Julian Assange To Air WikiLeaks TV Show The World Tomorrow on April 17th

By ( ) Comments

It seems like everyone gets a TV show nowadays, and Julian Assange is no exception. A recent announcement reveals that on April 17th, he’ll be airing his own live-to-tape TV show The World Tomorrow. The show will air on some Comcast and Time Warner Cable systems, and on RT, a Russian news network available in the U.S. with Dish Network. Also, of course, you can watch it on the web. We are talking about the guy behind WikiLeaks after all. Web access is kind of a given.

According to the WikiLeaks announcement, Assange has finished recording 12 episodes, all consisting of interviews edited down to 26 minutes, the first of which is with the middle-finger wielding M.I.A., oddly enough. According to Assange, the show will be characterized by its “frank and irreverent tone” and will showcase all kinds of guests including “politicians, revolutionaries, intellectuals, artists, and visionaries.”

It’s looking more and more likely that it might be literally impossible to silence Julian Assange. Here’s to hoping the content of his first televised outing is as compelling as the show’s existence.

    Wow Comcast and TWC. Backstabbing the country? Smooth business move.

    Or rather: Censorship has no place in free speech.

    I’m quite certain free speech doesn’t trump a nondisclosure agreement, so SOMEONE here needs to be held accountable for letting the info get out.

    Besides, would you rather preserve your precious bumper sticker version of free speech that allows you to divulge anything anywhere to anyone regardless of the negative consequences to EVERYONE… or would you rather let our government do what we pay them to do and keep an upper hand on other governments by having trade secrets? I mean, by exposing everybody’s secrets, perhaps you feel more comfortable with the knowledge of what governments are doing, but what are you going to do about it? Nothing. Other governments however are going to take advantage of it, and OUR government now has less room to move because of it. Sometimes even free speech shouldn’t be a blanketed rule.

    I like how distributing information is construed as “backstabbing the country”. Smooth assessment.

     ”other governments” are being exposed too. Get over it.
    And “do what we pay them to do”? They have not been doing that — they’ve been doing all sorts of crap that we don’t pay them (or elect them) to do. We need all out exposure of all sides — keep the bastards honest!
