NBC poll on Snowden totally flipped since yesterday.

It is scary to think how anesthetized people are by usual media fare, that they haven't much cared what is being done in terms of surveillance now, or how it all goes back to the Bushes and 9/11. But it is encouraging that the American public, after being propagandized by both parties' leaders to hate Snowden, could wake up as much as they did overnight. Almost 6 million watched. TV still has a major role in a healthy democracy that neither print media nor the Internet can match, and the Snowden interview will be remembered for decades.

Kerry did not come across well at all, by contrast to Snowden, which I think contributed to this flip in public opinion. Other polls will tell us more about the impact of the interview.
