"Journalism: Then And Now"
—Ben Garrison
In the movie "The Post," Tom
Hanks played JFK’s friend, executive editor Ben Bradlee.
The film portrayed him, his reporters, and the owner of The Washington Post as heroes for publishing secrets from the Pentagon Papers — despite Nixon’s threat of legal action.
Journalism has changed considerably since then. Newspapers have encountered drastic reductions in advertising and readers. Newspapers also cut back on investigative journalism due to its expense and tendency to attract lawsuits. It was easier for newspapers to play it safe and run politically correct, homogenized, canned material.
The corporate media think they get to decide who are journalists and who are not. They claim Assange is not a journalist, but they’re wrong. His work is no different from what the New York Times did 50 years ago. They won Pulitzer Prizes, while Assange wins jail time and even the threat of execution. We know that Hillary, the bloodthirsty butcher of Gaddafi, wanted a drone to execute him at the Ecuadorian embassy.
She and her Deep State want him silenced—perhaps permanently.
