> The public have been sold a lie. Just like the “Patriot Act” was just to keep everybody free and protect people from terrorists.

The public tend to believe what they've been informed and the press tend to be inept when it comes to Gov surveillance.

The history of editors and journalists is 1) they reprint Gov Natsec claims w/o analysis or a single thought about Gov's history and 2) will only report surveillance wrongdoing when their nose has been dragged to it and they've been booted from behind.

And to clarify here, NatSec and Child Safety are just different food colors in the same poisonous water.



There’s some irony here about being a journalist yet not even considering individual privacy. Seems indicative of a missing journalistic quality lol
