On the note of language, I'd say it's important to
note in any feature the exchange I overheard between a
staffer and a cameraperson for a major network that's
in bed with a major software company.

To wit:

"Ellsberg's biggest assumption [in suggesting
potential leaks be brought to the press] is that the
press is the same now as when he leaked the Pentagon
Papers."
