Shorter ABC News: "Rah, Rah, NSA!"

You probably have heard, by now, that the NSA was collecting tens of thousands of emails illegally and then misrepresenting, time and again, what it had done to the FISA Court. The FISA Court found the NSA's actions unconstitutional, if not outright criminal.

That's not the flavor of the story that you'd get from ABC News, which lauds the NSA for finding a problem, disclosing it and heroically fixing it.

So, well done to the stenographers at ABC News, for putting the NSA's spin on this story.
