Y'all give Kremlin tools like Assange and Snowden a pass.
In your book:
"big bad Western elites" = the devil.
Seriously?
I will concede that Western Corporatism is not ideal.
But look at the current alternatives.
Assange and Snowden are "Kremlin tools"?
All they're doing is what the free press is supposed to do, but abandoned a decade or so ago.
The free press are supposed to do espionage?
They published the Pentagon Papers, which were classified Top Secret. Press freedom is a constitutional issue, which trumps espionage, which is merely an issue of federal law.
