re: #413 harlequinade
While not treading old ground - I think the principle of Wikileaks is sound. I think the investigative journalism of Private Eye is astounding.
So - if I had to side with one over the other - it’d be the esteemed organ, the Eye
We have always had the principle of information leaks available, as well as the recognition in principle that with information goes responsibility.
Wikileaks is sound only to self serving anarchists like Assange and little teenybopper hackers on the internet. I know that type of thinking. I had it too when I was a child and when knew how to solve all problems.
As to Private Eye, I’m glad it is still going. I used to be a fan when I lived over there.
