Everyone on this site was fawning over it a couple of weeks ago, but it doesn't do it for me.

They spent a lot of time talking about Julian Assange. Nobody else in liberal media will touch that topic cause Hillarys emails, so..
yeah liberal media is just a very low bar to get over, the lefty media i usually consume is already there on assange and have been for a while now. So not for me.
Nice to hear though, we need more people talking about Assange, especially in lib adjacent media, since lefties and libs even on this forum have a dismissive attitude about whats being done to him.
That was their goal I think - talk to the people who are not terminally online, not the inside baseball politics maniacs like us, give the libs a chance to hear outsider politics. Plus Virgil is probably the sexiest chapo so theres that (OK its Matt but)
