections against them that 'regular' Americans didn't. Now they find out and they are just as susceptible to those rules as the rest of us an want to put a rallying cry for us to come to their side? Even further they want special legislation protecting them from it, while leaving the rest of us unprotected? Please. The media deserves absolutely zero sympathy on this one. Maybe if they were doing their jobs, maybe if they actually cared about the American people the way they claim, they wouldn't be in this mess.
