When Julian Assange broke the shocking story about US war crimes in Iraq, his media organization, Wikileaks, partnered with major global news outlets like the New York Times, El Pais, Le Monde and Der Spiegel to share the news with a worldwide audience. Now, just a decade later, those news outlets are coming together to defend Assange and, in a joint open letter, call for the charges against him to be dropped.
Jimmy and The Convo Couch’s Craig “Pasta” Jardula discuss the case against Assange and how pathetic it is that the Times is only now coming around to expressing support for a fellow journalist who has been targeted by the full brunt of US state power.

Seen when crimes are classified information.
I'm glad that they are FINALLY doing the right thing but this is insane. This man has been a prisoner and under threat for reporting facts, literally being a journalist has been criminalized it is horrifying. I hope he's released and compensated.
Wow. It sure took them long enough.
The woke ? Dreaming? Free Julian Assad
HRC isn't in the running for power anymore so now these outlets can attempt to actually do their job. Pathetic.
Expect Chris Hedges to capitalize on this little nugget of news by making appearances on Jimmy's show, Briahna's podcast, Krystal Kyle and Friends, etc, etc … This is how he maintains his place in the Indy media food chain … ya see, he'll talk your leg off about Assange, Snowden, Donzinger and Ukraine so he won't have to comment on the passports, mandates, the related injuries, deaths and the larger issues of tyranny which are now in our face!
because Hillary just declared war on Biden, he'll pardon him if he needs it against her
Tin Foil hat time!!! Assange may Epstein himself and now the press gets to stand behind the message they were backing him and him being pardoned!
you wouldnt read about it
Time for the Times too man up yes we said it MAN UP.
"Who wrote this, Cenk Uygur?" Lol. Nice one Jimmy
They didn't just wake up and smell the coffee and decide to report on it. Approval was handed down from the top to print anything about him. They probably hate him.
They finally learnt that they are next
"The NY times is a piece of shit, fuckin' propaganda rag, run by billionaires in bed with the military industrial complex and the government." I love this man.
We all know The NY Times is in bed with the war criminals in the US government.
The New York Times cowardice during their initial leaks about the nsa's dragnet of America populace in the early 2000's and their attacks on Assange to distance themselves from him in the 2010's should signal to anyone of intelligence that they're not trustworthy
FREE JULIAN ASSANGE!!!!!
Are the socalled "hacking related" issues a reason to ultimatly arrest him and prosecute him on other charges???
all govts are corrupt as he!!
Crimes are not okay if they are unclassified
It's all fake Jimmy. Julian Assange is just another diversion to keep the sheep talking on endlessly
Why take so long?
"journalistic-style activities"
So they try to draw a line between journalists who are protected by 1st amendment and those who aren't.
The New York Times defending him isn't good considering the NYT is a trash paper full of trash people – liars, actually. They just held Bankman-Fried up as a GOOD example in the finance world. If they want Assange released, I assume Assange is an evil person who should be buried under the jail.
Der Spiegel is the same sh*t as the NYT. Getting paid by Bill Gates and making stories up if it fits the narrative or censoring stuff when it doesn't.
This is bad news. The timing can only mean that Assange is about to be extradited to the United States, after which these papers will point to their 'objections' and claim their independence from the state through this brief objection, made far too late, and almost trivially stated.
Keeping me sane… Thank You Jimmy! – “This is the New York Times. This is why we have a show. Because the New York Times is a piece of shit, fucking propaganda rag run by billionaires in bed with the military industrial complex and the government. And here’s how you know that… Read this fucking article”
Jimmy…announce a free Julien Assange day and we will all pledge to not log into any social media or buy anything online on that day…if that doesnt work announce 2 days of protest …they will lose billions worldwide…if Rogan,Jones,Tripoli,Dore,and Musk pushed and advertised it it would be tens of millions in the U.S. alone…this issue crosses political,cultural,and racial lines
Assange has probably agreed to provide false testimony against Orange Satan.
Star Witness for the Accusers: Mr. Siggy Thordarson, diagnosed Sociopath, Pedophile and Embezzler retracted his testimony on an Icelandic news show. That's all you need to know.
if the NYT is defending Assange it can only mean that the fix is in and Assange will soon tragically die and the NYT and smugly assert that they were on the right side of history before he died
SALT LAKE CITY CONTRACTS….KILLED.15 MILLION IN 52 YEARS. PIT AMALGAM ..COPORATE ENTERPRISE….HOMELESS ..PROBLEM…
That The Guardian is a participant in that farce is doubly disgusting.
I believe all along, Julian's "style" of journalism is truth-telling.
they have taken 12 years to get half way there….. maybe another decade before they get the story right.
