Would we make the press anonymous, so as to protect their careers outside of the site? If so, we could lose a great deal of respect and attention. Or would we give them credit for what could be superb journalism? We'd also have to have a great team of fact checkers. It'd be nice to get news that's true, and can be substantiated. We might even have sources outside of the CIA! And of course Fox News would tie us to the al Qaeda, and suggest that we worship Satan and have high carb diets. I remember a long time ago when Einstein relesaed his theory of relitiviyy, a mass of german scientists came forward calling it crap and saying that it was all wrong and evil jewish propoganda. Einstein responded something to the effect: "I don't know why all these scientists want to try and discredit me by publishing papers and books and articles. All they need to discredit me is one fact." Even if Fox News or any news outlet for that matter wanted to go after this haven, they'd never have any real amunition. If all we said was truth, we are invicable.
