Even though I think, Snowden is on the right here, lets not kid ourselves, they using Snowden right now to trash Wikileaks, anyone remember when Snowden leaks came out, he was a russian spy, who apparently went to Russia by himself and dumped American intelligence documents to them.

now according to most mainstream publications Wikileaks are shill for Putin, cold war era rhetoric in 2016.

Who is 'they'?
Big media outlets and the DNC? CNN even had their frontpage with Trump and Putin pictures side by side saying "Russia Helping Trump?" The actual story was more clear that it was just someone in a campaign accusing Russia. But the headline and setup was obviously intended to convey a different idea.
