The Pentagon launches an ultimatum to stop Wikileaks, but Assange gives them the finger instead. Hear the pros (Wikileaks) and the cons (the Pentagon) - in a rap-battle - only on Rap-News.
Rap News - episode 4 - resumes its lyrical forays into the world of rhyme and reason, exploring the importance of the Internets. Recently returned from his long-leave vacation in the Caribbean, Robert Foster casts a critical rhyme over Senator Joe LIEberman's proposed bill to shut down the world-wide-web in case of [quotation mark] an emergency [/quotation mark].
But - most importantly - we discuss something else which has been leaking even more profusely than a BP oil well. An organisation of ultra-inspiring infectively-courageous cybernauts - aka Wikileaks - has been taking on the Fistagon and giving that slumbering Fourth Estate a much-needed kick in the arse, reminding us how important the internet is as a tool for curbing censorhip, state secrecy, firewalls, and propaganda.
What is Wikileaks? Who is Julian Assange? And why is it so important that we know what's happening right now? Find out with your charming host, Robert Foster.
