Let's face it: WikiLeaks exists because the mainstream media haven't done their job.
I mean, MTV or the mainstream media can tell you one thing, but when there are 40,000 people in front of you, who cares about all that?
I'm saying that there's way more to 9/11 than mainstream media and our government have told us.

I think most people aren't really privy to how stories are developed and what stories are - make it to the front page or to the mainstream media, whether it's in print or in broadcast.
