I don't understand where the duplicity would be in that. "The media" (your term) used documents from Wikileaks in their reporting and now are outraged about the arrest of Assange? There is nothing incongruent about that.

- kikoreis 8y agoI was going to post the same thing but I fumbled in finding the right word, incongruent of course. In general the media will protest when they perceive a threat to freedom of press which is both self interested and highly useful.
- mc32 8y agoSome in the press are alleging he’s an “activist”, not a real journalist[1], which seems self serving. The reason, they hope to “define” what s true journalist is, so that they can remain gatekeepers of who journalists are and what is news. Baffling.
