    Again, all media outlets claim to be beacons of transparency. They all set this bar for themselves. Everyone claims they are fair and balanced. That’s just the industry and everyone in it.

    Why, exactly, do you care that information was withheld? Are you just mad about false advertising?

      Oh come on are you seriously going to play dumb now? WikiLeaks had a very specific purpose and goal. You cannot possibly compare it to a standard news outlet. You are really stretching things here. This has become a total waste of time.

        Journalism is journalism. Trying to frame WikiLeaks as somehow different from journalism is just US propaganda and it’s the basis for Assange facing over 100 years in prison.
