"Right now 30+ journalists are finishing up a coordinated series of articles based on thousands of pages of leaked documents. We hear that to get the docs, outlets had to agree to the conditions and a schedule laid down by the PR team that worked on earlier leaked docs."

- John Pinette, VP Communications at FB

Gee, their opposition is organized, and that's pointed out as if it's a bad thing.

I did think one of the replies was intersting:

"What is going on is that thousands of "reporters" blame FB for the collapse of their industry, and this is payback. Forget the truth, they want blood. Fortunately they have spent a lot of time discrediting themselves so nobody believes them anymore anyway."

It does seem worrying how coordinated they seem in their attacks this time. I guess FB has made one too many enemies, and we're about to see how much influence old media has over the people.

Facebook could disappear tomorrow without improving the lot of newspapers. The disappearance of classified ads has much more to do with their difficulties.

Exactly

So something huge is incoming and Facebook is reduced to last minute squeaking on Twitter.

Oh dear.

We can only hope.
