Snowden is a story too. As someone who considers him a hero, and one of the rare few who I can relate to, I'd like to know more about him views so that I can learn from him. That's not irrational, unless you think biographies are a waste.

In this regard, I wonder if any potential underhanded focus on character rather than message in the media might have the ironic effect of empowering more young people. "You can do good and be brave even if you play WoW".

The thing is, most of the stories are not him coming off as a a hero, but as a dropout, a weirdo, and generally someone who didnt fit in. They are not positive biographies but more subtle character assassinations.
