WikiLeaks drivel, media disgrace

***

The liberal media, busily lauding WikiLeaks’ founder Julian Assange, are as daft as the readers who scarf up this drivel (“Media Adore Info Anarchist,” Brent Bozell, PostOpinion, Dec. 9).

The New York Times would not publish hacked e-mails from the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University on the grounds that they were stolen, but it had no problem publishing purloined confidential cables from its own government.

I’m happy to see these fools out in the open. Give them enough rope and they will hang themselves.

If the media have any say in the matter, once Julian Assange is extradited to Sweden, he’ll probably be given a lovely condo in the Roman Polanski villa, plus a monthly stipend.

Brent Bozell writes about how the liberal media see Assange as a First Amendment hero, even at the possible cost of lives.

Time Magazine editor Richard Stengel states that it’s not the media’s job to “protect the US.” If not, then do journalists have a duty to put information out there for public consumption, no matter how damaging?

Assange has no loyalty to the United States, but for an American journalist to defend the harm he brings to our country is sick.
