Edward Snowden Affair

- Full article: Edward Snowden Affair
The Guardian's Glenn Greenwald was reportedly contacted by Edward Snowden seeking to publish the documents he had obtained while working at the NSA. In testimony before Britain's Parliament, the editor Alan Rusbridger stated that of the 58,000 files obtained from Edward Snowden only "about 1 percent" had published. He added: "I would not expect us to be publishing a huge amount more."[1]
Controlled Media
In 2014, the Guardian fired Nafeez Ahmed, a widely respected critic of the "war on terror". This was interpreted by some as further indication that the paper is a form of controlled opposition, that while it tolerates certain anti-establishment views, it is in fact no more free than other members of the commercially-controlled media to fundamentally challenge official narratives.[2]
