The 13 Most Bizarre Things from Edward Snowdens NBC News Interview
snip///
Last night, while watching Brian Williams interview with Ed Snowden, I actually agreed with Glenn Greenwald about something. Back in 2012, Greenwald referred to Williams as NBC News top hagiographer, using his reverent, soothing, self-important baritone to deliver information in its purest, most propagandistic, and most subservient form.
Its worth noting at the outset that Greenwald flew all the way to Moscow specifically for the NBC News interview, and he appeared on camera with Snowden and Williams, answering questions from this so-called hagiographer.

1) Snowden claimed he has no relationship with the Russian government and that hes not supported by it.
2) Sometimes to do the right thing you have to break a law.
4) Early on, Snowden said, Im not a spy. Later he famously confessed to being trained as a spy. Huh?

12) People have unfairly demonized the NSA to a point that is too extreme. Why is Snowden an apologist for the surveillance state? Drooling! Vast!

"Ultimately, Snowden is his own worst enemy and his ongoing ability to say crazy things in a calm, collected voice continues. Whats abundantly clear at this point is that no one will ever land an interview with Snowden who will be as adversarial against the former NSA contractor as Greenwald has been in his own reporting in defense of Snowden. Itll never happen."
