This Assange Supporter Excoriating The Press Is The Best Thing You\u2019ll Watch All\u00a0Day<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Julian Assange\u2019s latest US extradition hearing was a brief affair which saw the WikiLeaks founder\u2019s next hearing scheduled<\/a> for sometime after the end of February, nearly at the end<\/a> of his 50-week sentence for a bail conditions violation. According to Reuters<\/em><\/a> Assange was lucid and spirited enough to argue with the prosecution a bit, telling the American lawyer via videolink, \u201cI didn\u2019t break any password whatsoever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that\u2019s somewhat encouraging. A short time earlier, on the other side of the Westminster Magistrates courthouse wall, a far more animated scene had just been live-streamed to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a lively pro-Assange demonstration outside, independent reporter and political commentator Gordon Dimmack<\/a> took the bullhorn, pointed it at the press crew which had gathered awaiting news from the courthouse, and delivered a scathing rebuke<\/a> to them which is about the most delightful and cathartic thing that an Assange supporter can possibly watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
