13-06-24 Snowden to Venezuela - China criticizes lame US media

It's only understandable, that China is not ready, willing, able to comprehend what true US-made Due Process is...  The Chinese are so far behind...  
The case shows nations around the globe (western Europe, except Iceland, never mentioned) engaging in coordinated efforts to humiliate the US in yet another incident of international relations stupidity, if nothihn else.  jz

Yet another report from Xinhua news agency blasted the U.S. mainstream media for its coverage of Snowden's NSA surveillance leaks:
"Ironically, quite a few mainstream US media outlets have given wide coverage to people like former vice-president Dick Cheney, former NSA and CIA director Michael Hayden, and National Intelligence director James Clapper, while the surveillance program's critics can be heard only on channels such as Russia Today, Al Jazeera, and Democracy Now."
...
"Many mainstream media outlets have spent more time and shown more interest in digging into Snowden's personal life than challenging whether the NSA program is a violation of privacy and civil liberties, which should be the main debate.
That Snowden said he did not believe he would get a fair trial in the US should not come as a surprise. The national security campaign and patriotic brainwashing going on in the US since 2001 mean that he would be sentenced way before a trial began.
Snowden said he landed in Hong Kong not to hide from justice, but to expose a grave crime. He also said that the greatest honor for an American is to be called a "traitor" by Dick Cheney. That is the kind of guts the mainstream media need to cover Snowden's case in a national security state."
