Media silent on dismissal of DNC suit against Julian Assange - World Socialist Web Site
A federal court ruling last Tuesday dismissing a Democratic National
Committee (DNC) civil suit against Julian Assange “with prejudice” was a
devastating indictment of the US ruling elite’s campaign to destroy the
WikiLeaks founder. It exposed as a fraud the entire “Russiagate”
conspiracy theory peddled by the Democratic Party, the corporate media
and the intelligence agencies for the past three years.
The decision, by Judge John Koeltl of the US District Court for the
Southern District of New York, rejected the smears that Assange
“colluded” with Russia. It upheld his status as a journalist and
publisher and dismissed claims that WikiLeaks’ 2016 publication of
leaked emails from the DNC was “illegal.”
Despite the significance of the ruling, and its clear newsworthiness,
it has been subjected to an almost complete blackout by the entire
media in the US and internationally.
The universal silence on the court decision—extending from the New York Times (which buried a six-paragraph report on the ruling on page 25) and the Washington Post, to “alternative” outlets such as the Intercept,
the television evening news programs and the publications of the
pseudo-left—can be described only as a coordinated political conspiracy.
Its aim is to suppress any discussion of the court’s exposure of the
slanders used to malign and isolate Assange, and to justify the
unprecedented international pursuit of him over WikiLeaks’ exposure of
US war crimes, surveillance operations and diplomatic conspiracies.
The New York Times, the Washington Post and other
corporate outlets have relentlessly smeared Assange as a “Russian agent”
and depicted him as the linchpin of a conspiracy hatched in Moscow to
deprive Democratic Party candidate Hillary Clinton of the presidency in
the 2016 US elections.
