PRISM Reporter Barton Gellman Is A Big Fat Baby

[better-dead-than-fed]

Barton Gellman is the Washington Post reporter who wrote the initial PRISM story (http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2013-06-06/news/39784046_1_prism-nsa-u-s-servers). At that time he published only 4 out of the 41 slides he received from Snowden. I asked him why he was withholding 37 slides, and he answered:


Nothing we held back was material to the privacy debate....

Yesterday the Washington Post published (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/politics/prism-collection-documents/) previously withheld PRISM slides, so I followed up with Gellman:


You had described these newly released slides as not "material to the privacy debate". Do you maintain that the newly released slides are immaterial to "the privacy debate"?

No explanation, just blocked me on Twitter.

That is a good thread about the NSA's conduct, but I saw the Washington Post's conduct as a separate issue, also interesting.

Be grateful they released anything. WaPo is part of the FASCIST media industrial complex. Gellman is just a minion who takes orders from his editor.

Also, replying too frequently gets you suspended from what I've heard.
