60 Minutes has gone off the rails (NSA Propaganda)

I've been watching the 60 Minutes report tonight on the NSA, and it seems they haven't learned anything from their recent Laura Logan Benghazi incident.
CBS assigned former FBI spokesman John Miller to get "inside" the NSA. So far, it has been nothing but a puff piece talking about the wonderful things the agency does. Lots of smart, young people. Lots of secrets about foreign threats that need to be protected. Yadda yadda. In addition, they have gone out of their way to portray Edward Snowden as a less than intelligent pervert, who would use his computer at home under a sheet to hide from his girlfriend and who cheated on his NSA employment exam.
Maybe I'm just in a bad mood, but I had to stop watching.
If you are worried about being perceived as biased, you don't use somebody who used to work inside the US Government intelligence community to report on the US government intelligence community. Sure, he may have better connections than other reporters, but these people he is interviewing are also friends and former colleagues.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Miller_(journalist)
Quote:
John Miller is an American journalist and a former government official. He is the former Associate Deputy Director of National Intelligence for Analytic Transformation and Technology.[1] Prior to that, he was an Assistant Director of Public Affairs for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), where he was the bureau's national spokesman. Miller is also a former ABC News reporter and anchorman, perhaps best known for conducting a May 1998 interview with Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan.[2][3]
(Since this is about transparency, in a way, I should disclose that my former roommate's parents both worked at the NSA... They actually met there lol)
