November 5, 2016 --

Filmmakers Moore and Stone published an op-ed article in The New York Times, August 21, 2012, called “Wikileaks and Free Speech.” Here is the text of the opening paragraph of that article:

“We have spent our careers as filmmakers making the case that the news media in the United States often fail to inform Americans about the uglier actions of our own government. We therefore have been deeply grateful for the accomplishments of Wikileaks, and applaud Ecuador’s decision to grant diplomatic asylum to its founder, Julian Assange, who is now living in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London.”

LPR, of course, is curious to know if Mr. Moore and Mr. Stone are grateful for the current accomplishments of Wikileaks.
