Bread & Circus: Wikileaks makes the TSA debacle go away
- PedroCandeias 16y agoI know, this has nothing to do with hacking. Still, given the amount of threads dedicated to TSA and Wikileaks on HN, I thought it'd be amusing to point out this little graph on Google Trends. It fits extremely well with what we can observe on HN: hardly anyone is discussing the TSA issues anymore. Which begs the question: how aggravated are we with the TSA, really, if the scandal-du-jour can so easily makes us forget what we were passionately discussing just weeks ago?
- scrrr 16y agoThanks for posting this. It demonstrates nicely what is a common phenomenon. I'm also sure it's frequently used in politics and elsewhere to to hide a scandal behind a seemingly more important but in fact less important (or untrue) event. Nevertheless, in this particular case I think WikiLeaks indeed is the bigger story.
