Edward Snowden's Leaks Were Masked By Job Duties
- bediger4000 13y agoIt feels like NPR doesn't approve of Snowden, rather like how Jeffery Toobin doesn't approve of him. Is this just a manifestation of NPR feeling that upstarts like bloggers, etc aren't Real Journalists? Or is this a manifestation of NPR being part of the mainstream media, and not wanting to upset their relationships with "insiders" and "unnamed sources" and so forth? Either way, NPR seems like they're part of the "US media is a US Gov lapdog" syndrome. The Guardian and "O Globo" scoops everyone else in the whole world, so the US Media is going to ignore the story. NPR acts this way on copyright related stories, as well, I've noticed.
