“According to WikiLeaks…”


It is interesting to note how often the phrase “according to cables released by WikiLeaks…” appears in US news reports these days, even as the US media try to portray WikiLeaks as some kind of rogue outfit. This is because WikiLeaks is simultaneously showing up the major US media as being really lousy journalists while providing them with invaluable information that enables them to do their jobs better. It must be really sticking in their craw to have to give WikiLeaks credit.

There is no question in my mind that WikiLeaks has done us all a huge service.

    Stunning to me that most Americans don’t even seem to catch the irony of such citations.

    Thanks for the post.
