The failing Vice was ordered to make WikiLeaks look bad and this is the best they could do. They're essentially saying don't whistleblow unless you also provide a solution. They're really grasping at straws here.

It's similar to Buzzfeed but oriented more towards the male demographic.

> failing Vice

Is that a tongue-in-cheek jibe at Trump? It's hard to know if Trump is for or against wikileaks now. They were BFFs, but now wikileaks has been accused of treason by Fox news. Or does that mean they're still in Trump's good books because he hates the CIA? It's all very confusing.

No, they're just reporting the facts that tech companies have been promised details of the hacks, but haven't received anything yet (other than demands).

Damn YOU Wikileaks!!! My stove stopped working AFTER you released that report about sub par manufacturing procedures that may cause goods to fail prematurely, and showed that this was intentionally orchestrated by the top officials of the company that made the stove! WHY DID"NT YOU FIX MY STOVE FOR ME!!!!
