DJ, I enjoy your insights gleaned from within the belly of the beast Best case scenario, these Guardian types are ignorant snobs... worst case scenario they know what they're doing: which is to assist (one way or another, wittingly or unwittingly) in (i) grooming the public to reflexively dismiss Assange as a stinky creep and (ii) creating a legal loophole by depicting Assange as anything but a journalist... which fits the US-Swedish extradition slipway ---- --- This tweet from @FilmsKipunji: "Please demand from these media polluters @guardian & @MarinaHyde ...who gave Luke Harding the idea behind the "not a journalist" [trope] which is one of the ways they are trying to create this legal loophole. Who is Luke Harding working for? Please reply in the public interest"
