Julian Assange to host Wikileaks TV Show On Kremlin-Funded Cable Network. Wait, WUT.

Truth Warrior  Julian Assange is getting himself a TV show. What a valiant warrior of transparency! God only knows what he will be able to do with this venue! Wait, wut. It’s being funded by the fucking Kremlin? Hilarious.

Boing Boing:

Wikileaks announced this week  that house-arrested frontman Julian Assange would host a new television interview series with “in-depth conversations with key political players, thinkers and revolutionaries from around the world.” The theme, according to the announcement: “the world tomorrow.”

Today, news that the network involved is none other than RT, the Russian cable television outlet founded by the Kremlin in 2005, which remains funded by and effectively under the editorial control of the Russian state. If you thought Assange’s story already read like a pulp spy novel, none of this should be particularly shocking.

In a hyperbolic news release at RT.com, the network today revealed that the program will be filmed at the rural British manse where Assange has been residing under house arrest for more than a year while he fights extradition to Sweden on charges of sexual assault. The first episode will be shot “just a week before Assange’s Supreme Court hearing in the UK.”

And at the end of that RT announcement: “Details of the episodes and the guests featured are secret for now.” Secret. LOL.

I can’t be the only one that finds this amazing.
