(11,789 posts)but i might disagree on this one (i am honestly not sure yet)
my heart dropped to the floor when i first heard the same guy that let wiki leaks be defunded had hired glenn
he could of promised anything but you know how it goes once you are relying on your employer, that employer has control wether it is spoken or not
with all the talent the new news venture has gathered they are in a position to stop investigative journalism as we know it
that is one side of the coin, the other is, no one could get the info out with out money and power so we have to rely on some 1 %er
the questions sibel brings are worth thinking about...here we are a year into this and still info is trickling out
i am sure that was by plan since the wiki dumps by manning made news for a couple of days and then the ptb were able to change the message...i think that was the reason for the slow roll out but who knows
i know sibel and respect her but she was treated so badly by the ptb about the info she tried to make public i think she is a little shell shocked (as many of us are that have fought the corruption for years)
i am debating myself with this post...anyway here is the quote that ends sibel's article...
Please do not get me wrong here. I have no questions but answers when it comes to the checkbook opportunist in question. I have known about him for years, long before this NSA episode. What I dont have is an answer when it comes to the NSA whistleblower in question. I have been sitting on the fence on this one. Unlike my own whistleblower members, I do not know this guy. I dont. I have never corresponded with him, and he has never reached out to me or my organization. I keep going from silently cheering and supporting him, to doubting what he is all about. I have never seen a case like this. I dont think anyone has. However, in light of the case of our checkbook journalist, Mainstream Publishers mega million book deals, Mainstream Hollywoods mega studio deals, Mainstream Media backing and showcasing, and Mega Corporations mega millions getting involved
and in all this, zero retaliation or interference from our mega government known for being ruthless on whistleblowers, I just dont get this case. - See more at: http://www.boilingfrogspost.com/2013/12/08/checkbook-journalism-leaking-to-the-highest-bidders/#sthash.7pFqIKpX.dpuf
