I think they are better than the status quo of institutionalized media who or are as much a part of the problems we face now.
True enough in general sentiment, but they still have the major role to play and still sometimes manage to do what they should do, like making their own decision to release some of these cables.
Funny how those exact media who have also published leaked documents that have NOT been released on the Wikileaks site are not being hounded much if at all. Yet they have done the exact same thing as Wikileaks.
Is anyone calling for the New York Times or The Australian editors to be assassinated too?
Although there is some mild rumbling in this regard, the traditional press will get away with it because there would be rioting in the streets if the government took them down. Wikileaks and Julian Assange are a much easier target.
Proves that the US government and officials are nothing but frightened bullies.
Our freedom it's important.. No vital.
Indeed.
Those who can't look beyond the wikileaks cables and understand the heart of the issue are simply blind to this.
