(Transcript in Russia-Insider.com link above has a few mistakes, for those who prefer to read... but strongly recommend watching - inspiring, and only ~14 minutes and ~20MiB)


A few quotes from the transcript:

  "Who cannot tremble with indignation at the idea that the man that blew the whistle on the war crimes is in Belmarsh and the war criminals are on the BBC and ITV and raking in millions and millions and millions and millions of pounds."

  "If you cannot tremble with indignation, any injustice anywhere, you're not a human being. You have no pulse and you have no soul."

  "This church should be bulging with journalists because if they had any intention of actually doing their job. What is happening to Julian Assange is a mortal danger to them. It's a knife at their heart. It's a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. If they ever intended to actually be journalists.

  But of course, the truth is, most of them have sold whatever soul they had just for a ribbon to put on their coat, just for a shilling or two.

  They have abandoned any claim of moral authority. These are the people that lecture us."
