How can the supposedly most capable "intelligence" organization in the world be so dumb at understanding public opinion in the internet age? It's like they are operating out of a 1930s propaganda playbook ..
Especially when Snowden, Greenwald et al appear to be masterminds at the same task. Of course, it helps to have the truth on your side, but considering that they are up against the most powerful people on the planet .. very impressive.
- Terr_ 12y agoTwo possibilities: 1. "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it." Replace "understand" with "acknowledge" as necessary. 2. They know they only need to worry about the opinions of certain key players, not the public in general.
