This is a disgusting piece of propaganda, a rant full of name-throwing, misconstructed straw men arguments and easily spotted lies. I can see no reason to have this low level pseudo journalism in HN other than talking about how low are they willing to go.
I agree that it is written a bit casually, but can you explain what the "easily spotted lies" and the misconstructed arguments are? Also, who is "they"?
I know this is not on the official line of most articles that make it to the frontpage, but I thought a different perspective that tries to analyse the motives of Snowden's helpers might be interesting.
