"There is nothing wrong with your Snowden News. Do not attempt to adjust the information flow. I am controlling transmission. If I wish to make him louder, I will tweak his nose. If I wish to make him softer, I will whisper sweet nothings into his ear. I will control the data release. I will control public opinion. I can make him roll his eyes, make his heart flutter. I can change his focus to his fiance or sharpen his innocent smile to crystal clarity. For the next 20 years, sit quietly and I will control all that you see and hear about Snowden. I repeat: there is nothing wrong with your Snowden News. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the NSA to – The Outer Siberian Peninsula." -Glenn Greenwald.
