I enjoyed reading that piece by Jonathan Cook. It well captures the many lies and hypocrisies promoted by our state-run media and "justice" system regarding Assange. Another telling example was the "impartial" British judge describing Assange as a "self-serving narcissist" at his hearing. I'm sure that bit of showmanship will earn the judge a few more tasty career favors. As will all the editorials commenting on Ecuador's "bravery" in letting their embassy be violated, or how Assange was never a real journalist to begin with. Meanwhile, Trump, too seems to have lost any oppositional veneer he ever had - when asked about Assange's arrest, his shameful replay was, "I don't know anything about Wikileaks. It's not my thing."
About the only public figure to make a logical assessment of events was Pamela Anderson!
