It could definitely be sampling bias, but with that I'm not sure where any anti-manning articles would be posted in the first place. I thoroughly agree that mainstream media hasn't covered this case as much as it should have been. I'd argue this is just as important as the trayvon Martin case ( I mean the guy literally got away with manslaughter. I guess after thinking about it for a while, the reason people wouldn't be upset about this, thus all the pro-manning articles and nearly no anti-manning articles are a result of only hackers genuinely caring about the misapplication of these poorly worded and over stretched laws they used to "prove" manning guilty of "computer fraud" whatever the hell that is.
