Hypocrisy of US Mainstream Press!

• Hypocrisy of US Mainstream Press!

  President Obama has been the most aggressive in going after “leaks” that reveal how government lies to the people on one subject or another. His efforts to protect the government are disgraceful and if government was honest, well there wouldn’t be leaks.

  But the real issue that is a disgrace has been the conduct of the American mainstream press. When they are attacked like the Associate Press reporters covering leaks, suddenly their is solidarity. Yet I fail to see the difference when it came to Julian Assange. There was absolutely no such solidarity in reaction to the government’s open, public accusations against Mr Assange for exposing the same issues of government cover-ups. Fox News commentators were dismissive of Mr Assange’s free-speech claims. The real shocker was the Washington Times who ran an op-ed piece that advocated the assassination of Mr Assange, while the National Review Online‘s Jonah Goldberg wondered why Mr Assange wasn’t dead already!

  Julian Assange’s actions of Wiki-Leaks were exactly the same as those of Fox News’s Mr Rosen. So who in the mainstream media is setting the tone to kill foreign reporters seeking the truth? In my own case, I confronted Judge Richard Owen with his conduct that is anyone else did would have been a life sentence being 5 years for each instance of altering court documents. The courtroom was packed. EVERY news organization was there. Lawyers said I was crazy. “You cannot accuse a judge publicly of changing the transcripts.” Yet, everyone knows they do it and the Second Circuit Court of Appeals acknowledged they do it and claimed it lacked the power to order judges to obey the law in US v Zichettelo (see page 97).
