1. Investigative journalism lacks money??

What planet is he on? There's plenty of financial support, foundations, grants, nonprofits, etc. scratching out huge checks for the effort... Glenn Greenwald (to cite an example) is sitting on $250 million... God knows how much Assange has squirreled away...

Although I do admire the irony of calling out income inequality in one hand, and complaining about lack of funding for investigative reporting projects (hint: they ain't funded by us 99 percenters) on the other.

The media ownership consolidation is nothing new... Folks like me warned everybody back in the 90s this was exactly what would happen, and few listened and even less cared...
