A Story of Coincidence and Chance

An interesting Democracy Now blurb about WikiLeaks and Haiti. Apparently, a 2005 leaked U.S. Embassy cable shows that the embassy was angry that Democracy Now accurately reported on a deadly raid on Site Soley. Apparently, the embassy was concerned that there wasn't PR coverage for Democracy Now.

The video includes a brief bit of Kim Ives, whose pieces in Haiti Liberté I've read, but this is the first time I've seen video of him. Ives' point is about Secretary Clinton's actions (discussed in another memo) after the 2010 earthquake: apparently she got a bunch of embassies to penalize journalists who don't "get the narrative right."

More comprehensive video is over here.
