So that makes it an unfair or inaccurate way to say it? It’s just a slightly more critical view of the same set of facts IMO.

Well, the NSA was the one who took the information that they weren’t filtering to the court. The court didn’t swoop down and intervene, they reported and the court made a ruling.

The Wired article is better than most in that they give the absolute figures— 56,000 emails. It’s not terrible. But disinformation is so rife on this that I think Wired should be correcting misperceptions a lot more than they are— NPR should be too, for that matter.
