> There's very little mention of this in the news.

Associated Press, NPR, CBS, Yahoo News, Washington Post, The Guardian, The Independent, Reuters UK, France24, Sydney Morning Herald and SKY News all covered this.



When you can even find an article about Assange from these mainstream rags, buried under pages of coivd/climate/race-baiting "news", it is invariably in support of his continued incarceration and punishment.


It was pretty easy for me to go to most of those websites that the user linked to, and find the Assange headline with very little scrolling, often only the fifth or sixth article down - not "buried under pages", but still a part of equally important news from around the world. Where I couldn't find it a couple of times on the front pages, it was at or towards the top of the "Tech" section, and then only superceded by FB's Meta announcement.


Please provide links and direct quotes for evidence that the news organizations I linked to published news with a bias "in support of his continued incarceration and punishment."


The guy you replied to seems to be correct.


I just checked CBS News, Yahoo News, Washington Post and the Guardian.

None of them have this mentioned on their front pages. So, maybe they had a 20-second bit about it at some point, to claim that they covered it, but - they're suppressing this story.


For all of 15 seconds?
