CNN reporter ... faced with documents revealing the killing/murder of over 100 000 people in Iraq ... completely ignores this ... and instead launches into some weird character-assassination attempt on the messenger (Julian Assange):
The interview starts with something like: "There have been 'a lot of reports' of internal disputes within Wikileaks .... 'People' have said that they've quit etc...". The CNN "reporter" then has to admit that the whole "internal disputes" tangent has been constructed for her around just one former staffer (who had been suspended by wikileaks) ... she nonetheless continues to try and make the whole interview about that disgruntled former employee's personal views of Lassange ... spouting doozies like: "this criticism that the story around you is eclipsing the work of Wikileaks ... must concern you ... etc". The irony in her own line of questioning (culminating in that last question) apparently didn't strike her .
And one wonders if this astoundingly stupid (or "sold-out") reporter really considers herself to be doing ... "journalism". I'm surprised Lassange didn't tell her to go f***k herself. Yet this kind of drivel passes for serious news-coverage in the USA. One can imagine that this is meant to make everybody forget the very real, very serious and very troublingly "newsworthy" (and legal) questions that are raised by the death of these many tens of thousands of people.
