Didn't that website begin as a place for whistle-blowers to post government documents that the government didn't want exposed?
I'm just trying to recall what the standard is here. Did Friedman illegally download something, or did he just write a column on some material that he obtained, but that he didn't himself steal?

There are plenty of instances of the media running illegally obtained items or at least viewing them and making reports.
They draw a line at entertainment scoops (look at how Big Media was handed the personal information when someone had legally purchased a street level final edition copy of the last Harry Potter novel).
This is a danger. Big Media puts a higher value on entertainment copyright than they do national security. Perhaps we should look for news from organizations that don’t have this conflict of interest (they are antiAmerican at the core, there is no other explanation for their treason and support of espionage against this nation’s government).
