Leak! What the official government is saying.

[DamienMarj]

Oh grow up, since when was something being splashed all over the news making it important? the likes of One Direction, Justin Bieber trend on Twitter and on the news we have stories running for a whole week about some cabinet minister calling an officer a 'pleb' or the Ozzie PM falling over - meanwhile we have documents such as this being released and ignored, we have the debt climbing millions every day, we have US drone bombings over Pakistan/Yemen/Somalia and Afghanistan...... and all you can do to justify it 'not being important' is that it's hardly mentioned on Twitter.

And we wonder why we're in such a mess (or at least some of us do, thankfully). Astounding ignorance, does something need a BBC logo on it or a certain number of Twitter mentions for you to take any interest or notice regardless of the importance of a story?

You do understand you're trying to come and share this with a majority of kids by age or mentality. Forget these idiots, these selfish little people who do not believe in anybodys opinion and there only attack is a -rep or putting people down and not actually debating it out.

I for one am very shocked, totally believe in your opinion about the media too, all their there to do is to influence us and brainwash us, have you read thesun? there was a story on Dean gaffney or something like that an actor from eastenders, they dug up a year old application for MI5 and made a front page on it, then made an entire video podcast of him dressed as ''James Bond'' telling us how he enjoys a lifestyle like bond, doing little posses and tha.. well what I'm trying to say is, there is a point for media, to brainwash us, try and influence our opinions, and I cannot believe the respond of that guy regarding ''two tweets'' thats the kind of guy who is bringing this country down so badly.

3mentions of it on twitter, must be really important news

Twitter is not just about Justin Bieber, One Direction and Nicki. For this to get more attention if it's important and considered a "leak" then social media is what sends it out to 1,000's of people and let's more people informed about it.

Social media is what makes people interested in such news and if it isn't on one of those networks or even on one of the big news sites then sure no one is going to have a clue what this is or even come across it.

Sorry but if you go on importance of what other people are saying on the likes of Facebook and Twitter then your very closed minded. Just because something isn't being plastered over the net doesn't mean its important, some things are kept quiet to avoid this because they are too important. When I look at twitter it's mainly TV stuff that is trending, does that mean the other stuff is less important?

Should read the whole thread.

I never said it wasn't important. I'm just saying twitter is more than Justin Bieber

Doesn't make sense, does it? Unless "I'm I missing something here"

I think you're having a brain fade Matt...

The word "thread" was there in my head when I kept reading it back. Lack of sleep? I don't know, thanks for spotting it out though

I read some it just annoys me that people judge stuff on popularity (I know lots who do).

A little off topic but it reminds me of a debate I had with someone ages ago relating to an artist I'd worked with who I found really amazing, great singing voice. A friend told me he couldn't be that good if he's never in the charts, but my defence was there are lots of amazing artists out there who are either underground or just don't get played often due to the fact they aren't mainstream enough. That doesn't mean they are any worse or better than those in the charts.

I just think people should have an open mind, don't think because something isn't popular it means it's bad.
