WikiLeaks Archive — Iran Stirs Distress in Mideast - NYTimes.com
So how is it that the New York Times benefits so much from the special access it has to Wikileaks' disclosures, but doesn't do anything to defend Julian Assange against the United States government's threats and criticism. In fact, it gives full play to all the bad news about Assange - the rape charges, the blood on his hands charges - as if he ought to be run out of town and thrown into jail. It publishes long pieces that make Assange look about as bad as he can look. Then it publishes another big scoop based on documents that Wikileaks has turned over to the Times.
The Times is certainly having it both ways here. It makes Assange look bad, which certainly makes the government happy. And it eagerly publishes articles that would be impossible without Wikileaks' support. We shouldn't have any doubt about what the Times should do: give Assange a break and stop making him look so bad. In fact, the Times should acknowledge what an incredibly good job Assange and Wikileaks are doing. I don't think the Times has the courage to do that, though.
