The bizarre, unhealthy, blinding media contempt for Julian Assange

There are several obvious reasons why Assange provokes such unhinged
media contempt. The most obvious among them is competition: the
resentment generated by watching someone outside their profession
generate more critical scoops in a year than all other media outlets
combined. Professional and ego-based competition produces personal
hatred like nothing else can.

One of the more amusing attacks I heard on the radio was that, being
an Australian, Julian had to have criminal genetics in his background.
