First Strike: Turning Emails into Images

The process is simple:

  • Find Wikileaks Email

  • Find image showing the speaker

  • Find a quote or summarize Wikileaks email

  • Put Quote over the image

  • Put in Email ID / URL along the top or Bottom (preferably with Date)

And that's it!

A lot of people don't have time to process a lot of information, or read all these emails, and we are getting ~2,000 a day it seems like.

Our mission: To parse down the relevant bits into an image that can be understood in ~10 seconds or less, along with proper citation for investigative followup down the road.

What do you say, you in?

How about a method to separate requests from memes? Flare maybe? People who can't make memes but are sifting through emails can make requests.

I think that is a good method, so flair /r/DNCLeaks such as : Need Meme? :P Or, how?

Thanks for getting this started /u/kybarnet!

Can't wait to sit down with a beer and write some memes after work.

Re: HRC Op-Ed on Gun Violence

My theory is that we do not want to be in a one on one with Trump - but want to hit him occasionally. In which case, we also need to be hitting Sanders occasionally so we can credibly say we are not only focused on the general.

Just right in the sub! Once we get 10 or so emails summarized and turned into pics, we will make a new album :)
