I remember when the panama papers leaked, and the entire front page of the guardian was full of articles detailing how much data there was, and how hard they worked to go through it all. I never actually found any information of the actual leaks, because the guardian wouldn’t stop writing and publicizing articles about all the data and journalism they were doing, while failing to publish and publicize the actual results of their investigations.

Ham Sandwiches posted:Yeah this is all the coverage right now and it's just loving unreal I was actually in South Africa a bit after the panama papers leaked, and I saw a South African paper with the front page as a political cartoon showing journalists overthrowing corrupt african leaders, using the panama papers as their weapons. I looked inside the paper, and the article was entirely about how large the data was. Absolutely zero information about any african politicians sneaking their ill-gotten gains out of the continent. I also remember the guardian posting a gigantic D3/interactive javascript flowchart that we could manipulate to see how much data there was, and of how many different types of data. Then they included a 5 minute video that repeated all that information. It was incredible how self-fellating the media was, while still doing absolutely nothing to threaten the rich people in power.
