Chelsea Manning, aka Bradley Manning, has been hired as a columnist for the Guardian, Katherine Viner, the paper’s editor-in-chief announced via twitter today.
Delighted to announce: Chelsea Manning joins @GuardianUS as a contributing opinion writer, writing on war, gender, freedom of information
— Katharine Viner (@KathViner) February 10, 2015
Manning was an Army Private who is currently serving a 35-year year sentence at Fort Leavenworth for leaking classified security information to WikiLeaks. He/She is expected to write on transgender issues, war, and how to be a national disgrace…I mean “Freedom of Information” for the Guardian’s American site.
Mr/Ms Manning will not be paid to write, but I do fully expect liberals to hail Chelsea as brave hero, rather than an intelligence leaking traitor like he/she really is.
Michael Moore has yet to comment on the situation as he is currently eating a corndog while sitting on a pile of cash and criticizing real American heroes like Chris Kyle.
