WikiLeaks' New Rules: Suing Fake News Producers
A brazen announcement was made by WikiLeaks yesterday. They want to take on fake news producers by suing them. The plan is to sue fake news producers for libel and make some money in the process.

In yesterdays tweet, @WikiLeaks said:
NEW RULES: WikiLeaks is going make suing fake news producers like the Guardian a central part of its business model. Since libels are the most predictable response to the power and accuracy of a WikiLeaks' publication, our analysis is that this is a stable, scalable income stream

If WikiLeaks follows through on this proposal, it would be doing two good things. It would provide them with a extra revenue to further the organization (if they win). And it would expose even more dirty media companies that fail to live up to the trust and authority that is inherently granted to them by the public. Im not sure how viable it is as a "business model" or "scalable income stream" though.
Many commenters are making fun of WikiLeaks and Julian, calling him a criminal spy, misogynist and anti-semite [sic].
See what happens. You are a bunch of witting Russian assets, liars and sexists who committed espionage. And Julian Assange is also a pervert and an antisemite as well as a misogynist. I’m trying to think if I can be any clearer. Hope that wasn’t too on the fence?
i remember the time i loved, supported and endorsed wikileaks. I mean now, i can barley remember that time...
I mean, sure, but it would mean Julian is going to have to come out of his cupboard if he intends to go after any US publication. Face accusers and all.
There was a moment when Wikileaks stood for something noble. This is not noble. Time for a change.
I remember when I had some respect for you guys. That was a long time ago.
And others offers encouraging support of what WikiLeaks is setting out to do:
Go for it. Discovery will be fun.
Awesome. Discovery will be lit. I cannot tell you how much I encourage you to do this.
Suing will allow defendants to request any and all things related to their defense in discovery. Presumably for the world to see.
Oooh. Please do. I can't wait for discovery.
Some defended WikiLeaks to the mind-controlled zombies who just by into the mainstream media propaganda about WikiLeaks:
Since everything they've published has been 100% factual, you attack the source? That's a sure sign you've lost the battle. I'm sorry it's a fact that Hillary stole an election from Bernie. I'm sorry you think that's defensible. I don't care how we learn factual things.
I’ll try to use small words so you can understand. There is no evidence of russia working with Wikileaks or Wikileaks hacking anything. There is actual evidence from VIPS that the data was taken locally from a portable hard drive. Watch less maddow, think more for yourself
A lot of people can see the good work WikiLeaks does. While others, for some reason, don't see WikiLeaks as a force for good anymore, or never did. Some are brainwashed and buy into the MSM narrative. But what made others lose respect for WikiLeaks? The threat of taking on fake news producing mainstream media? Are they so in disbelief that the media can't be guilty of doing such things?
What do you think of this proposed move? Is WikiLeaks doing the smart or right thing? Should they go for it? Are they just venting?
Maybe they won't go through with it, and it was just made in anger. But the suit against The Guardian for the Assange-Manafort fake news story is for real. The GoFundMe page has raised $38,000 so far.

Thanks for the support.
Shining the light on what they prefer to remain in the shadows is the hardest blow one can give them. Which is why they rage at Wikileaks and whistle blowers in general. I think this is a great move as it will keep the conversation going and more people might start asking why the ones exposing the evil are in trouble while those exposed for their evil are still jet-setting and making money by the truckload.
Absolutely. It's a big con of a world we live in. And most are just too clueless to get it.
Yes, and I hope they profit good from it. Of course, as long as they stay honest and don't let the money go to their heads, I'm happy.
Hehe, lest they become what they fight against :P
I follow you and know we fully disagree on this, but I still think Wikileaks is all a big con!

Assange supports the bullshit 9/11 official story, has praised Netanyahu the evil zionist psychopath, and has never released any damaging info on Israel (that wasn't already published). Controlled opposition much?
I didn't know he supports Israel. That stinks big time. Not everyone can see the reality of the world, even though they have done some good. Rather than controlled opposition, just ignorance and attachment to certain ideas that prevent accurate perception, is how I see it.
I have to say I think Assange is a full on puppet and nothing about him from the cult childhood on rings true...
"Wikileaks, founded by Julian Assange, has become one of the biggest ‘whistle-blowing’ agencies in modern history. In reality though, it is one of the biggest disinformation projects in modern history, and it may be the most dangerous because it is masquerading as an organization of truth. The information released by Wikileaks isn’t new; it isn’t groundbreaking; it doesn’t hurt the US as much as people think, and it is overloaded with as much as propaganda as the day-to-day zionist media is."

in what context did he praise Nethanyahu? If a total idiot does something good then that good should be rewarded, it does not mean that this justifies all the other BS.
Once he receives leaks about / from israel that are damaging i'm sure that wikileaks will publish it. Though you can't publish what you don't have. It first needs the documents, then it needs a person that actually leaks, But the person who leaks it can also choose NOT lo leak it to wikileaks But to NewYorkTimes or The Guardian or any other media outlet (good or bad). So that agument needs a lot more support to get me convinced.
Same with the 9/11 argument, Just go to wikileaks and lookup a few 9/11 related docs.
To me your arguments sound like you got your information straight from the shitstream media. (sounds like, but I really hope it is not)
Julian is all about the truth and being unbiassed, so i really wonder where that 9/11 argument came from.
I'm really curious, who wrote that, and in what context, and under what circumstances that was wtitten. Even better would be an audio clip where Julian says it himself (again in the full context)
Let the truth come forward...
Wikileaks Is A Zionist Cover Up Operation – the Julian Assange Hoax
Funny how the videos all get censored by youtub!
http://mediawhores.co.nz/2017/01/21/wikileaks-is-a-zionist-cover-up-operation-the-julian-assange-hoax/
So what does this proof?
Come on, you should do MUCH better then that to make your point.
Thanks for trolling me! :-)
Great response
God I hope they do this. I haven't been much of a fan of wikileaks so far, but I might become one if they can effectively hold media companies accountable to the truth they have abandoned. Or at least to ensure they don't knowingly print lies.
Why not a fan? It takes them going after mainstream media outlets for you to like them?
Don't know - it always seemed arrogant sharing and sensationalizing things that aren't theirs to share. I think it's ok for people and governments to have secrets, but not to straight lie to everyone. And I'm starting to notice how much the media lies with either the direct intention of causing damage or with no concern for the damage they cause. They have no integrity and it baffles me that no one has called them out for libel yet.
what is sensational about the truth?
The manstream media still makes sensational lies about Russia EVERY SINGLE DAY, but Wikileaks is sensational?
Really?
Just go to wikileaks and search one document about something that affects your life. And write an article about it here on steemit.
Then you can experience tha value of wikileaks and make a few pennies with the truth.
.. it may eventually turn you into a real journalist.
feel free to tag me when you do an article like that, i'd be happy to give feedback!
I don't like suing. But the globalists have been suing patriots. Strike back.
