Media Whistleblowers: A safe site, like Wikileaks, for msm employees?

Think of employees who like Paul but have nowhere to go when/if they run across some messed up memo about shutting him out. Or maybe not even Paul but other agendas. Where would they go w/that info right now? They'd need somewhere safe if they wanted to be anon.
 
I think it is a good idea. I've often wondered how effective it might be if there was an Outfoxed part II that focused on all the Paul exclusions and memos detailing this.

Greenwald is of course a flaming liberal and would never help us out, but after 5 years somebody has to have something they could spill you'd think?

Greenwald is liberal, but I've never seen anything to suggest he's anything other than an honest man. It's also in his own interests to expose the way corporate interests manipulate elections through the media. Why wouldn't he be on board, assuming we got him the evidence to work with?

Anyway, I think this is a good idea in theory, but I'm not sure how effective it will be in practice. For starters, developing a site like Wikileaks requires some resources and technical knowledge. For instance, the site has to carefully scrub any trace of the document's origins from its logs, etc. to protect whistleblowers. I'm sure someone has the skills and confidence, and someone has a suitable location, but there are larger hurdles: Actually broadcasting the existence of such a website to media employees could be difficult, and it would be even more difficult to convince them it's not a trap. What really bothers me though is that Wikileaks and Openleaks already exist! They could easily serve this purpose, but no leaks have been reported. Assuming they're not traps themselves, that leads me to believe that nobody in the media is likely to post proof...and they might not even have it. The blackout orders could be verbal or even mostly implied.

I wonder about them being traps, too. I don't trust them, either given the fact they could actually expose a lot of real information but do not. Good point on convincing would-be whistleblowers that it's not a trap. I know so little about setting up something like this but I think we have some very tech savvy supporters here so maybe someone does have the know-how to do this? I think if it were done properly that we would have some success? I think we could get the site out there easy enough, it's the setting up and garnering trust that would be difficult. I think, though, if someone can do it that the rest will fall into place. Most is probably verbal but even if one or two people were able to get their hands on something showing what the media is up to then it would be worth it. I wouldn't focus on just Fox but all media outlets. At the very least the presence of such a site might be a deterrent re: the bias, the exposure of just one talking head might make the others think twice, kwim?
 
I was thinking about something the other day. We all know there's a concerted and deliberate effort by the MSM to hurt Ron Paul and destroy the liberty movement. There's no doubt in my mind that memos go around and producers and execs tell their news anchors and analysts to ignore Ron Paul, attack him on a certain issue, marginalize him, etc. It's highly unlikely we'll ever get official hard evidence of that in the near future, we should just forge an 'official" memo from one of the major news networks that says what we all know it says and spread it around the internet for everyone to see. We should try and obtain any normal memo so we can make ours look legit. We have to learn to fight fire with fire. If anyone starts to say oh those Paul supporters photoshopped that memo we can just call them crazy tin foil hat conspriacy theorists:D
 
I don't think the forging is a good idea but I get the premise of what you're saying. I just know how we would be painted by msm's broadbrush and how it would marginalize any proof we did have (if that ever happens). I just can't imagine that there isn't a secretary, an intern, maybe even a sympathetic reporter- someone out there in a msm studio who isn't disgusted by the what the msm is doing and would gladly upload a damning memo if they had access to one. We only need that one person to make the effort worthwhile.
