Julian Assange Hit Piece In New York Times

Julian Assange was absurdly smeared in a New York Times piece by William Neuman and Maggy Ayala. The report stooped as low as making reference to a claim that Assange did not flush a toilet, as if that were somewhow relevant. The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks down this shoddy journalism.

Read the article here (the flush reference has been removed, as noted by Drew Grant in the New York Observer):
