it just proves that the media is a propaganda machine.
IMO, Mr. Snowden has secured his place in history and although TPTB want him silenced and "we" have done nothing to stop the NSA, he will be recognized as a beacon that was extinguished by TPTB and a lost chance to change American morals.
A sad footnote for a man who is a hero.
