>I no longer hold the view that our media deserves the first amendment protection that it does. I think the Assange case is an excellent reminder that "our media" doesn't really have any First Amendment protection.

And if you challenge the DC blob, like Assange did (or Gary Webb and others), it very quickly becomes clear that those protections don't exist at all.
