You will most likely derive the most benefit from it, then.

mswas: since I don't follow NYC happenings on even a daily basis, you need to specify your parks. When you say park and live in NYC, I assume Central Park. We rubes unlucky enough to not live in the City of Enlightenment are so ignorant that way. Forgive me, but I believe Assange operates out of Europe, not any park in NYC. I am obviously missing some pieces to this puzzle, but just going by what you have posted here, it seems that you are saying that --well, I'm not altogether sure. Let's review:

Since this thread's topic is WIKILEAKS, I assumed you meant the fine people employed at their Department of Truth and Justice. So, like I said--are you conflating the two groups: Occupiers and Wikileaks people? You say no. Seems like you still are to me-WHO is operating out of Zuttifrutti park? And what are they doing, besides harassing the good people who are employed at various bank branches?

Plus, where did you get the notion that journalism is unedited, unprocessed, decontextualized information? Journalism exists for several reasons, one of them being the delivery of concise, timely information in a format that is comprehensible to the reader. Wikileaks is not that, not by a long shot. I'll be the first to agree with you that a LOT of current journalism sucks, but what wikileaks does is NOT journalism.
