Reporter Kevin Gosztola is one of the few top journalists who frequently cover the Julian Assange case and its importance as a bellwether to the prospective demise of a free press in the United States. Now Russia has jailed journalist Evan Gershkovich on similar charges and U.S. elites don’t see the hypocrisy in calling the charges “trumped up” and demanding that Putin to release him. Guest host Aaron Maté and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Gosztola about the latest wrinkles in the Assange case and whether it’s possible that the journalist’s native Australia could win his freedom.
