I have not yet had time to listen but put it out there for anyone who might be curious. I shall try later. I don’t see a list of Freedland’s guest hacks. Whatever became of Mary? Why did she vanish? I miss her busy researches. She would instantly supply names and biographies on all involved.
I expect the question whether Assange is a “real” journalist will be duly pondered. But the broadcast might repay analysis. Exegetes of the Dave Spartacus school will want to remind us of their considered opinion that Freedland is a twat, perhaps even an ubertwat corpohack, but perhaps we could take all that stuff as read.
