Complete video at: fora.tv WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange responds to charges that his website presents information in a politically biased way. Assange explains that the organization provides text summaries of raw data and edits of raw video to provide context to the material, without which most content would simply “fall into the gutter” and be overlooked by most users. —– A panel of experts from the press, government, and academia discuss their new and upcoming projects.

@JangosLegacy22
It’s something NO other media outlet does.
@3122tan Actually, left/right does matter, because Assange is known to be anti-war. Probably anti-all wars. Don’t talk shit when you know shit, ok. I love our First Amendment, but this Wikileaks bullshit is a clear breach of our national security. These were top secret documents. I hope Manning (bradass87) gets put away for a long time. You really know shit. I served my time in the Marine Corps, motherfucker, in Iraq… twice, so where do you pull this zero respect for the troops from? Your ass?
Bias occurs only if you can’t ask and know about it. Some interest groups professionals may crack wikileaks but they can’t crack all wikiLeakers. wikiLeaks have a worldwide bench depth you can’t imagine.
@earwaxhalo wikileaks serve its purpose exposing predators in uniforms for money. As long as you are not on those payrolls, you have nothing to worry about. Innocent civilians must be protected first. No uniform give you any selfish excuse not giving their safety first priority. The first priority of uniformed servicemen is the safety of the civilians, not their commanders. If you don’t like the uniform, you can take off uniform, act like those selfish terrorists, and we don’t have to pay you.
Hate to say this, but Assange seems to be a CIA agent disseminating mis-information. He is gaining credibility with some “good” leaks, so that then other leaks clearly aimed at discrediting Pakistan and Turkey, will be accepted and believed. Why would he have access to a concerned and interested media while all other “Truthers” are routinely discredited or ignored.. This wikileaks story stinks to the bone.

This guys a real quirk…
Arrogant fool! This is freedom gone wrong. Freedom needs control idiot. I trust the CIA has rendition plans to make him disappear.
his suit is very good..i think very expensive
@MoronsnUtube fuck u
@Utogar84 Fuck you too SOB. Fucks like you think you know better.
@joel1923 Let’s get this treasonous fuckwit Assange… and cut his ball off…
@MoronsnUtube
Wow, thanks for making me laugh. HAHAHA that was a good one. I almost fell for it.
Its funny, all these people saying they are outraged at America for the Iraqi people…
Where the fuck was their “outrage” when the Iraqi people was being mass murdered by Saddam! The truth, you dont give two shits about these people! Your just anti-Americans who try and spin everything to support your own bias beliefs.
@JangosLegacy22
yea, they drop the “full, raw source” weeks after they release a bias editorial named “Collateral Murder”. Even Juilian said that only 1 out of 9 people who watched their edited version, watched the full source. Further more, he admitted that they edited their video to get “Maximum political impact”! How is that not propaganda!
Dont believe me, click my name link and watch my “Collateral Murder” video!
Julian Assange is a hero – exposing the truth to people that are being lied to by governments and people that are in authority!! Good on him, he needs to be sainted, knighted and canonised for all that he has done – he is awesome!!
This man is a saint fighting the minions of Satan.
Watch: TERRORSTORM
Julian Assange, YOU ARE A SAINT.
loose lips suck dicks
@reddogloc so when Saddam mass murdered his people, he was hunted down in his own country, brought to trial and was hanged to death. now shouldn’t the same thing be done to the president/politicians that did these same kinds of mass murdering?
When you’re done with the US and British armies can you get to work on the Russians, Serbs, Chinese, North Koreans, and South American Armies? At least get them to give civil awards the way the Americans do, when people die. Maybe those eastern european mass rapes could be decreased and the ethnic cleansing, you know…take it down a notch. Thanks Juli!
@hinderblinder
Any one who is responsible for war crimes like mass murdering civilians… yes, they should hang. Look, Im not a Bush fan… and I think we should be out of Iraq. But Im not against us going their in the first place. We should have done it in the 90’s.
The WMD’s was bullshit, but it did allow us to go in and stop the genocide and disband the Bath party. Im for that. But we shouldn’t still be there. Its not for us to create their government, that’s something they need to do!
Thank you for doing what you are doing. I agree you are an hero.
“The method is transparency, the goal is justice. Part of the method is journalism.”
@reddogloc Yes, it is a bias editorial like most of the news in all mainstream information media. At least he is admitting it, saying they want to get a “Maximum political impact”. It is better than pretending you are objective when you are not. I cannot remember CNN or FOX ever admitted it.
But your main problem is not Wikileaks is all those soldiers that think they are doing right by giving away all this information. Make you think, are they now traitors? or still heroes?
@manoo205
No, I dont think they are traitors. I think they made a terrible mistake. But for some smug son of a bitch who has never been shot at… or be forced to kill or be killed, to call them murders! Thats outrageous! And for people to call this man a hero, thats a crime.
Put yourself in the shoes of the gunner. They had been instructed that these men were insurgence. They mistaken a camera for a RPG, I would have done the same. If the camera men had on the blue press vest it would happen.
