Fake News: Guardian Caught Deceptively Editing Quotes from Julian Assange Interview

The Guardian published fake news earlier this week, selectively editing quotes from WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange about the Russian press and Donald Trump.

Ben Jacobs wrote an article at The Guardian titled, “Julian Assange gives guarded praise of Trump and blasts Clinton in interview.” Both of these claims are provably false within The Guardian’s own article and are a blatant misrepresentation of Assange’s statements.

There are no editors left. Jornsl8sm standards are out the window. It is time 2nd Amendment mentioned protections for the “press” be repealed.

We were much better off before Gutenberg invented the printing press.

Dude, you need an editor.

I think the real problem began when Algore invented the internet.

I need to get rid of spell check and auto correct on this phone.

It was was funny, ironic.

“Freedom of the press” doesn’t actually refer to media organizations. It means the right to communication and expression, which applies to everyone, and applies to this very exercise we’re engaged in now communicating with each other on this website.

The First Amendment most certainly does NOT grant any special privileges to media professionals. The privileges they do enjoy are legislative, not Constitutional.

Ben Jacobs and The Guardian were also responsible for starting the false rumor that Trump told Asian nations that in the event of a North Korean attack "Good luck, enjoy yourself folks", when this comment was actually directed to some audience members who were leaving the room, which is apparent in the original video, as I pointed out at the time. Ben Jacobs' reporting is some of the most blatantly dishonest and recklessly irresponsible journalism I have seen (and that's saying a lot).

Ping to #10.

There is sometimes no bigger lie than a giant half truth, and that is what Liberal/Left “news” sources have been doing as far back as I can remember - selectively cut and paste in only the facts that fit the story they have predetermined to tell.

Jim Robinson and sites like his (Drudge, Breitbart, etc.) ARE the press now. And we want them to be free forever. In the end, the Lord will judge us all. That is the part the folks in bad press, to which you refer, want to forget.

It changes the words just as you hit send so you don’t see what it changes. And what it changes is so odd. Anyhow, glad to give you a laugh.

Largely true. Corporate media is a joke. Random acts of journalism still occur, but most of it is crap.
