This made me realize I have heard ZERO news on Assange after his arrest, and the likelihood of him being tortured and rendered and railroaded of course means our nation (US) of laws and rights is a sham.

Don't tell me it's boring, this should be a sideshow for the media like OJ. Rape trial? Russian meddling? Little guy vs the government? International intrigue?

Crickets.

A truly independent media would be tracking his case to make sure due process is followed, but we all know what media is in the age of corporate conglomeration and oligarchy.



He is sitting his 50 week sentence in HM Prison Belmarsh in UK and has access to lawyers. Media is tracking his case. There is nothing to report.

There are people who spew up conspiracy theories on the spot when they have not heard anything, from pure ignorance, yet they speak ill of mainstream media.


Hes also sitting in the medical ward due to multiple issues, including mental issues. I dont think the news wants to report on his declining health.


How did you learn that?

It's much easier than knowing what you're talking about.


If they are tracking where is the news about Jullian Assange.


You read about him on progressive media, some principled journalists. But nowhere in the mainstream news
