  Journalism involves synthesis and above all _vetting_ of source material, not hosting a glorified ftp server for whatever your sources send you.

    Your saying it's not journalism unless it is spun and someone gives their opinion on it? You have no idea what journalism is.

      Hosting primary sources isn't really journalism, in and of itself, as that term is commonly used.

  They will always vet, synthesize, secure and edit their material. That's what makes it journalism. There's a reason Snowden went to The Guardian and not WikiLeaks. Julian Assange is as much of a journalist as Mark Zuckerberg is.
