I question why HNs sole source of information seems to only be The Guardian.
- gjm11 13y agoIt isn't. (Obviously.) Recent HN postings, political and newsy rather than technical, about the NSA, have included stories from: The Atlantic Wire (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6059446 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6059446), Security Week (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6054198 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6054198), USA Today (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5850606 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5850606, article from 2006 but posted a couple of months ago), C-SPAN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5899226 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5899226). Those were just the first few I found with a trivial Google search. There are a number of stories from the Guardian. That would be because they (1) have run a lot of stories about this stuff and (2) have a good website. Do you see a problem with that?
- northwest 13y agoIt's the NSA-related articles that often come from The Guardian. That's simply because this paper is the window for Snowden (not sure if they have an exclusive agreement, maybe). They have the balls to stand behind him, unlike a lot of other outlets. Also, know that the rest of the main stream media don't seem to like the idea of discussing this mess and any possible solutions - probably b/c they're ultimately controlled by influential politicians or other moneyed interests.
- ianhawes 13y agoActually, MSM has been covering Snowden and his leaks fairly consistently since they occurred. Perhaps you should watch Fox News or CNN before you go off making unsubstantiated claims.
