WikiLeaks is a right wing website, PERIOD

[Jim Lane]

31. I've read this entire thread and there's one huge omission

There's not a single post proving or even suggesting a single instance in which a Wikileaks leak was false.

The most I've seen is that maybe Wikileaks doesn't always tell the complete story. Well, duh, Assange and his helpers would like to have access to every secret document, but they don't, so there's room for some selection bias in what they get their hands on.

It's also conceivable (which I italicize to stress that there's no evidence for this hypothesis) that, of the important information it does get, Wikileaks doesn't release items that don't fit a preconceived agenda. That doesn't mean that information it releases is inaccurate. It's true as far as it goes. It means only that with Wikileaks, as with any other source, you have to bear in mind that there may be more to the story.

In general, if governments or other entities embarrassed by a Wikileaks disclosure thought there was an outright falsehood, or thought that there were missing facts that put their conduct in a less unfavorable light, they would be free to issue such a refutation. My recollection is that no Wikileaks disclosure has been subjected to such substantive criticism that turned out to have any merit. That's undoubtedly part of reason for the ad hominem attacks on Assange.
