This is a great review of recent media censorship on the #ASSANGE case. We need to draw some hard conclusions about what the hell is going on here. It's not good!
Here's a short thread with some highlights... #FreeASSANGE fair.org/home/deathly-s…

BBC totally ignored the CIA assassination plot except for this story from BBC Somalia. Not a single @BBCNews tweet about #Assange or #WikiLeaks for over 9 months. No tweets from @BBCWorld since April 2020.

Neither the New York Times or Washington Post have published any articles about Assange since July 2021. Australia's @abcnews ignored the CIA murder plot (and Siggi's retraction/jailing) but published this story about angry supporters. abc.net.au/news/2021-10-0…
The Guardian reported twice on the CIA plot to kill Assange - by comparison they ran 16 stories about Putin's plot to kill Navalny.
A Nexis search of UK newspapers for “Navalny” brings up 288 results compared to 29 results for “Assange”.

Of course, this media silence opens a space for independent journalists like @Consortiumnews @aaronjmate @AlanRMacLeod @TheGrayzoneNews @declassifiedUK to cover these bombshell stories.
MSM have not even complained about #UCglobal CIA spying on their own journos in the embassy!

My conclusion: the West is sliding towards authoritarianism as Neoliberal Capitalism dies, so every watchdog including the media must be silenced. Neocon war criminals still run the show. They are terrified of Julian Assange & terrified of these hard truths being told. 
Meanwhile the Crime of the Century continues, with the greatest redistribution of wealth in history barely reported. They blame Covid19 for this now but it's been going on for years. It wouldn't be possible without a totally supine media.
Like Julian Assange says, censorship is always a sign of fear, a sign of weakness. It is a flashing red light that screams for attention.
In order to #FreeASSANGE we must understand WHY he has been silenced. It's not good.

UPDATE: BBC radio talks to @khrafnsson who has to explain what story the interviewer is referring to, since listeners would not know. Still no story on @BBCnews. Where are the media demands for a UK govt response?
