i admit, it is impressive. but revolution usually qualifies by discernible results. you have the start of something great indeed.

public discourse,on issues buried far too long, the secrets are revealing themselves and the truth is not that pretty..The ones hoarding the 500 trillion dollars are very nervous,losing their grip,people are not so willing to take the bribe,whistleblowing even with threat of death over their head,Thanks for standing up people..We Will Overcome..

I guess real journalism isn't what it used to be. We now have two types of Journalists. Those who remember that it's about reporting to the people the news, and there are the spin artists.

I leave to the average man to figure out which is which. Hint: It's those who risk their necks and burn the midnight oil to find out the facts.

idolize much. there are sh!t heads in every industry. journalism is also not a leadership position. that is why "spinning" a story is poor journalism, it attempts to give direction rather than allowing one to freely chose their own based on the facts.

Hell no. I don't like the what passes as reporting these days. I mean when I am stuck going online to find out for myself what's really going on, that I have to go to bloggers and youtubers to see raw footage made by amateurs who actually reveal what's going on as opposed to "professional" journalists, I think it's a sad day for their profession.

Someone should censor the new topics introduced so we do not lose our time.

Are you mental? Free speech includes the speech of idiots, trolls, and even those we disagree with. It's his right to believe this non-sense, just it is our right to explain it why it doesn't work!
