Am I the only one to find the reporting on this to be rather one sided? Sure we all know Putin is a shady character to say the least, but none in the US or the UK being directly reported on? Germany? France? Instead we get a token gesture in the way of Iceland's PM being implicated.

The Guardian is losing a hell of a lot of credibility in my opinion for having this biased view being published.

I say make all the documents available to the entire world. That is the only way it will be less media propaganda and more a true leak.

The Guardian reports the UK Prime Minister's father used the firm.


Yes I saw that however you cannot have the mention of his father be seen as adequate reporting on the misdeeds of the elite.


Yes Cameron answered all allegations regarding this in 2009 so it will make him look tough - storm in a teacup.

From what I've read, there will be much bigger news related to Western figures coming out of this leak in the near future.

puts on tinfoil hat: However, with that said, the organizations behind the release could very well have a hidden agenda as they don't seem to have any intention of releasing the full leak.


I really hope that this does happen. I would like to see unbiased reporting about all of the information instead of selective reporting.


David Cameron's father is frequently mentioned in the news reporting I've seen.


That is true however it is a very far cry from adequate unbiased reporting. We get lengthy pieces on the "usual suspects" but a mere token gesture for the elite of other countries.


Give it time.
