Audience
The targeted audience would be people who value ethics and privacy. The NSA spying on American citizens just violates every sense of privacy someone may want. There are those who don't really care, but this article is targeted at those who want to keep their texts, emails, or phone calls to themselves. They believe that it is none of the government's business to go in and read their personal messages just to see if that person is a terrorist. The audience would believe that Snowden is unethical as the NSA. McManus claims that Snowden should not be treated as a hero because he also leaked documents that could potentially harm the United States. This would make the audience wary of the danger that Snowden could cause.
