Brilliant framing of a complex topic by John Oliver. Why should people care about NSA spying on American citizens? This video combines interviews with people on the street with an in-person discussion between John Oliver and Edward Snowden in Russian. The reframing: dick pics.
I felt a bit badly that he had to give Snowden such a hard time in the beginning, but Snowden was happily able to roll with the punches and help get the point across. Great TV.
Mike: I squirmed in the early going too, but no one can accuse him of playing patsy with Snowden, and I liked the answer Snowden gave to the early questions. That’s actually some good journalism mixed in with the comedy.
John Oliver is the best thing we have from the UK ever! Awe-freaking-some interview!
I watched both “Snowden” and “Citizen Four”
I saw Citizen Four first and it was awesome. It is a documentary about Glenn Greenwald and stars the Real Snowden. (A must see for the DI crowd.)

“Snowden” the movie was highly entertaining, but more of a hollywood movie rather than documentary.
