In reply to the discussion: Obama is going to lose young people if he doesn't reverse at least some of his surveillance policies [View all]marions ghost
(19,841 posts)70. "The mainstream media"
--he's right in calling them out for their deflection and spin.
The only mainstream media I pay any attention to is Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow who've done a reasonable job. And there's also been good coverage internationally.
The reality may have to be dealt with gradually, as it does when a shock wave goes through the populace. Maybe even Snowden needs to realize that. Whole lotta denial out there. But the genie is out of the bottle and finally people are discussing this.
I'm encouraged, especially by the amount of suppression effort going on at DU. This story is a biggie.

Why would they stop with one. And they would NEVER confirm a new VP in time.

So 52% disapprove of Snowden? Well, according to the CNN poll, 54% disapprove of Obama.

President Obama, you mean. He is the President, so use that term, please, not just "Obama".
