I thought Assange had said “pardon” ... went back & looked at Wiki tweets & it did say clemency so I’m wrong on that.

The news media has not helped the confusion & here’s one example (foxnews no less!) ... probably why I thought it was “pardon”:

Trusting reporting has its perils.

Having said that I think a lot of what we interpret as bias is simply bad reporting and editing.

Too bad so sad. Did they get it in writing all nice n legal? What? No....they didn’t?

Good for Assange. Nothing but an idiot would agree to come to the USA to get locked away in Quantico to wait for a kangaroo FISA court proceeding with a predetermined outcome of most of your life.
