If Assange is extradited and then convicted in the US, freedom of the press is a dead letter, but the UK and US mainstream media are not supporting him. From George Galloway at rt.com:
Having myself been born onto the path of resistance and having by reason of chance and circumstance little choice but to resist, I am drawn to those who have chosen to stand there with me when not only had they alternatives, but in some cases already secured for themselves a place in the firmament of privilege. One such person spoke alongside me at the recent Assange Rally in London live-streamed to a huge audience by RT.
The Hon Craig Murray already had a glittering career in the British Foreign Office, Her Majesty’s Ambassador is no small thing to be even in these shrunken times for British foreign policy.
