A friend of mine in the United States, Daniel Ellsberg, who famously leaked the Pentagon Papers, uses a phrase that Ive become fond of. Courage is contagious. That is, when someone engages in a courageous act and shows other people that that act wasnt an act of martyrdom, rather that it was an intelligently designed act, it encourages other people to follow him. - Julian Assange, founder and head of Wikileaks

The powerless can and will fight the powerful with a reasonable chance for success

1. Demand from the editors good, fact-based journalism when it is lacking. Hold them accountable. 2. Do additional research on news information 3.
