WIKILEAKS released Hilary's emails. Not the media.

WikiLeaks is a shell now, almost non-existent. For years it's been little more than a Twitter account, but even that hasn't posted since June.

False. The Clinton emails were first released under FOIA by the State Department, not by WikiLeaks. You're mixing it up with the Podesta and DNC email archives, which incidentally contained dirt on Trump as well.

Over the next several months, the State Department completed production of 30,068 emails, which were released in 14 batches, with the final batch released on February 29, 2016. Both the Wall Street Journal and WikiLeaks independently set up search engines for anyone who would like to search through the Clinton emails released by the State Department.

So the post is still an error. This post would have you believe big media is in Donald Trump's pocket. That's hilarious.

Much like wikileaks, media outlets claim to be impartial third parties and have annoynmous drop boxes for whistleblowers.

Or you could argue that wikileaks operated much like media outlets do but got sent to prison for it anyway.

Maybe it's because wikileaks didn't direct their partial impartiality in the same direction. That's how they keep media controlled. All US major media outlets support the US war machine. That's true from Fox News to CNN. So wikileaks real crime was not being partially impartial in the right direction while doing journalism. On the mechanics Assange did nothing others haven't.
