Dutch National Television (NOS) interview with Julian Assange 2011 (short EN►ES/IT/NL)

NOS correspondent Arjen van der Horst in conversation with Julian Assange about WikiLeaks, the Netherlands and the US. Full and honest interview.

A long, long time ago, when your grandfather was still a teenager, like you are now, the news on Dutch national TV was still quite objective, open and honest. I know it’s hard for you to imagine right now, but it’s true. And it was like that in many other European countries, EVEN in the first ten or twenty years after our beloved European COMMUNITY for the people was degraded to an ordinairy, homogenized and fully comercialized MARKET for greedy banks, faceless corporations and corrupt politicians who just want to please those on the other side of the Atlantic.

In those times NOS and other European TV channels were still somewhat serious and unbiased. They sometimes even showed full interviews (WOW!) where they actually allowed the people to give full answers without interrupting them, without a planned script to push toward some dominating narrative and without afterwards cutting out the parts they did not want the public to see or to know about.

Since it’s so hard to believe I first gave you this small example. Now you’re ready for the full version, if you want.

By the way, they were well done, those old-fashioned Dutch human-made subtitles, weren’t they. So much more comfortable to read and understand than how they are nowadays, isn’t it? That too has been influenced by the other side of the Atlantic…
