Julian Assange To Host Talk Show

An anonymous reader writes "Julian Assange has announced he will host a talk show: 'Through this series I will explore the possibilities for our future in conversations with those who are shaping it,' Assange said in his announcement late Monday. 'Are we heading towards utopia or dystopia, and how we can set our paths? This is an exciting opportunity to discuss the vision of my guests in a new style of show that examines their philosophies and struggles in a deeper and clearer way than has been done before.'"

    Anyone with half a brain knew Julie was doing this for the publicity.

    You mean he leveraged a sensitive issue like honesty and transparency in order to gain a platform to talk about honesty and transparency? Scoundrel! Rapscallion!

    I have yet to see any reason Assange is accorded any level of respect from certain quarters of the international community.
