DO YOU AGREE WITH U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT THAT AMERICAN CITIZENS HAVE NO RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH WHEN THEY SAY SO?
Tensions are high as NSA leaker Edward Snowden officially submitted an application for temporary asylum in Russia on Tuesday.
After Russian and international human rights advocates and lawyers met with Snowden at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport on Friday, the US said it was disappointed in Russia for considering the whistleblower’s asylum.
MUST WATCH VIDEO: If you have not watched the video above, do it now!
You see, during a daily press briefing State Department spokeswoman, Jen Psaki was given a thorough grilling on the Snowden affair by journalists, including AP’s Matthew Lee and CNN’s Elise Labott, and was left lost for words at almost every turn.
In my view, this is really the first true time in over a decade the mainstream press core has stepped out of its embedded corporate-induced sleep and actually grilled a government official over their totalitarian disposition.
But this is not even about Snowden. This is about all of us? Do we want our government to decide who can have free speech and who cannot? Who do they think they are? Do we control our government or do they control us?
So what do you think? Did you watch the above video in full? Post your comments!
