'Assange & RT under fire as US intolerant to criticism'

Julian Assange's debut as a TV interviewer on RT was bound to face criticism and praise from around the globe - and it's done just that. The world's most famous whistleblower attracted controversy mainly due to his choice of guest and the channel chosen to broadcast the show. American journalist and anti-war activist Don DeBar says there's nothing suprising in the wave of criticism against Assange's show in the U.S., given how whistleblowers are treated there.

When you got the top US generals saying Israel is harming US interests , i wouldn't say, in reality, that Israel is on our side.

When you look at Israels constant spying on the US, leading America into a bulshit war in Iraq, the bombing of the USS Liberty, The Lavon Affair and the Dancing Jews of 9/11, it makes one wonder was Israel ever our friend. Isreal is the main reason why the Arabs hate America. Israel is a liability the US could do without.

What has Israel ever done for the US?

The problem with America, as can be seen from your reply, is that it's educational system is so bad that it turns out people like yourself who can't even handle basic grammar. If you, as an American, are still unaware that your politicians are corrupt and your media is owned and controlled by the same powerful elite, it is no surprise.

Your argument that Catholics are "not" Christians based on how they observe the Bible teachings and practice their religion is absurd to say the least. Based on any theological study, Catholics are absolutely Christians just as any other denomination (Anglicans, Lutherans, Baptist, etc...). Funny thing is that they feel the same way about the Christians you described, i.e., they are not a true Church of Christianity.

Yeah, they certainly don't meet the "journalistic" standards of any Murdoch media outlet. Nobody can push propaganda and disinformation like the Murdoch machine!

You sound just like the propaganda mainstream US media..."general consensus"? Who makes up the consensus...you?

Took control of the US mass media, banking & finance (FED included). They created AIPAC to lobby pro-Israel politicians into congress and ADL to defame anyone from criticizing the "jewish project" in the United States. And last but not least, they rewrote history so it would not appear so unpleasant.

They did all this, so the Americans should not worry about how to run their country, the jews will do it for you, aren't they sweet?

Why do you need to blame Judaism for the actions of US based banks...or Judaism....for Unrestrained Capitalism aka Gangster Capitalism.

The US is the number 1 country of imprisonment, should we blame Christianity for that.

The US is the No 1 country that practices state sponsored terrorism...is Christianity to blame?

You sound like the Taliban or the bigoted Zionist rabbis in Israel. Not good.

The Zionist are not Jews....they use religion, just like the Taliban ...to justify their criminal actions. They have made a mockery of the ethical principals of Judaism like the Taliban had made a mockery of the moral values of Islam

Are the Taliban the Muslim Zionist ?....or... are the Zionist the Jewish Taliban?

[SpringChatty]

That is a very good question. Perhaps everyone should ask that.

Nae problem daphney.

Who gives a toss if the US is intolerant of criticism. All the criticism is wholeheartedly deserved. Keep it up and have a go at the UK as well. I would love to see David Cameron cry.
