Wow. A major situation has just broken. Classified government information has been leaked. You work for a major newspaper. What do you do?
1. Come up with a fun-sounding name. Wikileaks. Check.
2. Focus on the importance of said information being released. Naw, too boring. Focus on how this is an embarassment to the White House. Check.
3. Attack Obama for not knowing about the leak even though it was probably done by one private in an army of tens of thousands. Check.
4. Claim to have some expert in the field of leaked classified information offer a few important-sounding quotes for your already lame story. Check.
I'm so glad I don't work in the news business anymore.
