Bill Keller, NY Times Editor, talks to Terry Gross on NPR. This is likely the best wrap up, up to date, about the impact of wikileaks’ model, and the changing of the guard in respect to surpression or distrotion of info, and management or manipulation of the message.


If you don’t know what’s going on listen to the Fresh Air.  You can hate the creep Assange *may* be… but he is up for a nobel peace prize for a good reason. It’s not about him, but the processing of information. I don’t know how a guy connecting 500Million people to annoy each other with stupid videos and requesting corn won the “Man of the Year” thing.


I know.. if not Assange, it would be someone else (the Times says they might create their own so to get a chain in custody). But he has replaced intended opacity with a transparency that makes information so memetic and autonomous that it makes democracy viral. THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE. So talk about Wikileaks here please. There’s so much more to come, to be sure.
