1. Those pages being turned as Assange was speaking...

the NYT, Guardian, and I think the other was Newsweek.

Is there anywhere that one can get a hard copy of all this? It was Sunday night when I found out the material had been released, or else I would have picked up a copy of the Times or somnething. Too late to get the newspapers, now.

Also, maybe I'm being too sensitive, but why did a couple of those people in the studio appear to be smirking while Assange was talking?

2. They obviously intended to attack him...

...the point about "well it's just a big dump without context, 90,000 pieces of information but no larger picture" is laughable.

If the damned media had been doing their jobs, they would have already provided context. Furthermore, what they mean by "context" is "we'll filter the information to fit the narrative that we think the public should hear". In fact that is why they are so pissed about this: it removes their opportunity to shape the message.
