That's the crucial fault of the Snowden campaign, its corrupt core, ambition and greed triumphant. Snowden is paying the high price for others' profit. A nadir in contemporary journalism seemingly without bottom.
I watched the snowden/poitras documentary a few days ago and it wasn't that bad. What I find somewhat puzzling is the fact that greenwald would cooperate with 'capitalists' like the ebay owner? Wasn't greenwald some kind of 'liberal'? Also, is the snowden affair really being handled in a way to maximize profits? For whom? It's not as if the snowden affair is some kind of hollywood nazi fairy tale. I don't think western imperialists like to be reminded what kind of garbage they are.
Meanwhile obsessive handwringing about petty story fabrication, as if to avoid the principal fabrication of 2013-2015, instead praising, awarding, investing, promoting, recycling, gaming, streaming, TEDing, Oscaring, glorifying, comedifying it.
