(62,325 posts)open press, they die when secret courts and secret warrants and secret 'citizen lists' are allowed to fester.
Thanks to all the actual Journalists, publishers, bloggers, Liberal Organizations, the Civil Liberties Union, Eff, and the growing number of courageous Whistle Blowers, like Snowden, Binney, Drake, Tice among others, this Democracy is surviving, despite all the attempts to silence the Press. And of course to Wikileaks who published the first leaked documents on the Global Corruption among the Big Banks which eventually toppled the World's economies, except for Iceland's thanks to Assange and Wikileaks and the leakers. Iceland arrested and prosecuted their corrupt Bankers and Politicians, and then the campaign to prevent Journalists from doing it again, began.
Which is why the phony 'case' against Assange came to be. And the attempted smear campaign against other Liberal ORgs, and bloggers, like Greenwald, exposed by Anonymous.
They cannot silence people, though they are working hard to do so. They shut one up, like Chelsea Manning, and another one emerges.
Secrecy destroys Democracy.
