    Good interview, thanks for posting. Impressed by Blumenthal's steady clearsightedness. Also, like Assange, that it's not just about him but the wider issue of how dissident journalists get treated, as well as the everyday discrimination faced by black people and other minorities in the rotten judicial/prison system.

    Every once in a while I have to pinch myself to remind myself that interviews like this are not viewed by the majority of the population; that the most relevant information is being actively suppressed by the organisations that are managing our perceptions and shepherding news-consumers to the least threatening stories (along with the outright lies from corp/intel/govt officials). If everybody read dissident journalism on a regular basis I think it would be impossible for those in power to get away with half the sh1t they do now.

    cheers,
    I
