Guardian's editor Kath Viner has publicly tweeted her support for Glenn Greenwald, so she's capable of feeling compassion for a harried investigative journalist and supporter of whistle-blowers, trying to do a job... just as long as he's not called Julian Assange  Previous MessageFrom Twitter Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald -- "We also got videos from Naomi Klein, Jim Risen & Sulliview. Both Post Baron & Kath Viner tweeted their support, as did Jake Tapper. But yeah: not a huge wave. And it's not just me being threatened but the whole The Intercept team". Forgive those who are a little sceptical about Greenwald's employer, the very well-funded Intercept, since three whistle-blowers who - in supposed deepest security - trusted The Intercept have been betrayed and delivered into Trump's jails. They must be cursing they didn't rather trust Wikileaks with their information as Wikileaks has an unblemished record of not breaching and betraying. Both The Intercept and The Guardian have copied The Wikileaks model by setting up Wikileaks-type 'drop boxes' for 'secure leaks' at their sites: but should the public trust them?

"Despite its increasingly dismal track record, the publication – largely funded by government-linked tech billionaire Pierre Omidyar – continues to invite and “welcome” whistle-blowers from the public and private sector and implores them to “consider sharing your information securely with us.” [2] Trump arrests another alleged Intercept source Scoop LINK http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL1905/S00052/trump-arrests-another-alleged-intercept-source.htm |
