Julian Assange.

I have watched the founder of Wikileaks two programmes on RT and was quite impressed. His lack of experience as an interviewer has allowed his interviews to be relaxed and the people he has interviewed have been allowed to do most of the talking. I won't go into detail about the people he spoke to, you can go to RT's website and watch for yourselves. The aspect I want to highlight is the hysteria that has broken out in the mainstream western media. Almost without exception, RT have been condemned for giving the controversial head of Wikileaks a platform to air his and so called undesirables opinions. This, to my eyes, is blatant double standards, especially in light of the lack of condemnation of both the Bahrain government and the head of formula 1 for allowing the grand prix to go ahead despite at leas one death in the hours leading up to the start of the race and also the attempted firebombing of a Team India car as it was heading back to the team hotel.
Usually, I am in favour of keeping politics and sport completely apart, but in this case, the sport in question was being used by the Bahrain government to portray the country as being stable, when, clearly, it was far from that.
As for Julian Assange, I believe that he deserves to be given a voice to highlight exactly what he and Wikileaks are actually trying to achieve and no holier than thou media moguls have the right to prevent anyone from their right to free speech.
I think there is more to come from this story.
