What sort of coverage is this getting in the USA?
I had a quick look at nytimes.com and didn't see anything. I realize that HN is kind of an echo chamber, especially about these events, so it would be nice to know as a non US resident how this is all panning out in major news centres.
- mpyne 13y agoLast thing I heard was that the Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup and that a red panda lost from the Washington DC zoo was found safe in DC...
- revscat 13y agoWhen it is discussed -- which is rare -- the American media is focusing on Snowden and his whereabouts. There is almost no discussion about what he has exposed. As it typically is, the media is aligned with the bureaucracy.
- pvnick 13y agoThis is infuriating. What can we do?
- VladRussian2 13y agoNothing.
- pvnick 13y agoI don't accept that.
- VladRussian2 13y agoyou're accepting it. Just by mere being present while your freedoms and rights are being raped, you're accepting it. Something along the lines of "estoppel" and "laches" concepts. What you're thinking while it happens - doesn't matter as you'll get used to it with time.
- TheCondor 13y agoIt varies. The US news cycle has become so rapid that these issues that involve subtlety become hard to cover (hey, Kim karashian has big tits and she just had a baby, more after this commercial break..) Fwiw, I read about this in the Denver post before I saw it here. Mark Udall is a Colorado senator though.
- pvnick 13y agoFWIW "Kim Kardashian is fat now" has been a top news story for weeks and week. The vapidity of our "news" is stunning.
- anigbrowl 13y agoWe have excellent quality news on PBS, but it has quite a small audience. An awful lot of people just want to hear about tits, zoo animals, and local news.
