Biden Administration CONFRONTED About Julian Assange! (Jimmy Dore)

Wednesday was International Press Freedom Day, and the Biden administration celebrated by pretending to care about press freedom while keeping the most important journalist of his generation imprisoned for reporting that embarrassed the United States government. Medea Benjamin and CODEPINK celebrated by confronting U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Washington Post imperialism cheerleader David Ignatius on stage about their duplicity over Assange.

Guest host Aaron Maté and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the poignancy of the CODEPINK action on Press Freedom Day.



A key thing mentioned in the clip is that Assange was careful to protect classified information. It was the mainstream journos he was working with that released a password that allowed full access to the leaked documents. Nothing happened to them, but Assange was charged. There is no case to keep him in prison. The big problem for Assange is he massively trashed the neocons and then Hillary Clinton with those DNC emails.
