Beyond worthless? That’s a spat in the face to all whistleblowers, journalists and lawyers who WikiLeaks worked together with to reveal dirty state and corporation secrets. Did everyone forget Afghan and Iraq war documents already? Cable leaks? Journalists who were risking their lives? WikiLeaks to this day hasn’t released a single inauthentic leak.

>Did everyone forget Afghan and Iraq war documents already? Cable leaks? Journalists who were risking their lives? Have you? Wikileaks is irresponsible as hell. Their leaks were unredacted and put the lives of informants at risk as well as exposing the names of people who have been victims of sex crimes and persecuted by corrupt governments. People like Glenn Greenwald and the journalists working on the Panama Papers illustrate really well how irresponsible and biased Wikileaks is.

They decided to become a political organization and obliterated their credibility. If they release something is it real... probably. Is it free from spin? probably not. Are they releasing things in a fair and even fashion (i.e. everything gets released unless there is a damn good reason not to, like people could end up dead)? I doubt it now.

  Where is the evidence that Wikileaks was ever acting as a fair, impartial or apolitical entity?

    It seems some people view apolitical as leaking things damaging to people they don't like, and political when leaking damaging things against people they do.
