    Default Mass Media Advocating/Instructing for leaking sensitive or classified information

    Just saw a disturbing commercial which was both strongly advocating for, as well as providing explicit instructions as to how to go about leaking confidential, sensitive, even classified NatSec info (without detection/attribution). They were trying to position it as a "moral obligation"....

    The combination of advocation & enablement/instruction seemed way over the top to me, and figured I'd throw it out for discussion...


    ETA: May not want to view linked video from a work computer/network...

    Found it:
    By foxtrot: Link is SFW, but maybe avoid if on gov .net

    After re-watching it, I may possibly have inferred some things (likely due to cognitive bias), but if so then I don't think by much....

    Yeah, maybe a disclaimer is in order

    ***DISCLAIMER: Not likely I'd never really talk to a "journalist" to "leak" any sort of information...mostly because I prefer to stay out of the sewer and away from slime. So the following is only hypothetical.***

    Duh.

    Really. That was hardly the most informative instructional video I've ever seen.

    Was that commercial presented on television, or just on the web?

    That is very disturbing.
