Cryptome commented on the blog post NYT’s Selective Press Prosecution Outrage Doesn’t Include WikiLeaks
Wikileaks and Julian Assange have not claimed to be journalism, instead journalism has been derided as ineffectual and cowardly. Recent efforts to gain a shield of journalism should not be seen as a change of mind about the intent of the initiative, rather a shrewd ruse to use journalism as a front by fostering its pretentious self-importance. The WL ruse is working quite well, not only by such as Greenwald and other exploiters of Wikileaks running their own ruses for the promotional purposes, but for the re-invigoration of tired blood over-commercialised journalists desperate to reclaim public support, that is to convince advertisers that their customers have not lost interest in news, breaking news, headlines, investigative journalims, celebrity op-eds, reader complaints and endless repetitions of child abuse, drug abuse, sex abuse, gun abuse, racial abuse, anti-semitic abuse, cop abuse, priest abuse, political party abuse, lobbyist abuse, congressional abuse, presidential abuse, warmaking abuse, wounded warrior abuse, mortgage abuse, climate change abuse, totalitarian abuse, drone assassination abuse, with occasional reports of unusual human decency hardly worth exaggerating to the level of screeching eyeballs.
