The JRE Snowden interview made the front page of CNN! And what was their takeaway from the 3 hour podcast?

https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/23/us/edward-snowden-joe-rogan-conspiracies-trnd/index.html

"To be fair, the man revealed a massive program of surveillance run by the US government and is now living in exile in Moscow as a result."

That's it, their whole take on what he talked about for the other 2 hours and 40 minutes or so. They couldn't even bring themselves to add in there "of US citizens." The NSA has every word you ever typed online stored up, in searchable form, collected illegally then made legal once word got out.

Don't worry about that though; the government probably isn't hiding evidence that aliens exist.

What?

This is not an example of bad reporting. This is the whole quote that you put out of context.

To be fair, the man revealed a massive program of surveillance run by the US government and is now living in exile in Moscow as a result. If the US government was keeping secrets about aliens and UFOs in Area 51, surely Snowden would have been the one to find out.

Their point was that Snowden would know if the US was hiding stuff about aliens he would likely know. They didn't go into depth about what Snowden was exiled for because that wasn't the purpose of the article. The article isn't reporting on whether Snowden's exile is justified, literally only conspiracy theories that he said were probably not true and why he is a credible source to say that.

Hurr Durr.

If it sucks, it sucks. Trump will call CNN fake news when they rightfully cover something stupid he did, but the thing is, they actually suck.

You mean like when they spent three years calling him a Russian spy?

Vapers have been calling the news "Fake News" since New York Public Health Dept. Lab found that it was THC carts causing the "vaping epidemic", and not the nicotine juices.

Even now, MSM continues to push "Stop ALL Vaping cause BAD!" narrative.

Because that's the only thing they're reporting on, ignoring the rest of what was discussed, at least that's all what's getting sent over on promoted articles.

Because the president of the country is a babbling incompetent corrupt liar who is wrong about most things

So when you agree with him you feel bad by association

Same reason you probably don't want to hear "Oh do you agree with Hitler?" when you say you support animal cruelty laws.

Stigma is a thing

Nope, absolutely pro-impeachment. Most of the documents he stole were about foreign surveillance and spying, and he proceeded to flee to and take refuge in a dictatorship, where he is apparently being well-cared-for despite not working at all. Yeah, not suspect at all.

He took refuge "in a dictatorship" because "free" nations like France and the UK blocked his refugee requests as America tried to arrest him.

It's either Russia in comfort as you whistleblow or America in prison (or more likely dead) as you fail to change or achieve anything ever.

That and literally only that was his choice and I don't believe you and your little lying chipmunk face if you pretend you wouldn't do the same thing.

Like Snowden or not it's not hard to see what he did it.

News media was in a bad place long before Trump, that's true... but not for the reasons which Trump has identified. The problem has always been that news stations peddle low quality, junk news. In contrast, Trump's "fake news" mantra is based in the naked denial of fact. That's an entirely different kind of sickness-- one that Fox News is the modern progenitor of, and which Trump has helped fester.

CNN's month-long campaign around the missing Malaysian airplane was ridiculous, but it wasn't 1984 Newspeak. There's an important difference.

Only a nationalist would consider "treason" in itself a reason to consider Snowden's actions morally reprehensible.

Nah, this is a bullshit, weaselly excuse. Most of the documents he took were related to foreign surveillance and cyber-warfare, not spying on US citizens. He then proceeded to flee to countries with far-worse human rights violations (but god knows you probably love the governments of China and Russia), and give them information in exchange for asylum.

Nothing weaselly about it. Using "traitorous" to describe someone's exposure of the actions of an imperialist country is nationalist and reactionary. Own it or don't use such terminology.

Also, didn't post #32 already explain the part in bold to you? And lol if you think I'm pro-China or pro-Russia. No, I'm not a fan of state capitalism.

Well Trump is saying that it's fake news because they publish stories that reflect poorly on him. That's incorrect.

It's been no secret for a long time that they're shit though. It was always one of Jon Stewart's main talking points.
