Viner and her kind, aren't working directly for the deep state. They sincerely believe they are free, independent minded individuals, engaged in a fierce and difficult struggle to maintain the best of our shared liberal democratic values. Viner and Rusbridger are... sincere, they believe... passionately. In my opinion this is precisely what makes them so dangerous. Freedom, what crimes have been committed in thy name. I take their opinions and beliefs with a pinch of salt. People believe an awaful lot of shit I think is crazy. There's nowt queer as folk, after all. What annoys me is that we've a culture that elevates people like these to positions of power and influence, and that now they've joined a campaing to silence dissent and give virtually no space to people who strongly disagree with them and can explain why. They clamp down on democratic debate at the same time they maintain they are defending it to the hilt. Notice they don't classify Assange as a journalist or a publisher, himself; only that the attacks on him could undermine their own journalism and publication rights.
