debate on the issue at hand to be lost. Surveillance policy ought to be as strongly debated, regardless of which administration is in office, as whether or not Snowden/Greenwald are "good or bad"....
It seems we've forgotten that the MSM was long ago infiltrated by those tasked with disinformation or at least propaganda. Am I the only one who recalls the revelations that CIA had specifically targeted every major news agency with planted staff in the recent past? That wasn't "rumor", it was confirmed.
That every story I've read in recent weeks focused on these two players in this whole episode and not the wider debate regarding the scope of the program and protections/expectations of privacy, tell me that that this particular agenda has definitely won the day--and nowhere more than on DU.
