You need to have a blind spot the size of Langley, Virginia, not to notice it. And yet that very revealing fact is never noticed or commented on by the corporate media. Almost nothing in his case has gone according to the normal rules of legal procedure. What is so striking in the Assange coverage is the sheer number of legal anomalies in his case and these have been accumulating relentlessly from the very start. Rather than listen to experts, or common sense, these "journalists" keep regurgitating the talking points of the British security state, which are as good as identical to the talking points of the US security state. They are trapped in a herd-think entirely divorced from reality. But the journalists keep doing it anyway. In an era of social media, journalists at the Guardian and the BBC have been bombarded by readers and activists with messages telling them how they are getting basic facts wrong in the Assange case.
These are not the kind of mistakes that can be explained away as an example of what one journalist has termed the problem of "churnalism": the fact that journalists, chasing breaking news in offices depleted of staff by budget cuts, are too overworked to cover stories properly.īritish journalists have had many years to get the facts straight. It is because the corporate media keep making these errors. The fact that so many ordinary people keep making these basic errors has a very obvious explanation. Ecuador rightly accepted Assange's concerns that the US would seek his extradition and lock him out of sight for the rest of his life.Īssange, of course, has been proven yet again decisively right by recent developments. The asylum was granted on political grounds. No state in the world gives a non-citizen political asylum to avoid a rape trial. Also, Assange did not seek sanctuary in the embassy to evade the Swedish investigation.
