The Borowitz Report - Democracy Dies in Bezos

[snot]

13. I was around DU in those old days;

and funny, I never saw any actual evidence that those journalists were "frauds."

There were, e.g., attempts by TPTB, which universally feared exposure of their own corruption and mistakes, to discredit Assange; but all of their smears were in turn discredited. The US government's only witness against him, a convicted fraudster who was promised leniency in exchange for testifying against Assange, recanted his allegations and never testified. The US's own indictments ended up alleging nothing more than that Assange published leaked info which the US had classified, but US officials repeatedly admitted in court that they could not name a single instance in which anyone had been seriously harmed as a result of Wikileaks publications; and nothing in the final version of the charges against Assange differed from things that other MSM publishers had done – if Assange broke the Espionage Act, so did the NYT et al.

Please feel free to link to any DU archive files that you believe contain actual evidence that has not been discredited.
