On the same day that journalist Glenn Greenwald urged that his security of NSA supply Edward Snowden is not any totally different than MSNBC’s safety of President Barack Obama, that community’s Lawrence O’Donnell took Snowden to job for making “provably untrue” statements during his alternative Christmas message.

“Each time he speaks, every time, he’ll say things which are absurdly, wildly overblown,” O’Donnell stated. “He says that the government is, quote, ‘watching everything we do.’ That is of course unattainable. Nobody is observing the whole lot we do. That capacity doesn’t exist.” After record off more of Snowden’s ominous warnings in regards to the surveillance state, O’Donnell stated, “I in finding it peculiar that every time he speaks he says provably untrue issues like this.”

O’Donnell’s visitor Joy Reid, who shared her personal criticisms of Greenwald on Twitter previous in the day, agreed with O’Donnell overview, noting that Snowden’s revelations “weren’t new should you learn The New York Instances.” What Snowden did was add “made up, horror story ideas that came from Edward Snowden’s personal thoughts.”

Finally, alluding to Snowden’s recommendation that we are living in an “Orwellian” society, Reid added, “to assert that this is worse than 1984 means that you never read 1984.”
