Do you think it was planned by the NSA?
- downandout 13y agoI don't, but then anything is possible. They could have invented Snowden in response to a credible threat from someone else that was planning to leak this or other even more sensitive materials. Anybody making similar disclosures today would have a tough time getting any attention because the Snowden story drew so little public outrage.
- untog 13y agoThe Snowden story got huge traction. It will be the biggest story of 2013.
- fargolime 13y agoZimmerman story was bigger, I'd say. Maybe Paula Deen too.
- untog 13y agoZimmerman perhaps. We're still not out of that story yet so it may grow bigger with protests, etc., but it's still a US centric story. Deen even more so, Snowden has gotten a lot more international coverage.
- takluyver 13y agoTo back that up from across the pond: the PRISM/Snowden story has been major news in the UK. Zimmerman was headline news, but only for a day or two, and I don't know who Paula Deen is.
