She makes some valid points. This has been extremely well executed from a media standpoint. It looks and feels "slick." But is there really a strong precedence for what a whistleblower should behave like? Could it not just be that it's a new era, when young people are more media savvy? Could it be that Snowden is mentioning his girlfriend, house, earnings etc because he's a bit narcicistic and not as a way to throw the media in that direction?

I read Wolf's piece and I would recommend others do too.
