Nobody likes to be told, let alone admit, their government/banks/military is corrupt. No good will come from any of this because the average person really doesn't give a damn.
Then....why is this wikileaks business a front-page headlining story pretty much everywhere? Doesn't that completely counter your claim?
Further, the only reason people might not want to be told is that they already long knew it. Wikileaks hopefully has something pretty salacious to keep the interest, because thus far the response has been "Wow....is that it? I suspected much worse."
- ThomPete 16y agoIt's a frontpage story because they did what most journalists would never dare doing.

Just because "its on the news" doesn't prove that anybody gives damn. I don't see citizens rallying in favor of Wikileaks and calling for the overthrow of the US government.
- ergo98 16y agoThe news prints what people want to read about. It's a supply/demand industry. However what in the leaks demand that people call for the overthrow of the US government? Thus far it has been entirely predictable, tame, boring cables from individual offices and subjective interpretations. BFD. Seriously, BFD. It's like reading a diary, and that's what's interesting, but there has been nothing that is unexpected.
