News Media Who Ignore The Assange Trial Are Admitting They Don’t Care About Journalism

September 18, 2020 Caitlin Johnstone. Educate! Journalism, Julian Assange, Press Freedom, Wikileaks

The Sydney Morning Herald just published an article titled “Julian Assange interrupts extradition hearing again” about the WikiLeaks founder’s correct interjection that he never put anyone’s lives in danger with the publication of the Manning leaks a decade ago. It’s actually a rather shocking smear piece for the SMH, who has been one of the better Australian publications at giving Assange a fair hearing over the years. The article’s author Latika Bourke spends an inordinate amount of time waxing on about Assange’s naughty “outburst” and how he was reprimanded for it by the judge...

Day Nine: Julian Assange Extradition Hearing

September 16, 2020 Craig Murray. Educate! Extradition, Journalism, Julian Assange, Wikileaks

Things became not merely dramatic in the Assange courtroom today, but spiteful and nasty. There were two real issues, the evidence and the procedure. On the evidence, there were stark details of the dreadful regime Assange will face in US jails if extradited. On the procedure, we saw behaviour from the prosecution QC that went well beyond normal cross examination and was a real attempt to denigrate and even humiliate the witness. I hope to prove that to you by a straightforward exposition of what happened today in court, after which I shall add further comment.

Trump’s War On Journalism Takes Center Stage

September 14, 2020 Kevin Gosztola, Shadowproof. Educate! Extradition, Journalism, Julian Assange, Trump

In the last half-century, journalists James Bamford, Ben Bradlee, Seymour Hersh, and Neil Sheehan were each threatened with prosecution under the Espionage Act. But the U.S. government never followed through with Espionage Act charges against a journalist until 2019, when WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was arrested and charged. Trevor Timm, the executive director for the Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF), told a magistrate court judge, “[President Donald] Trump’s administration is moving to explicitly criminalize national security journalism, and if this prosecution is allowed to go forward, dozens of reporters at the New York Times, Washington Post and elsewhere would also be in danger.”

Journalists are under attack globally for doing their jobs. Julian Assange is facing a 175 year sentence for publishing if extradited to the United States. The Trump administration has gone from denigrating journalists as ‘enemies of the people’ to now criminalizing common practices in journalism that have long served the public interest. Imprisoned WikiLeaks founder and editor Assange’s extradition is being sought by the Trump administration, in a hearing to begin Sept. 7, for publishing U.S. government documents, which exposed war crimes and human rights abuses.

Journalist Blinded By Cops Speaks Out

June 26, 2020 Alan Macleod, Mintpress News. Educate! Freedom of the Press, Health Care, Journalism, Police violence, White Supremacy

Journalist and photographer Linda Tirado was standing near a police line in Minneapolis May 29, covering the George Floyd protests engulfing the city. All of a sudden, her face “exploded” in her own words. She had been shot from close range in the eye, permanently blinding her. Her goggles shattered and tear gas entered the wound, causing even more pain. The police had shot her. Protestors pulled her away from her attackers, put her into a vehicle and drove her to the hospital where they were unable to save her eye, but were able to give her a $58,000 bill, likely the first of many. Now, in a wide-ranging interview with writer Luke O’Neil, she spoke out about the ordeal, brutal policing, and the state of America today.

Online And Independent: The Future Of Journalism Is Already Here

June 20, 2020 Andrew Tarantola, Engadget. Create! Alternative media, Journalism, Media, Media Democracy

The modern news industry is in crisis. For years, formerly stalwart publications have been bought up, hollowed out, and sold for scrap by predatory (and often utterly incompetent) venture capital firms. The recent global outbreak of COVID-19 has further shattered the business as reporters and editors have been furloughed, or outright laid off, en masse. Now, as demonstrations across the country protesting George Floyd’s death at the knees of a Minneapolis cop grow in both scope and intensity, traditional newsrooms are finding their resources to cover these events spread thin. But into that coverage void has stepped a new generation of independent, internet-based journalists bringing the voices of the people in the streets to the eyes and ears of the American public, all without paywalls.

Fortress On A Hill: Interview With Robert ‘Bob’ Scheer

April 28, 2020 Danny Sjursen, Fortress on a Hill. Educate! Danny Sjursen, Journalism, Podcast, Robert Scheer

All right, well, hey, listeners, we have another really solid interview today. And I guess we're kind of running the old TruthDig circuit right now. We had Chris Hedges last week, who some of you have probably already listened to that episode, which was was really solid. And now we've got the boss. Although he probably wouldn't like the term, Robert 'Bob' Scheer, who, you know, is senior editor over there, you know, founder, you know, co founder just really started up the whole TruthDig scene. And, and the thing that's interesting about Bob is, you know, we have more than a little of a personal relationship these days, but I'm constantly learning about him. And, you know, I'll mention it, but we just all watched the documentary on bob above the fold. And, you know, I thought I knew everything about him. And I was just totally blown away by some of the aspects of his career.

BRASILIA (Reuters) - A Brazilian judge indicted six people accused of hacking the phones of prosecutors in the country’s biggest corruption case on Thursday, but held off “for now” on accepting cybercrimes charges against U.S. journalist Glenn Greenwald. The judge, Ricardo Soares Leite, said the Supreme Court had to rule first on an earlier injunction shielding Greenwald from investigation before he could decide on the indictment, which charges Greenwald.

Is Assange Covered By The Same Constitutional Rights As U.S. Citizens?

February 7, 2020 Angel Fox, Angelof-truth.com Educate! Constitution, Journalism, Julian Assange

The U.S. government is attempting to set a dangerous precedent not only against journalists but its own Constitution by stating in last Thursday’s Assange hearing. They say that Julian Assange has no rights in this case as a foreigner. The problem with this statement is very clear. The Constitution of the United States was written to protect human rights against government that seeks to harm the individual.

Snowden Warns Targeting Of Greenwald And Assange Shows Governments ‘Ready To Stop The Presses—If They Can’

January 29, 2020 By Jessica Corbett, Commondreams.org Educate! Edward Snowden, Journalism, Julian Assange, Repression

In an op-ed published Sunday night by the Washington Post, National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden connected Brazilian federal prosecutors' recent decision to file charges against American investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald to the U.S. government's efforts to prosecute WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. "The most essential journalism of every era is precisely that which a government attempts to silence. These prosecutions demonstrate that they are ready to stop the presses—if they can."
