It’s time for a new news network: “The WIKI News Network” |
|
Seriously, there is so much coming out that isn’t being reported that a news agency devoted entirely to the WikiLeaks could run 24/7 and still not cover it all.
Also, after seeing Rachel Maddow’s interview with Michael Moore, such a news agency could vet the leaks for credibility (“Cuba blocked the showing of Moore’s ‘Sicko’”), as well as offer explanations and analysis from learned contributors. In essence, return to "old-style" reporting and journalism.
There's so much to learn from these leaks...
I know I'd be watching it...constantly! :applause:

1. I've been reading the updates they post on FB and twitter |
|
There are nearly a dozen cables a day released and it's a great way to follow them.

I indicated in my OP that these reports would be analyzed by learned experts who could explain the ramifications and offer analysis.
That would eliminate the "gossip" factor...

7. Great idea, it would be instantly popular. |
|
I'm guessing the FCC and the cable/sat providers would be the sticking point.
