The War on Journalism - with Julian Assange [RAP NEWS 5]

Who let the Logs out!? Wikileaks drops 400,000 classified documents shedding new light on the Iraq war—the biggest leak of classified military documents in history—sending shockwaves across the Fourth Estate. Rap News marks the occasion by inviting into the studio the former US Secretary of Offense, Donald Rumsfeld. But what starts out as a conventional Rap News interview soon descends into mayhem as the live feed is hijacked by News World Order, eager to spin the record like a disc jockey on crack. Enter Bill O'Really, the champion of Fair & Balanced journalism, dragging us screaming into the No Spine Zone. Only divine intervention can save us now, from a fate worse than death. But beware of imitators; not all is what it seems to be! Join us for a rollercoaster episode of Rap News, featuring a very very special guest appearance. Juice Rap News: written by Giordano Nanni; lyrics and performance by Hugo Farrant. Created by Farrant & Nanni in a back-yard studio in suburban Melbourne. **************************************************************************************** USEFUL LINKS: Find out more about: Wikileaks: http://wikileaks.org Julian Assange: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVGqE726OAo Bill O'Reilly at his finest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tJjNVVwRCY UN Human Rights Commissioner calls for inquiry into US/IRAQ after seeing Wikileaks evidence: http://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=10477&LangID=E Full clip of Barak Obama's words on Government transparency (2008 election campaign): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CU0m6Rxm9vU ************************************* SUPPORT Rap News so we can keep broadcasting rhyme and reason on the only remaining free frequency: http://thejuicemedia.com/donate or Bitcoin: 1HMPK1zFCLopAvNEvR3aehFU1tSvHeWkTS Download MP3 and Lyrics and find out more about Rap News: Website: http://thejuicemedia.com Download mp3: https://soundcloud.com/juice-rap-news/rn-5-rap-news-vs-news-world Lyrics: http://www.reverbnation.com/rapnews Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/robert.foster#!/robertfoster.rapnews https://www.facebook.com/juicerapnews All art and design in this episode by: http://www.visualtonic.com.au ************************************* CREDITS: This episode would never have come together but for the help and enthusiasm of the following great people: JA, Sarah, Joseph, Frontline; Mat (Soulem Prods) for tracking vocals, and Hannah for warm hospitality.
