  Ignorance might be bliss, but I urge you to consider that maybe your state media is lying to you.

    I am not American nor Russian. I don't care about world news. I only replied to this post because ycombinator has been showing political news being on front page lately and that is irritating. The comments shows how blind the Americans are on how people view them. It so sad to see how a country cheers on the destruction of lives of another country just to sell weapons and oil. I hope ycombinator bans or outright delete this kinds of post.

      This isn't an American view, this is a rational view shared by most of the worlds nations where journalists aren't routinely jailed.

        They are not jailed because they follow the propaganda of each nation. Journalism is dead in this generation. Julian Assange is in jail for not following the propaganda.

          Your explanation hinges on that journalists in China, Russia, North Korea, etc are stupid, and none in western nations are. Even if the simple explanation is that it's not a concept that occurs. And no, Julian Assange isn't a journalist, nor was he jailed for journalism. I applaud some of the things he did, and I don't agree with all legislation, but he clearly broke the law (regardless of how we feel about the greater good).
