'Biden is demonstrating with his trip to Saudi Arabia and Israel and with his lack of response to police attacks on press within the United States that he takes no issue with emboldening attacks on press freedom.'
Joe Biden is visiting Saudi Arabia and Israel, two countries whose governments have made headlines for murdering journalists.
This trip demonstrates that while officials of the Biden administration often pay lip service in support of press freedom, they will let governments off the hook for high profile murders of journalists if those governments help the United States maintain regional influence. It may be hard for some to admit that the U.S. government disregards press freedom in order to maintain international power, but for those of us who have been following the trial of Julian Assange, it comes as no surprise.
U.K. Home Secretary Priti Patel has approved extradition and Assange's legal team has filed its High Court appeal to stop the extradition. Time is running out for journalists in the United States to speak up before this attack on our rights is finalized.
