RE: "They're a Bad Influence:" A Tail of Insulting Intelligence, Nurturing Dependence, and Justifying Censorship
"A reminder: every reporter who gleefully trafficked in stolen emails via wikileaks abetted a crime. Not illegal activity by itself but unethical and immoral." How about the people who accessed the Collateral Murder video that was released by Wikileaks from Chelsea Manning? It opened the eyes of many to the crimes committed by the US government in Iraq. Who was unethical and immoral? The leaker and the viewer of the leak or the government that placed helicopters in another land to kill at will its citizens? What's next Wikileaks, what's next Wikileaks, what's next? What do the powers that be have in store for Assange? My blood runs cold just thinking of their plans.
By the way, nice post. Sorry I've been distracted by work and the crazy update fiasco on Steemit. It took days before I could finally post a chapter of Wackos. Thanks for the upvote!
No problem. I have been on here a little less for the past week or two too so I know how it goes.
Yeah that update is still kind of screwing with things but the patch fixed some of the issues. I still think posts and comments are a little too costly in the amount of reward credits that they use but that is supposedly going to fix itself at some point.
Yeah, I thought that quote was pretty stupid lol. If someone tells me the truth about something, I don't really care how they got the information. It doesn't seem like a moral question at all. It's like she is trying to shame the press for for doing what it's actually supposed to do.
