Bad Guardian. Still concerned for Edward Snowden

On the cover of the Internet version of The Guardian on the night of July the fourth:  'Joey Chestnut downs record 69 hot dogs at Coney Island eating contest'.  Also in today's paper: 'Still bigger than One Direction' -- an article on the Backstreet Boys.  What happened to The Guardian?

I'm really concerned for Edward Snowden. As the Guardian editorial points out, he's a whistleblower, not a spy. 

As much as I support what Julian Assange has done, something about him comes across as a smarmy git. Snowden, not so much.

I'm really upset by Snowden's current statelessness.

In your 20s they say you discover that everything you learned as a kid was a lie. I'm thinking of 'Always Tell the Truth'. But only if it's a minor issue or your arse is covered.

U.S. Government also resting it's case in the Manning Trial.

White House petition to free Snowden (only open until 9 July):
