In reply to the discussion: Chris Hayes on Julian Assange from Today's Show [View all]Swagman
(1,934 posts)3. I thought it was just me and I must be going mad
I've rarely seen a case like this where many are able to isolate parts of the Assange affair and not see the whole.
It's been illuminating to watch the denigration of Assange as though his persona is actually important.
If there ever was a case of 'shoot the messenger' this is one and he was often being shot by the good guys.
It's frightened me.
