Thanks for the check. I was actually looking at the online version, and checking the prominent stories. I agree that the where-is-Snowden story is getting some coverage, but even there the selection and tone of the materials support the administration. Does the lack of new information from the US government mean that there are no new "material developments" in the story? Considering the damaging revelations in these leaks (misleading congressional testimony? private contractors with access to dragnet surveillance systems?), it is not plausible to claim there is no investigative journalism to do. That it has taken two outsiders to write a piece sensibly critical of the administration and unconstitutionality of data-vacuuming is utterly damning.
