I always enjoy reading what you post. I have another more obvious example of Western Media bias in relation to the Assange case to tie into this thread. This time it's an article from todays Telegraph UK in regards to the naming of the women bringing the allegations against Assange. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/wikileaks/9490463/Julian-Assange-Swedish-prosecutors-censure-sex-case-naming-diplomat.html Check this excerpt: Mr Murray, who was sacked by the Foreign Office in 2004, defended his comments in a blog yesterday, arguing her name was widespread on the internet and had been published in other countries.
The father-of-three, who left his wife of 20 years for a woman he met in a lap dancing club in Uzbekistan in 2003, also accused the BBC of hypocrisy.
What relevancy Mr. Murrays private life plays in this matter I have no idea. But I speculate that it is to create an impression in the readers mind that Mr. Murray is lecherous. An obvious example of a British newspaper (albeit one that obviously leans right) spreading propaganda.
These media tactics in regards to the framing of the Assange case are very obvious and ironic considering Wikileaks is essentially doing the job the press was supposed to do (challenging the powers that be and exposing corruption) these days.
