I find the coverage of this story very interesting...
At first, the media was on board with the sentiment that this is an outrage and how can our government dare spy on us! But now I am hearing more of the "This guy is a criminal and needs to be brought to justice. Of course the government is spying on us because it is for our own good. If you got nothing to hide, you got nothing to fear." Type of thoughts from the mainstream press. Most of the media is now in lockstep with whatever the government wants to do...and it seems as if the people of this country don't mind.

And Richie, its been going on far longer than that. One can argue the current incarnate of media being subordinate to goverment started with 9/11. It reached one high peak with the cascade of lies and propaganda which led us to the War in Iraq. Not surprised you said that year though, I am surprised that a bombastic boomer resorts to passive/aggressiveness to express his Obama Derangement Disorder though.

This guys options are fading. Last week he had a good sized list of countries to plead asylum. Today...Venezuela looks like his best option...but is not a guarantee that once he is there that the government won't 'flip' on him. I'm on his side! Obviously, money is an issue.... He needs to be more anonymous if he wants results.
