"Avatar tribe" wins over Mining Giant

[Human No More]

An attempt is not a success, if every attempt has such an impact, the would would be extremely different (and probably devoid of all life).
When the things the tinfoil hatters believe in are the sort of "secret mind control/ALIENS/global masonic conspiracy" etc. crap, you can be sure, people would be interested in them, yet they also believe that these giant conspiracies don't have the ability to silence some random nutter posting on the internet (or even just throw a few million his way to keep quiet, if there are people who would miss them).

Yes, media has its own biases, from leftist to right wing, from authoritarian to libertarian, but that cross-section itself is what means that nothing goes unnoticed, especially when combined with how traditional media is being almost supplanted by new forms. While you won't see much on the News Of The World phone cracking scandal from Murdoch's papers, you certainly do from everyone else.

Any organisation, as it grows, in size and influence, will not be able to control everything. If something should be known, it becomes known, all it takes is a single disgruntled employee with 5 seconds of opportunity (e.g. Cablegate, or the leak of Australia's secret censorship list).
