Assange Plea Deal

NBC News;

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange plans to plead guilty to a conspiracy charge this week as part of a plea deal with the U.S. Justice Department that will allow him to go free after spending five years in a British prison, according to court documents.

Assange was charged by criminal information — which typically signifies a plea deal — with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense information, the court documents say. A letter from Justice Department official Matthew McKenzie to U.S. District Judge Ramona Manglona of the U.S. District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands said that Assange would appear in court at 9 a.m. local time on Wednesday (or, 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday) to plead guilty and said that DOJ expects Assange will return to Australia, his country of citizenship, after the proceedings.

Matt Taibbi Shares His Thoughts About Trump and the “Out of Touch Elite Media”

One can only speculate what Wendy Mesley thinks of her fellow Leftist, Matt Taibbi, deviating from “the script”:
“The media and politicians had spent so much time with each other that they lost touch with regular people, and Trump capitalized on that. He made us in the media villains, representative of this out of touch, ivory tower political culture,” he said.
“I think there’s some fairness to it, as much as I dislike Donald Trump, he hit a note, several notes, in this campaign that were true, and that was one of them.”
Hey Wendy, how come Hillary Clinton’s mocking of tens of millions of “deplorables” (white blue-collar workers) didn’t invalidate her in your eyes?!?

Is Orwell’s “Ministry of Truth” about to come online?

Pop Quiz: During the recent U.S. Presidential Election Campaign, which media outlets chose to regurgitate falsehoods rather than strive to adhere to some reasonable semblance of the truth? If you’re a regular reader of SDA then you very well know who would be at the top of that list.
This is beyond frightening if it comes to pass:

The list of “fake news websites” comes from one Melissa Zimdars, a devout Leftist SJW.
