There's simply no reason to keep falling for this. A genuine insider with genuine information of crimes who wanted to make a splash would leak to a real media organization so that the leak would have a real impact. He/She would let that organization examine the information and the claims and see if they held up. Anyone going anonymously to 4chan or reddit or any of nonsense news blogs ARE NOT intending on having an impact. They are just doing it to play you. The nonsense news blogs don't have sources. They simply make it up, becuase they know their audience will go for it if the story pushes the right buttons. If you engage the emotions and cause outrage, people don't tend to think critically. They don't look at the details.

What "real media organization" would that be???
With the information that came out of Wikileaks, seems like practically all of the "mainstream" media is compromised and controlled
Even spilling information to the local media is no guarantee whatsoever that it will be actually be aired.

I concur, where is any reliable mainstream media outlet. Can someone name one?
