U.S. To Give Money Directly To Imprisoned Journalists – But NOT Assange! (Jimmy Dore)

USAID head and longstanding warmonger Samantha Power was pleased to use International Press Freedom Day to announce that her agency will be providing funds to journalists around the globe who face repression and censure. A journalist NOT receiving U.S. largesse will be Julian Assange who, while definitely in need of the money to help free himself from prison, is unlucky enough to be under lock and key at the U.S. government’s behest, so he’s not eligible.

Guest host Aaron Maté and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how U.S. government representatives can keep a straight face while exhibiting such rank hypocrisy when talking about freedom of the press.
