Hmm, maybe if our 'fourth estate' actually wasn't the govs bitch, Assange's org wouldn't have looked so moral. But here we are.

Your point and the publication of Snowden’s material by the mainstream media can’t both be true

[forgetfulusr]

For some reason I thought that Snowden went to a UK publisher because the US outlets were not interested. Once the Guardian agreed, were the outlets here expected to ignore it?

Snowden went to two US journalists, Glenn Greenwald, and Laura Poitras.

Greenwald and Poitras don't have glowing opinions of USA news media firms either.
