Is anyone watching this? It's pretty original and interesting experience. It's very personal and "ordinary", without the shownmanship and pretense of formal news interviews, like a few guys sitting around a table, maybe even having a beer. There are also less of the media's usual taboos.

* Episode 1: Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Hezbollah. Excellent interview, great to see a "rebel" Arab leader given an opportunity to describe and justify his policy, also has questions on his support for Syria and his Theism (strange question at the end from the I would guess Godless Assange).
* Episode 2: David Horowitz vs. Slavoj Zizek. Debate between a hysterical neoconservative and postmodern communist. Predictable but a bit pointless. Look into the writhing, scarred depths of the conspiratorial winger's brain at your own risk.
* Episode 3: Moncef Marzouki, the new democratic President of Tunisia. Very good, on torture, censorship, Guantánamo, Syria, on going from human rights activist to political leader.

[mb edit: this show is of superior quality and I thereby move it to the media section for all time]

I watched this, Nasrallah wouldn't answer a single question directly.

Edit: Why does Zizek keep rubbing his nose? Is he on blow or something?

He does that when he's nervous.

I've always found Zizek physically repulsive and verbally incomprehensible (What's his point in anything he says?). #WoudLikeToLikeHim

I like that Assange isn't going away, this format is very smart. Zizek gets more interesting all the time.

I love Assange, really hope that Obama doesn't drone his ***, I would be very conflicted.

Blue Pupper - Come to think of it, a Terrorist drone attack in central London ordered secretly by the President of the United States of America really I think would do a lot of good in terms of getting people to understand what their government is doing overseas. It would work best if there were some regrettable collateral damage.

Probably. Then again, plenty intellectuals snort coke: Not a big deal, really.

My friends tell me I met Assange when he was part of the RMIT hacker/nerd scene like myself. But I cant remember him, knew the crowd he was running with, we looked down on their ego manic hacker ways, as the old school nerds (like we were 2 years older but we connected to a different era).
