Yes, that claim was made many times, including by people directly implicated by the leaks, and yet and later it was found that they were all true, with not one source pointing out an actual fake email or document.
- abritinthebay 10y agoThere was plenty of selected editing by Wikileaks - which is what most reports about that referred to. The actual sources, no. But given the sources we're rarely presented as the first point of information by the main distributor... it's a fair criticism
- imron 10y agoI'm not sure what you mean by selective editing. The original emails are all there, including verified DKIM signatures for many of them. Are you suggesting they only included the bad ones, selectively leaving out any good ones?
- abritinthebay 10y agoI'm talking about their presentation an initial editing. To their credit, they did make the original emails available - which mostly showed that what the claimed was in them was... well, mostly lies. At best half-truths. That's what I mean by selective.
