In the 7:00 EST show on CNN some 25 year old news anchor woman I never saw before hosted a lengthy segment dedicated to the assassination of Snowden's character. It began with a talking head session featuring the young anchor, a representative of the Obama administration, and a republican political operative. They got together to discuss whether or not Obama flip flopped on one of his campaign promises to end illegal wire tapping. There was some back and forth, but the overall point was to show viewers that Democrats, Republicans, and apparently CNN have absolutely no problem with what Obama is doing and that the only possible issue is whether or not he is a hypocrite.
The show then moved on to a discussion with an Obama administration representative to discuss the "certainty" that Snowden is a secret Chinese operative. Among the brilliant commentary was the careful dissection of his most recent message, with the young anchor being sure to let the nation know that the phrase "petting a phoenix" is apparently racist. The representative and the anchor then got down to the business of reporting pure supposition, implying that Snowden was giving interviews at the behest of Chinese intelligence, despite having absolutely no evidence to that effect whatsoever other than the fact that he went to Beijing. The overall point of the segment was to make sure the viewer understood that Snowden was a traitor to the United States for blowing a whistle on the unlawful activities of the Obama administration.
With this, I am finished with the Democratic party. This is the reaction of leftist news sources? Everything is OK and the man who had the balls to do what most of the rest of us could never imagine doing is a traitor? For doing a service to the American people? What I saw on the television today actually made my physically ill.
