The Sunday Times’ Snowden Story is Journalism at its Worst – and Filled with Falsehoods

The whole article does literally nothing other than quote anonymous British officials. It gives voice to banal but inflammatory accusations that are made about every whistleblower from Daniel Ellsberg to Chelsea Manning. It offers zero evidence or confirmation for any of its claims. The "journalists" who wrote it neither questioned any of the official assertions nor even quoted anyone who denies them. It s pure stenography of the worst kind: some government officials whispered these inflammatory claims in our ears and told us to print them, but not reveal who they are, and we re obeying. Breaking!

Why the secret criminal investigation of WikiLeaks is troubling for journalists

Trevor Timm, co-founder of the Freedom of the Press Foundation, argued in 2013 that "virtually every move made by the Justice Department against WikiLeaks has now also been deployed on mainstream US journalists." For example, the Department of Justice tried to secretly subpoena information from the Twitter accounts of WikiLeaks staffers more than two years before the Associated Press found the same thing had been done to its phone records.

WikiLeaks, Pakistan and the Ghost of Vietnam

What's said about sausage and journalism must also be true of foreign policy: that if you knew how it was produced, you wouldn't want to consume it. I'm certainly disgusted and alarmed to learn from WikiLeaks via Dawn.com that U.S. special operations forces deployed secretly on joint operations with Pakistani troops as early as 2009, but I'm not surprised. Are you?

Journalism vs. WikiLeaks

David Corn has a piece today about a Pakistani businessman who owns several pharmacies in New York City and has been fingered by a Guantanamo detainee as a "possible al-Qaida anthrax operative." So is he? Nobody knows. Maybe the Gitmo detainee was just making stuff up. Maybe it's already been exhaustively investigated and the guy has been cleared. Or maybe he really did have al-Qaeda ties at one time. The Pakistani guy can't be reached, and there's no evidence one way or the other about this aside from the detainee report, so it's impossible to say.

WikiLeaks and Glenn Beck show that journalism is becoming more influential – but also more reductive.

In the past year, journalism, which in the West sees itself as beset by decline, has vastly increased its power. Three large developments have made the implicit, yet huge, claim that journalism, our way of knowing what is happening in our complex world, is essentially a matter of competing high-decibel political dispute and total transparency.

The merger of journalists and government officials

Kevin Poulsen and Kim Zetter of Wired reported that a 22-year-old U.S. Army Private in Iraq, Bradley Manning, had been detained after he "boasted" in an Internet chat -- with convicted computer hacker Adrian Lamo -- of leaking to WikiLeaks the now famous Apache Helicopter attack video, a yet-to-be-published video of a civilian-killing air attack in Afghanistan, and "hundreds of thousands of classified State Department records."

The worsening journalistic disgrace at Wired

For more than six months, Wired's Senior Editor Kevin Poulsen has possessed -- but refuses to publish -- the key evidence in one of the year's most significant political stories: the arrest of U.S. Army PFC Bradley Manning for allegedly acting as WikiLeaks' source.

Larry Flynt Why I Am Donating $50,000 to WikiLeaks’ Defense Fund

Let's get something straight: Julian Assange is a journalist. You can argue that he is not practicing journalism the way you think it should be practiced -- releasing classified U.S. State Department documents -- but he's a journalist nonetheless. And for many of us he's a hero.

WikiLeaks Thoughts

WikiLeaks may be no more or less perfect than other media entities. Freedom of the press and of speech are often messy. But these rights are crucial, enshrined and protected as our most fundamental principles and practices. The First Amendment is there to establish that it is not the job of the media in a democratic society to protect those in power from embarrassment or exposure. Thus, even when we are faced with what may we think of as bad press or speech, we must avoid responding with censorship -- the cure must not be worse than the disease.

The War to Silence WikiLeaks

Much of the mainstream U.S. news media has sought to distance itself from WikiLeaks over its disclosure of classified records about the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and various diplomatic initiatives. The argument goes that WikiLeaks is not a real journalistic entity and thus undeserving of legal protections covering real journalists.

The strange and consequential case of Bradley Manning, Adrian Lamo and WikiLeaks

From the start, this whole story was quite strange for numerous reasons. In an attempt to obtain greater clarity about what really happened here, I've spent the last week reviewing everything I could related to this case and speaking with several of the key participants.
