Free Snowden. Free Hong Kong. Why do we care more about Hong Kong than Snowden? Snowden needs to work on his marketing.

Well, Hong Kong is an entire city of people, while Snowden is just one guy.

Hong Kong got more coverage than Minneapolis protests as well. It was only after Hong Kong protests were proudly displaying their racism to Black people that we stopped covering them. Which is hilarious to say the least. But I guess you have a point because Minneapolis is a smaller city.
Are you seriously asking why we care about 7.5 million people more than we care about one person?
Sorry Snowden your suffering is insignificant because you're just one guy. :(
