A lengthy piece by a former Guardian journalist now publishing through his own website, claiming that the centre-left press in Britain is a bastion of fake news antagonistic towards any left-wing figures or causes.
He obviously has his own agenda in saying this, but just as interesting is his claim that the paper's long-term vilification of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange reflects a profound hostility toward the new media and the challenge they represent to the 'status quo press'.

Assange has declared an intention to sue for libel ... if he can raise the fees from crowdfunding.
