On NPR's weekend show On The Media (produced by radio station WNYC), New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller reacted badly to NPR's Bob Garfield suggesting Julian Assange of WikiLeaks was a "looter" or a smasher of windows. Keller insisted the document dump has "more value" than that metaphor, that the dump is "absolutely fascinating...like a graduate seminar" on international relations. It's a "ridiculous standard" to insist these finds must be Earth-shattering to be a positive development: BOB GARFIELD: Now, the stories so far have been revealing but unsurprising, it seems to me, and not especially indicting.

So, we have traitors praising the value of an international spy who has blood on his hands. This is not at all surprising.
How about a little insider dirt on NPR? We are paying part of their bill after all.
We aren’t seeing any dirt on NPR or the Slimes because Assange is their tool and ideal source.
What we are seeing is nothing less than a global coup d’ etat by the media-industrial complex. Wikileaks’ chief clients and defenders are the professional media. His minor adherents, like these script kiddie saboteurs, are media culture sympathizers and wannabes.
These same assholes were calling for jail time for the person who leaked the Global Warming emails.
F*** them.
They hate the US and they show it every chance they get.
The libs at work are defending this accused rapist as well, calling him a “hero”
Bill Clinton raped women too, and the left defended him with the same vigor.
“So, we have traitors praising the value of an international spy who has blood on his hands. This is not at all surprising.”
argh we have some of it here
I keep reading this and wondering what blood is on his hands. I am really curious to know.
The banks are bad, the government is bad, our leaders are bad and almost every major institution is corrupt. Everybody is bad, bad, bad. The world is bad and full of badness and bad people! Except for Assange who is good! So very, very good and so much better than all the bad people. He is the savior of all good people. Oh the graditude I feel is just soooooo.....whatever!
Praise Assange! He is so good and brave and truth loving. He should be our leader! Yes because he is so perfect and so much better than almost everyone else. We should elect him president....of the world! Because he’s mad at all the bad people and he CARES!
Of course... WE are the bad people he must save us from.
Err... As one of the people who actually did invent the ethernet, this is exactly what it is for.
It’s not just the document dump. This is just one part of an organized attack on the US.
