Breakdown of the Manning verdict

[No Elephants]

Kevin Gosztola of FDL has been one of few reporters attending the trial daily. Democracy Now has had him on several times to report about the case. I don't think anyone knows more about the Manning case. He has a particular focus on whistleblowers--regardless of what a court, the MSM or the RW may call them.

His break down of the verdict is here:

1. Thank you for sharing that. nt

2. Jane Hamsher, owner of the FDL board, was on MSNBC yesterday talking about Manning.

Apparently, she visited him in prison.

I don't know if they'll ever have her on again. They did not seem to like her take as it differs from that of the Obama administration.

3. Of course they don't like her take.

Her words strayed outside the official narrative. As we have seen demonstrated time and again, MSNBC simply will not allow anyone to stray far from the official narrative.
