Turning into a Twat

The Beatification of Julian Assange

Brendan O'Neill argues that poor Julian Assange never had a chance.  He was a creation of the media--the lefty media--who needed a saintly figure they could rally behind.  Assange was a creature of their own self-righteousness, earnestly seeking a platform for their high moral dudgeon.  Beware the person who stupidly begins to believe a fawning press who want to use you for their own agenda.  

Assange was ignorant and gullible enough to believe his own press.
