Candid headlining in the heartland of Europe: NSA economic spying
German broadcaster NRD has done a video interview with Snowden, in which he says the NSA is fully engaged in economic espionage. Yes, I know that everybody does it. Still, this news is headlining in Belgium and Germany. It did here in Flanders at noon and it did tonight, at which point they had widened the coverage to include a roundup of NSA revelations. I think you'll understand it without speaking dutch, and I think it's worth seeing how it's covered here.
Is the US TV MSM anywhere near equally candid?
Remember that Belgium is at the heart of Europe.
