For the record, I watched Fox News while eating lunch yesterday, and bounced between it and MSNBC. Fox was much, much worse about attacking Snowden. They brought in an FBI profiler who sat there and pretended to know what kind of personality Snowden has. She basically painted him as an attention whore. Then the Fox reporter made fun of his girlfriend for being rather "hippyish" and enrolling in circus classes, and asked leading questions that were clearly heading down the path of "this guy is a fruitcake liberal." The fact that he donated money to Rand Paul was ignored, naturally. Oddly enough, MSNBC was actually criticizing Obama, and running a story comparing him to George W. Bush. Calling CNN partisan is absurd. They're not. They are biased, of course, but to their corporate sponsors. Just thought I'd pop your factless bubble with an anecdote that completely destroys it. The "liberal media" bullshit is just that: bullshit. Journalists who are classically trained tend to be liberal because of their college background, but are tempered by both age and the "journalistic ethic" drilled in to them. "Conservative" media isn't really ideologically conservative. They instead play to an elderly reader/viewer base that hates change and resents a country that isn't as white, Christian or rural as it used to be. Hence the fact that John Boehner is on TV calling Snowden a traitor, while the ACTUAL Conservatives who have a true ideology call him a hero.
