As to “what were they thinking?” Ummm.. I should remind that they *don’t* think! That’s been obvious for a long time now! 😉

But every time I sat down to blog about it, I started laughing until I couldn’t breath anymore, then I was too busy coughing to type. I only barely am making this comment here… must… breathe… ohmy…

It shows up a lot on the ABC [Australian Broadcasting] and this is probably where I first saw it. AFP likes to include digs about the US in its reporting.

Then I like to verify the truth of things by looking at the original sources where possible.

It isn’t just World Press Freedom Day, the theme is the use of the Internet in reporting. It was too perfect to ignore.

So, we’re hunting down WikiLeaks like a dog, but we’re going to host (no less) the World Press Freedom Day?

Okay.
