WIkiLeaks has been all over the media for the time it come out till even now. Some reporters have noticed a cirtian trend in the top news reports which is that more attention to the creator Julian Assange rather than the actual papers and documents that he has released.
Why is it that more are paying attention to him rather than the documents? Could it be that the government itself is using him to try and hide the papers and documents away again? Julian Assange simply walked out of an interview once he realized that the entire interview was focused on him rather than the documents that he made public.
The Work that Assange made public has effected the US in many different ways. One way is that it has made some trust our governemtn less and some more. It has exposed our "secret ways" to other countries and to our own country, even though most I would think already knew that the government wasn't telling us everything (watch 24 it will fill ya in on government secrets to protect the public and mass chaos) But in the end who's decision it is to make whether what WikiLeaks is/has exposed is a good or bad thing and why must we find some one specific to blame for it why can't we simply just blame our own government as a whole.
In the end I feel that one of the main reasons that we have to find someone to blame other than a general governemtn is becuase the media is constantly feeding the public with information. When there is a raffic accident they announce specifically who's fault it was so the public is used to having a single person to point a finger at rather than a group. So in the end it is journalism and the medias fault for Julian Assange having the finger pointed at him over WikiLeaks.
