Snowden and the Washington Post

2016-09-23 00:40:44.432398+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

What's going on with Ed Snowden and the Washington Post? quotes Barton Gellman:

... In this case I have on good authority that neither the publisher, Fred Ryan, nor the owner, Jeff Bezos, had any idea that this editorial was coming. I would be very surprised to learn that either of them agrees with the proposition that our principal stories on the NSA should not have been published. For sure I can tell you that this is not the position of the newsroom’s leadership or any reporter I know. Marty Baron, the executive editor, has said again and again how proud he is of the paper’s coverage of Ed Snowden and the NSA.
