Five-year-old Cannon Hinnant's life mattered. Does the media agree?

Because it seems like if they did, they would have non-stop coverage of his funeral the same way they did for George Floyd, right?

Re The list of people who have called for @snowden to be pardoned is long and varied. No matter your feelings on Trump, a Snowden pardon would be a major win for those who care about fighting back against mass surveillance in the digital age. https://www.standwithsnowden.com/supporters.html https://twitter.com/FreedomofPress/status/1294296867547873280 #Snowden #Trump

Edward @snowden is a whistleblower who exposed unconstitutional surveillance practices that violated the rights of millions. He deserves the opportunity to return to the United States and receive a pardon as part of a fair process that examines his actions.

If @realdonaldtrump truly wants to send a message about problems with secret FBI and NSA surveillance, he should pardon @snowden https://reason.com/2020/08/14/trump-teases-possible-edward-snowden-pardon-he-should-do-it/ https://twitter.com/reason/status/1294319900081545216 #Snowden #FBI #NSA #Trump
