BBC Newsnight's exclusive interview with journalist Glenn Greenwald about Edward Snowden, the PRISM revelations, and mass surveillance by the NSA and GCHQ.
Why Hacker News points people here: Mostly cited as a reference to Greenwald's statements, such as his comments on press freedom, rather than recommended outright.

Greenwald on press freedom in the US
Full comment
Greenwald's been asked, given how things seem to be, whether he would set things up outside the US. ISTR he stated that the Constitution (and First Amendment) still exist and the US is the most appropriate place for the NewCo. I think it was in an interview with Kirsty Wark for Newsnight. EDIT: I misremembered the exact words as he actually comments on press freedom in the US. Here's the point in the interview. this video
“Both are establishment mouthpieces, while one is quite blatant and the other more subtle.”

> This is bbc news, not fox news. I expect better. Seeing how bbc 'news' have covered the NSA scandal so far [1] I would no longer say there's much difference between bbc and fox. Both are establishment mouthpieces, while one is quite blatant and the other more subtle. You could perhaps argue that fox 'news' spectators are mostly clueless brainwashed Americans while bbc 'news' still has a strong following among all levels of English society. [1] this video
