I hope this spurs Snowden to take a step back from having Assange and WikiLeaks do his PR. I always thought this was a terrible idea.
PR efforts from Assange/WikiLeaks need to be 100% focused on Bradley Manning. They owe it to him to give him their undivided attention.
However, if Snowden wants to continue giving interviews and have media reps, he's in a tough spot. His other main media contact, Glen Greenwald, struggles with being perceived as a journalist because of his past history as an activist. Greenwald wouldn't want to jeopardize his recently gained journalistic integrity by doing something 'activist-y' like team up with Snowden to plan media strategy (which is what Snowden really needs).
I think the best outcome in this scenario would be for a media-savvy activist internet lawyer come out of an organization like EFF of Harvard and rep Snowden.
