NBC’s Ken Dilanian Refers to Chelsea Manning as ‘He’ and ‘Him’ in News Report on Assange

‘He’s charged with conspiring with Chelsea Manning to hack a Defense Department computer’

EXCERPT:

DILANIAN: “He’s charged with conspiring with Chelsea Manning to hack a Defense Department computer. Specifically Chelsea Manning was an army private stationed in Iraq, he was downloading hundreds of thousands of top secret U.S. government files from the military and from the State Department and he was sending them to Assange and WikiLeaks to make public. And as part of those communications, the U.S. government alleges Manning asked Assange to help him crack a DOD password. Now, the indictment doesn’t even say that that was successful, but it charges it as a conspiracy. And this is really important, because the government has been grappling with this case for years. This was a very damaging leak.”
