Get a grip

Look, I know that Julian Assange likes playing the martyr almost as much as Andrew Bolt, but I really don’t get the media attention around him.  His group has already fractured and has run out of money and is doing nothing new any time soon.   Foreign Correspondent a month ago had 30 minutes of damaging material about him and how he was rapidly becoming irrelevant.   Any new leaker of secrets isn’t going to pick him to do the job any time soon, even if he has a new way to deliver material.

So why does the media give so much coverage to the guy?  Last night on Lateline there seemed to be a tedious 15 minutes devoted to his extradition via an interview with another media tart Geoffrey Robertson.  Move on, fellas.
