What evidence do I have that Wikileaks is right?
Does anyone here believe we have a democratic news system? That the news report on the ill goings on of the government, corporations or those in power and is impartial? No. We have news that is selected to be reported for the masses. It wasn't always this way. The news was impartial. Any biases or opinions were in the editorials. What do we have today? We have news that is partial and is selected for us. One news we have not heard reported by mainstream media is what's going on in North Dakota. Why is that being withheld?
Then there is social media. What happened to the news about James Comey reopening the investigation against Hillary Clinton? Is social media -- Twitter, Facebook, Buzzfeed, Snapchat and even Reddit being censored? Are you being tracked by the government? Does the government change entries in Wikipedia? Is 4chan the only one that is not corrupted (my little joke but maybe it isn't a joke)?
Social media is run by the oligarchs and how they do it (From zero hedge):

We even have intelligent Democrats questioning their own party about transparency (opinion on antiwar.com):

What's the solution? The best way is to get the truth. Get it from different sources. Get different opinions. Find a group that hasn't been tainted or a website that doesn't invade your privacy, track you or promote biased news too often. Question the news and the source. Look for transparency. Lordy, we have Microsoft that tracks you and invades your privacy. What we want are intelligent, informed and educated citizens whether you're liberal or conservative. (I believe these people will demand transparency and a democracy or the republic based on ideas that it was founded on). Then you'll understand what is going on and be able to report the truth and act upon it.
So when you come down to it, what at are elections and what is liberty? Benjamin Franklin said it best. Arm yourselves with the truth.
