re: #278 Killgore Trout

From that article…

I think it’s a mistake to assume he’s a member of the media. There is some grey area here but just because he runs a website doesn’t make him a member of the media.

His definition…

“Assange described his organization to The New Yorker as “scientific journalism,” comparing it to biology researchers publishing their data sets along with their papers. In recapping a talk by Assange at London’s Center for Investigative Journalism earlier this month, a reporter for the British newspaper The Guardian cheekily pointed out that “if Assange was producing this article, he would post the rambling hour-and-a-half talk he delivers” instead of quoting from it.”
