WIKILEAKS FOUNDER APPEARS ON SATIRICAL INTERNET SHOW IN MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA
December 23rd 2010 02:28
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange appears on a satirical news show produced in suburban Melbourne and broadcast over the internet.
Episode six of Rap News, titled WikiLeaks' Cablegate: The truth is out there, has been watched more than 236,000 times since being posted to YouTube on December 17.
In a big coup for the fledgling news service, the WikiLeaks founder made contact with Rap News in October, telling them he loved their work and offering them a sneak preview of the forthcoming cable leaks, thinking it could help inform the content of their next episode.
The show’s producers jumped at the chance, and jumped on flight to London, arriving on October 23, four days before a batch of cables were leaked.
They quickly produced a program and when it went to air on October 27, it contained a bonus – a cameo from Assange himself.
That episode is the most-seen to date, with more than 360,000 views.
