[Peace-discuss] Goodman/Assange

[Karen Aram]

I never watch DN anymore, given she is so little different from mainstream media. She was very unfair to him in respect to coverage of Roger Stone etc.

In relation to her interview with Assange on Catalonia, as he supports independence, I felt he was a bit naive, much to my surprise, given he’s a very bright guy. He suggested mainstream media coverage and support for Catalonian independence as being a result of Catalonia not possessing oil, thus journalists can be free to say as they like.

It’s not all about the oil, its about total control of the world, its about Europe and small vulnerable nations relations to Nato, and the EU.

When MS media most especially NYT or Washington Post covers anything positively, one must be suspect.

However, he made one very important point: “the people of Catalonia being beaten and seriously oppressed by the Spanish government, and not one scene of any of the people fighting back” is important. They were utilizing the tactics of “non-violence” which brings about world support for their cause, I don’t support independence, but I certainly support the Catalonia people.

A testy dynamic  between Amy Goodman and Julian Assange--no longer BFFs due to sexual assault charges against Assange, etc., (although Goodman will not simply as Assange what happened or did not happen in Sweden), as well as the credibility Goodman gives to Russiagate charges.
