This last post lacks clarity. As in, I don't understand what it means, or
what the numbers are reporting. It could do with a few more sentences explaining
what the metrics represent.
Cryptome:
The intent was to show a sample of who is benefiting from the WikiLeaks saga,
pro, con, neutral. A theme we have been pursuing for quite a while.
As WL claims it is struggling for funding many others are making out like
bandits, hi-jacking its material and controversy while it fights to survive.
WL has long made the same argument but cannot fend off the hyenas of support,
opposition and indifference who take none of the risks.
To be sure some critics claim WL does that to its sources, and to the extent
it prefers to be identified as journalism that is true hyenaism.
