Wikileaks Gives CNN Ultimatum

• lewrockwell.com By Alexa Erickson

On Wednesday, WikiLeaks announced its plans to sue CNN after a counter-terrorism analyst called Assange a pedophile, in an act of malicious slandering. In response, the whistleblowing powerhouse issued an ultimatum to the corporate media giant, insisting it either air a "one-hour exposé of the plot" or be sued for defamation.

The segment WikiLeaks was referring to was an interview during which CNN had Phil Mudd, the ex-Deputy-Director of the CIA, "falsely calling Assange a 'pedophile.' "

"We have issued instructions to sue CNN for defamation," another tweet read. "Unless within 48h they air a one-hour expose of the plot."

In the interview, which took place on CNN's New Day program, Chris Cuomo asked Mudd why he disagreed with Assange's denial that Russia was the source of the DNC leaks and Podesta documents.

Mudd referenced Sean Hannity's interview in his response, which he said "skirted the bottom line [of] do you know if the Russian's were involved?… not 'where did you get the information.' " Mudd continued on to tear down Assange by way of defaming his character, falsely accusing the WikiLeaks founder of being a "pedophile who lives in the Ecuadorian embassy in London."
