RE: STEEMIT | Wikileaks - "Please Suggest Journalists To Hire And Outfits To Partner With"

in #steemit8 years ago

Followed :) I loved this idea of Wikileaks joining us! it would be great, I admire their work! But one thing I'm not so sure... why are they talking about "a powerful new media entity"; what did Assange agreed with the UK Government or deep state? I remembered seeing something about some talks between him and some intelligence agency... hum... was he told about something really mind bending we don't that made him cross to the dark side?

Sort:  

Didn't get to read much about those meetings though because I'm like 40 km from the big wildfire here in Portugal. It still burns nearby (7 km) but it's almost extinct.

The msm is crumbling pretty fast day by day. Very quickly there will be a media vacuum. This is why Assange wants to build a media entity now rather than later. WL has always been a powerful media entity unfortunately they've had no real support from the MSM. The MSM only supports WL when it suits them or when they can get a front page headline out of them. If WL can help build a MSM that is a bit more supportive of their work then I think it would do them and us a world of good.

Assange has had a lot of meetings about his release or safe passage to Ecuador recently. He had one on Monday before cancelling a balcony speech he was supposed to make. There is mounting pressure from all human rights groups to set him free. I believe we will hear good news about his release soon.
