The failure on the part of establishment media to defend Julian Assange, who has been trapped in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London since 2012, has been denied communication with the outside world since March and appears to be facing imminent expulsion and arrest, is astonishing.

It would turn leaks and whistleblowing into treason. It would shroud in total secrecy the actions of the ruling global elites.
