US not interested in Assange extradition 'saga': ambassador

[red dog 1]

23. "The fact that something is a big deal on DU does not mean it's a big deal in the real world"

implies that DU is not even a small part of "the real world",,..It ultimately comes down to semantics...How do you define "real world"?.....Isn't the Internet a part of the "real world"?..Don't DUers live in the "real world"?...
Aren't WikiLeaks, Julian Assange and Bradley Manning all part of the "real world"?

You are wrong saying "it's not a topic on the national news broadcasts".
It's not a topic that's covered every single day, perhaps, .. but MSM AND the alternative media such as Huffington Post et. al. ARE covering this story, but only when there are new developments, ...such as Assange losing his British court battle to avoid extradition to Sweden, his seeking asylum at the Equadorian embassy, and Bradley Manning's trial.....Those events were and are being covered by the MSM, including the national news broadcasts.

One thing I can agree with you on, however, is
"DU is a very small corner of the Internet full of smart, politically aware Democrats that are much more informed and passionate about what is happening in the world than the average American."
