Open Letter to the NY Post: Snowden is a Hero, Not a Traitor (tsaoutofourpants.wordpress.com)

While I suppose I admire the effort, attempting to logic or reason with the New York Post is kind of a waste of time. They sell newspapers but putting sensationalist headlines with a ridiculous right leaning bias on their cover every day.

I'm not sure their are too many people living in New York who'd consider the Post an accurate source of 'news.' I do find reading their headline pretty entertaining most days though.


Defeatism gets us nowhere, though.


There's a reason the paper only goes for a quarter, not much journalism takes place at the New York Post.


It's sad that the front page is simply an opinion piece masquarading as news, and a poorly formed opinion at that. Even if you don't like what he did, there's no evidence that he's a traitor (someone who's intent was to help a foreign power) or a spy (someone who, on behalf of another foreign power, conducted surveillance).


Great post! For posterity: On #3, change "wats" to wants. On “reason these programs were secret”, looks like unnecessary quotes.


The Post is a huge joke. It's trash. But it's nice there is a response to their poisonous rant.
