Amazing! Half The Front-Page NYT Stories Today Are Based On Wikileaks Info!!
As the MSM tries to distinguish what *they do* from what *Assange does,* it is almost humorous to realize that half the stories plastered across their front pages are based on info garnered from the cables leaked by Assange.

Is that fucked up, or what?

2. New form of journalism is trying to be born... open source so that readers can verify facts and
evaluate the work of journalists and publishers....

3. I personally really enjoy it when a tv person refers to a Wikileek.

4. Well, let's be thankful that they remember what to do when they've got a scoop.

5. So they've become factory outlet malls? Little distribution outlets,
no wonder they're trying to protect their brand.

6. Not leaked by Assange, published by Assange.
It's an important distinction.
