All of these factors explain a lot — but on top of it all is one other big difference between these two journalists: Greenwald is publishing his reporting in multiple venues. In doing that, he is exploiting the fact that in the digital age, information’s relevance, salience, and significance is today less contingent on its particular medium and more defined by its actual content. Put another way, he is taking advantage of a Web-centric, social-media-dependent, email-connected world in which every article is just another link. The rise of that new world means that if a reporter like Greenwald, a documentarian like Laura Poitras, or any other journalist digs up news that is significant, it now has a chance to reach a huge audience, whether or not it happens to be transmitted by the old media oligopolies. That reality, of course, is an enormous change — and a frightening one to those old media oligopolies and the governments those oligopolies too often serve. At the same time as all of this was happening, oligopolies’ hidden agendas meant that major scoops werewithheld in ideological deference to the very government officials those oligopolies claimed to be objectively covering. Ultimately, it all created an anti-meritocratic dynamic in journalism that probably hurt news quality in ways we will never fully know (how many Watergates were never reported?). how much is withheld from us - as to what is happening to people in schools.. war on kids - et al.. why are we not listening deeper to that..? In this new reality, governments have far less power to stop the release of humiliating information by, say, drilling holes in the hard drives of one particular media outlet. There are now so many different channels to release information — and information can now go viral no matter where it appears — that such heavy handed tactics seem less like dystopian sci-fi than absurdist comedy. That clearly pisses off — and scares — the keepers of secrets in the White House, the NSA and the GCHQ. and in schools et al.. no? starfish ness..

"[E]rrors in a good government and in a bad are equally almost incident," Milton wrote, "for what Magistrate may not be mis-inform'd, and much the sooner, if liberty of Printing be reduc't into the power of the few." In other words, government is inherently fallible, even one acting with the best of intentions. Reducing the ability of the public to uncover and report on that fallibility through government control of the press, leads to public ignorance, poor policy outcomes and a fundamental loss of individual liberty. Once a reporter has received information in the public interest (subject to the narrowest of exceptions), that information must be allowed to be reported without limitation and at the discretion of the journalist. Only through this freedom can we hold our public servants to account for their actions, good or bad. In Britain, to their shame, these servants seem to have forgotten whom they serve. indeed.. no? who's afraid of losing money..? pedagogy of the oppressed.. the oppressors are..have been... will always be.. no..? part of the make up of oppressing/dehumanizing.. the fear that will never let you go.. because of your/our holding on ness..

How did scientists learn about the moon before traveling to it? How many different worlds are there? How did Hawaii form out of a volcano? Why is there animal cruelty? Why do cats have sharp claws? Why are people's noses, mouths, eyes, and ears different?  Why are there variations? Who was Charles Darwin? Is Area 51 real? What caused dinosaurs to become extinct? Why are there different sounds in the world? Will we cure breast cancer? Why do we have a zodiac? How was the idea of a Bermuda Triangle formed?   Where are the 10 dimensions? How can I understand each? How many moons are in our universe? How do myths begin?  Are they true? How many universes are there?  Are any the same as ours? Why do people adopt wild animals like tigers, cheetahs, or lions?  What prompts this? Is there really a man named, Moth Man? Are aliens real or made up? Why do most people think money is the solution to their problems? Why do some people take their anger out on others when it was someone else who made them mad? What are crop circles? Why are there only 12 months? Who created homework? What will humans look like 1, 000, 000 years from now? How are snowflakes alike? What will happen next? Are there parallel universes? Can we move between them? Can you time travel and still live? When will my dad's work calm down? How do adaptation and variation connect? What would happen if Earth died? What is the most endangered species in the world? Are there superheroes? Why are some things in the world dangerous? How are wormholes created? Are there medicines that can cure AIDS? How do brain tumors form? How man planets have water on them? What's evolution? Can you curve a bullet like they are shown in movies? Can we get rid of radioactive waste safely?
