Perhaps, but it is also tainted with, to me, inexplicable craving for attention using methods that aren't aligned with the espoused higher calling of Wikileaks - as in the Sony hack content. That, to me, significantly damaged the remaining credibility of the organization. It may not resonate the same way for everyone, that's fine, I just sincerely disliked that situation.

WikiLeaks is a media organisation so it will crave for attention as all media does. But please name one single case in which data released by WikiLeaks was bogus.
On the other hand I could bring up hundreds of cases where main stream media has released fake information.
So how exactly do you decide who has credibility and who does not?

WikiLeaks maintains credibility by being solely and entirely funded by individual contributions from the public.

I don't even understand how you can claim that.
