Edward Snowden's FOPF says that self-described "reverse chauvinist" for Russia, #mattydickpics, should be able to lie to Congress even after he admits he lied on TV.
This is not about being a journalist. It's about refusing to correct admitted lies to Congress.

I'm not sure why @theintercept editor @ryangrim is going to the mat to protect #mattydickpics' refusal to correct claims he admitted were false claims on TV.
But it suggests The Intercept thinks journos should enjoy a LOWER standard of truth than other Congressional witnesses.

To be VERY clear: Stacey Plaskett basically wrote #MattyDickPics a letter that said, "You admitted you made false claims to HJC on TV, would you like to correct the record?" and now @ryangrim is trying to pretend this is a press issue, rather than a basic honesty issue.
Oops!!
Now these boys, in the spirit of transparency, are blocking like mad for fear their groupies will see that they are lying about what #mattydickpics did, and how they're defending Matty's right to lie to Congress.
