I hope those praising Assange’s arrest—that includes MSNBC,
CNN, NYT & WP—are wearing their MAGA hats proudly. As if to show how few principles they
actually have, these erstwhile partisan hacks, the sham of Russiagate still upon their hands, have joined team Trump in the persecution of a journalist
whom they view as hostile to their politics.
While they continue to misrepresent the truth, if not outright lie,
about Assange’s case--as is their wont on issues of the state--it’s important to remember
these are the same sources that got nearly all the facts wrong in the Russiagate
debacle. You'd think audiences would be wary of MSM manipulations by now, but it seems some people don’t want the
truth. They’d rather believe in unsubstantiated cloak & dagger plots than accept
that their own government is as corrupt & inhumane as any in the world. For some, it’s more palatable to gobble up the idea that Assange's publication of leaked DNC emails cost Clinton the election--& probably sainthood, too--than to choke down the bitter pill that she's a corrupt warmonger who’s slightly less likable than kidney stones, or worse, Trump. Sorry, America, but it’s like my great-great-great-uncle Jake used
to say, you can’t spell “suck ass” without USA.
In fact, with the exception of a couple of letters, “suck ass” is wholly a
product of USA. Now there's American exceptionalism for you.
