>It clearly has. Had it not been for Wikileaks, and various online news organizations we would never have known the sheer amount of corruption afoot in this election, as well as the extent of the death grip political elites have on the entire system.

There'd be more of a case in its favor if old media actually competed with each-other in a diverse marketplace anymore.
