Caitlin Johnstone, Glenn Greenwald, Max Blumenthal, Rania Khalek, Aaron Mate, Robert Scheer, Jimmy Dore, Ryan Knight, and Hard Lens Media give me a reasonably accurate picture of the mountains of crap pulled by my country on any given day. It's apparent that one must go outside those employed by corporate media to get this information. All else is comfy cheerleading.

BTW Caitlin, I appreciate the amount of work you're putting out of late. I noticed.

Given The Guardian's history with Luke Harding, it's less than shocking for the site to publish this nonsense. "In 2011 Guardian journalists David Leigh and Luke Harding published a book, WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange’s War on Secrecy. The book provided a passphrase to the unredacted US cables.

The passphrase Leigh and Harding disclosed featured prominently in a chapter heading of the book. It’s worth mentioning that Harding was also co-author of a Guardian article that claimed Paul Manafort, Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, met with Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in London. In an exclusive, The Canary went on to report the claim that the story was false."
