In the past, information was passed to trusted reporters because the media was trusted.  A lot of what Wikileaks is reporting now is that the media is coordinating with the same people that these leaks are about in the first place.  In other words, the media isn&amp;#x27;t trustworthy.  So it&amp;#x27;s a choice, put it out whole, or take a real risk that it&amp;#x27;ll never see the light of day.  You could argue that Wikileaks could be doing its own editing to redact sensitive irrelevant information, but then they&amp;#x27;re curating the content and are open to criticism regarding whether they&amp;#x27;re editing with a bias.&lt;p&gt;I get it, I don&amp;#x27;t like that innocent people&amp;#x27;s information is out there.  However, it&amp;#x27;s a hard choice that Wikileaks is making there in how to put the information out there.  It&amp;#x27;s not as simple as running it through reporters, because you don&amp;#x27;t know if you can trust them.&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t think it&amp;#x27;s a political mess, though.  You only really hear that when the information casts the &amp;quot;liberals&amp;quot; in a bad light.  It&amp;#x27;s a lot easier to rip Wikileaks when it&amp;#x27;s a matter of national security, but in this case, it&amp;#x27;s fairly evident we had a biased primary and the media was complicit in that.</text><parent_chain><item><author>dvcc</author><text>WikiLeaks is becoming a political mess with Assange leading the charge.&lt;p&gt;The philosophy that all information should be public is just absurd.

Before that, it was pretty much all praise. Now, it turns out one of their informant may have been the victim of political assassination and you focus on the fact that they released a conversation of a dad and his daughter, which is of course a blunder but still, compared to the other potential news... Not that I want to see Trump win of course, but I don&amp;#x27;t want to give a free pass to the other side either.&lt;p&gt;edit: grammar</text><parent_chain><item><author>dvcc</author><text>WikiLeaks is becoming a political mess with Assange leading the charge.&lt;p&gt;The philosophy that all information should be public is just absurd.
