       | The article seems neutral about Snowden, but this
       | characterization of events is bad reporting.
       | 
       | He did not fly with the intent of staying in Russia. He was
       | grounded and his passport revoked by the US gov. mid travel,
       | stranding him in Russia, in the airport, for over a month.
       | 
       | Eventually Russia granted him long term status there.
