Julian Assange: FOX News Is Closer to Terrorism Than WikiLeaks
Say what you will about Julian Assange, but the guy's smart as a whip. In an interview with MSNBC yesterday, the WIkiLeaks captain eloquently and vehemently defended his First Amendment rights, while decrying the U.S. media's "digital McCarthyism," entailing a call for his assassination. As he sat in the English manor home where he is under house arrest, Assange looked cool under fire, dismissive of his detractors and befuddled by their fury. (Video after break.)

3. Absolutely true.
And we should have known better since we were fighting Communism for so many decades. Our leaders just picked up their practices.

5. Sounds a lot like Bush or Cheney
Everything we don't like is "terrorism."

It does not take much brains to notice that Fox News is idiotic.

15. Agree. Fox lies for political muscle.
Edited on Thu Dec-23-10 10:06 PM by PufPuf23
Fox allows hires propogandizers for staff and directly or indirectlly from the USG for message control.
