3. Should have made the leaks available to many websites
Edited on Wed Dec-08-10 11:13 AM by howaboutme
Why didn't Wikileaks do a broad disbursement of the data to numerous websites instead of allowing the corrupt US MSM to control the information flow? The consolidated USA media remains as the enemy to democracy. We know how they manipulate and work, and how they typically cover up news that they don't want disbursed to Americans. As an example the MSM deliberately worked to tone down if not cover up the Wall Street shenanigans, so that Americans would not be informed and thus not incensed. They protected those in their establishment cabal i.e. "circle of trust" (Meet the Fokers)

5. Anyone can access the documents. The media doesn't control them.
The media outlets were given advanced access.

6. Yep! IMO most Americans go around with a bag over their head getting
propaganda from MSM and being dumbed down to lower depths each day. Now they're working to stranglehold the Internet. For a country that brags about its freedom of the press to other countries, it is quite contrived and controlled in the US.

Sadly IMO most Americans flip on the TV to the dumbed down MSM news and/or listen to RW talk radio, about all you can get, and think that's the real news.

Hell, there are so many that think Beck is the pillar of honesty and integrity for reporting. Until the ignorance of this country and the proudness of ignorance is cleaned up, IMO truthfulness in MSM will fall yet to new lows.

I think most other media sources in the US would have refused to cover Wikileaks with a broad disbursement of the data.

This is a country where many believe my country right or wrong. Freedom in this country each day is restricted more and more and the lemmings and lambs go willingly to the slaughter. Meanwhile, the rest of the world will walk right past the US and our ignorance.
