"Not a journalist," chants the mob, unwittingly lobbying for the rights to speak and publish to be afforded only to a class of corporate media businesses consecrated by the state.
It doesn't matter if Assange is a hobo on a soapbox: the First Amendment protects everyone equally.

This gaggle of spies and neos ran a disinformation campaign against the biggest corporate newsdesks in the world, knowingly misrepresenting ordinary Twitter users who simply disagreed with their politics as foreign agents and dupes.

The semantic contortions the government engages in for the pageantry of a "National Whistleblower Day"—while refusing to acknowledge any of the actual whistleblowers it put in prison (such as the source of the revelation below)—are more than offensive. They are shameful. twitter.com/DevlinBarrett/…

Spotting guide for attacks on whistleblowers:
1) Extraordinary claims made without evidence (she gave information to the Chinese, he got people killed)
2) Demands for obedience to process ("proper channels!") with no consideration for the consequences

You're the @washingtonpost. Blowing open the government's unconstitutional mass surveillance program, you win the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service.
A few years later, you invite those who committed what *the courts ruled a crime* to rewrite history.
