"While The Guardian and The New York Times reported on the NSA targeting of data leaked by popular mobile apps, independent sources produced highly-detailed articles--accompanied by source material--that paint a much broader picture of NSA capabilities and intent. Recent restrictions imposed on journalists--a result of corporate influence, editorial decisions, and threats against journalists--combined with the ease of establishing a website, might be driving a new era in journalism.
The Intercept recently announced a shift towards independent reporting with the creation of their own news outlet, free of the constraints imposed on journalists by 'Big Media' and governments. Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras and Jeremy Scahill have joined forces to provide the world with an alternative, perhaps blazing a path towards a fundamental change in how news is reported and distributed. SoylentNews can play a significant role in this shift towards journalistic freedom--we share many common core-ideals, and can give voice to independent news sources.
The Big Question: How will 'Big Media' and governments react to this shift in journalism?"

It's about not duplicating the efforts of the NRA. Or is the NRA doing a poor job? If you want the ACLU to cover 2nd Amendment issues, join the ACLU and agitate for more 2nd Amendment work. The ACLU asks its members what issues to focus on. The real problem is that too many 2nd Amendment supporters won't join the ACLU because they think the ACLU is "bleeding-heart liberals", so they go and join the NRA, and with the sheer size of the NRA, the ACLU feels that the 2nd Amendment is already pretty well covered. They have not rejected you, you have rejected them.
