Consortium News Editor-in-Chief Joe Lauria discussed the week’s events in London with Chris Hedges.
ASSANGE EXTRADITION: CN Editor Discusses Hearing with Chris Hedges
This week I get to post On Contact, one of my favorite resources from Chris Hedges, from my favorite news source, Consortium News 
If you're interested in the Assange case I highly suggest following Consortium News where they have a wide range of coverage by various journalist and political commentators covering it. Consortium is in London covering the case. Right now the front page is basically covered with a number of articles and videos on this matter of injustice!
For those new/ish to the group, I highly suggest you also read Robert Parry’s Legacy and the Future of Consortiumnews who was the creator of Consortium News in 1995, the first Internet news source. [consortiumnews.com] Robert Parry is a essential part to what is happening to Julian Assange today! In the memorial write up of Parry by his son Nate you will find a correlation of Parry's struggle to get his work into the main stream media while covering the illegal wars in Latin America in the 80's to covering how Reagan and Bush were part of this and the Iran - Contra scandal. Leading to a transformation towards this era of war on journalism to conceal our governments actions within fake news we receive today from MSM. Which Robert Parry also covered in another article, Managed Perception, relating it to the Reagan presidency. This site is a gold mine for information on our foreign and political affairs going back to 1995. When I get stumped trying to find information on something I can often find it here or lead to it from within.
Joe Lauria was named editor sometime after Parry's death by the Parry family.
