Editorial on those "real" journalists:

The willingness of leading media outlets to amplify clear falsehoods highlights their true allegiances

Take a fucking step out of your little shells, and take a look at the bigger picture.

Since we're all not smart enough to see the one true objective reality that is clear to you, perhaps a small dose of explaining what the ƒuck you are even talking about could go to great lengths?

I'm not referring to all comments here.
I saw a wikileaks thread here, so i got all excited, entered, to find comments against wikileaks, and against Assange.
What more is needed to be said on my behalf?
I'm not going to enter a debate about this.
No argument can be made against Assange and what he's doing.
I see the word Treason?
How retarded does someone have to be to use that word in this discussion?
So yeah, i'm not planning on having a debate with the mentally handicapped.

Woah other people have different opinions than you!? Get the fuck outta town.

If you're done uselessly crying and calling people "retards" instead of contributing, feel free to step in with some rational points that can be debated. Otherwise go cry somewhere else.

If this discussion revolves around treason, then no, as i said, I'm not interested in having a debate with the mentally handicapped.
Why don't we put American people an trial for treason against Iraq or Afghanistan.
We can't? I wonder why.....

As far as I could tell in this thread only the Fox News moron quoted in post 121 called him a traitor. All the other references were to his source.

I hold no ego, no pride in race, nation or species.

Before you start screaming about what idiots are saying in a thread, you might want to read what those 'idiots' have actually posted.

I noticed today that the Washington Post is referring to WikiLeaks as "anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks."

The Post seems to not want to extend the label of "press" to WikiLeaks.

The official warned students at his alma mater, the Columbia School of International and Public Affairs, via an email from the school’s Office of Career Services on Tuesday.
Flint, I believe that warning was withdrawn within a day or two afterwards.
(I'm pretty sure I posted the retraction here, but I haven't found it again today... I'll keep looking)

Even if it were not withdrawn, how do you feel about it "
Is it acceptable for an official would make such a directive as the voice of the government ?


I guess I did not post the retraction, but here is the link to it

Officials at Columbia have argued they are merely passing on relevant information, while
Quote:
the State Department has denied any federal involvement in the school's guidance.
