Glenn Greenwald:
... even if one were to assume for the sake of argument that WikiLeaks' more aggressive transparency may occasionally result in excess disclosures (a proposition I reject), the more government-friendly posture of The N.Y.T. and similar outlets often produces quite harmful journalism of its own. It wasn't WikiLeaks that laundered false official claims about Saddam's W.M.D.'s and alliance with Al Qaeda on its front page under the guise of "news" to help start a heinous war. It isn't WikiLeaks that routinely gives anonymity to U.S. officials to allow them to spread leader-glorifying mythologies or quite toxic smears of government critics without any accountability.
...
... with some noble exceptions, The Times, by design or otherwise, has long served the interests of the same set of elite and powerful factions. Its reporting is no less "activist," subjective or opinion-driven than the new media voices it sometimes condescendingly scorns.
