(62,325 posts)you don't see him on the US MSM doesn't mean he has not spoken about his reasons for believing in a free and open press or about the war crimes, not just from the Bush years, but in other countries whose corruption Wikileaks has exposed.
Your lack of knowledge of this fact demonstrates ironically that what he says is true. That without a media that reports the facts, people will remain ignorant of those facts. Assange just completed several TV interviews some with prominent people who stand up for human rights eg, the new President of Tunisia, a well known human rights activist who was jailed under the Ben Ami regime for his human rights activism.
Stop depending on the MSM, they would show an interview like that, despite how newsworthy it was considering the recent revolution in Tunisia and the fact that a famous Human Rights Activist is now president of Tunisia. Who, btw, thanked Assange for his courageous stand on human rights and help in exposing Tunisia's corrupt, brutal regime known for its human rights abuses.
