To give the smallest amount of credit to the media, they were largely forbidden access to cover the case. Something like ten journalists were provided access with scores more having digital access revoked on the first day.
- denton-scratch 5y agoI haven't heard that, despite reading Craig Murray's reporting of the case daily. Murray said the MSM turned up on the first day, didn't bother to write it up, and he never saw them again. Can you substatiate that "forbidden access" claim?
- boomboomsubban 5y agoI was sort of wrong. The people forbidden access were mostly humanitarian groups, see https://www.commondreams.org/news/2020/09/07/not-normal-human-rights-press-freedom-advocates-denied-remote-access-assange-hearing https://www.commondreams.org/news/2020/09/07/not-normal-huma... and the full list of press members that requested access is shamefully small, see https://shadowproof.com/2020/09/21/guide-to-journalists-assange-trial-upset-by-media-blackout/ https://shadowproof.com/2020/09/21/guide-to-journalists-assa...
