However, the references made in the documentary to Naomi Wolf’s position were not only erroneous but utterly distorted for the viewers.
Instead of directly interviewing Naomi Wolf – or source the information about Wolf’s opinion on her publications – the documentary makers let a media researcher from Stockholm University, Anja Hirdman, provide explanations – such as a view that American “left intellectuals” are so focused on the US war enterprises abroad that their attention towards debate on sexual issues is “put in a shadow” – as positions attributed to Wolf in the editing of the documentary.
This was a complete misrepresentation of the participation of Naomi Wolf in the international debate on the abuses and irregularities in the Swedish case against Julian Assange.
I warmly recommend the reader to study this unique article by Naomi Wolf in Professors blogg Karl Rove, Sweden, and the Eight Major Aberrations in the Police Sex Crime Reporting Process in the Assange Case, as well as in a related issue the guest article by Attorney and journalist Andrew Kreig Karl Rove’s Swedish Connections: The Controversy and the Facts. (Andrew Kreig is a respected American human rights advocate and Director of the Washington-based Justice Integrity Project. He is as well a columnist on Professors blogg).
The tone adopted by the Swedish Television documentary in misleading the Swedish viewers on these crucial international expert reports criticizing the legal management of the Assange case is unacceptable by any journalistic or ethical standards. And it shows that this documentary is merely a continuation of the known smear campaign against Assange and WikiLeaks so firmly stirred both in the Swedish mainstream media and in social-media by Swedish journalists from militant feminist cohorts and instigated by Swedish LGBT politicians.
If you are a Swedish reader you will have been able to see the misrepresentation of Naomi Wolf’s theses in the documentary for yourself here. Viewers outside Sweden have been prevented by the State-owned television network from seen the documentary “for legal reasons”. This in spite that other documentaries about Julian Assangee produced by the same network have been released by SvT for their international viewers.

I don't know if you have been reading all the documents in the Assange police investigation. I have. And I can promise you there has been no rape. Both women say that they had sex with Mr Assange with full consent. A witness – who also is a friend of the woman who is now accusing Mr Assange of rape – tells how he met the woman in a local shop as she was shoping for breafast. She was happy and bragging about that she had Mr Assange in her bed. Later she found out that Assange also had a relation with another woman and BOOOM suddenly she realised that she had been raped. Hmmmm..case closed you could think….But not here in Sweden. This is the Saudia Arabia of feminism. Men are worth nothing and just there for women to play with, to put in prison as soon as a woman regrets that she had sex with you. Thats Sweden for you!
