This entire thing reads as a smear job which is quite a shame.
- rhizome 13y agoIt's all they got, and it's a time-tested technique. The US government certainly doesn't want to talk about the revelations themselves.
- meepmorp 13y agoHow is it a smear job? At mos, it's the press being distracted from the content of the allegations. But it's a fairly uncontroversial observation that Snowden would be someone that a variety of foreign intelligence services would at least be interested in talking to.
- rhizome 13y agoShould those stories receive more commentary, be posted more often, than those focussing on the content of the leaks?
- meepmorp 13y agoNo, but what does that have to do with whether or not this article is a smear (which is the context of my comment, where the person I was responding to thought the article was a smear). Shitty, lazy reporting? Sure.
