As a matter of fact, Julian has denied that the source was Russia. The reported ‘offer’ from the Trump admin was rejected because WikiLeaks NEVER reveals its sources.
Not that I agree with your assessment, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a news outlet that doesn’t have a bias. This case isn’t about whether you have sympathy for his perceived bias. It is about the threat to the ability of any outlet to publish true information in the public interest, anywhere in the world. The charges relate to 2010/2011 publications only: the diplomatic cables, guantanamo detainee assessment briefs, Iraq Rules of Engagement, and Iraq and Afghanistan war logs. The US’ overreach in jurisdiction is already being copied by other nations such as Russia. It’s the first amendment that’s under threat.
P.S. that Wikipedia article is full of disinformation. A New York judge actually threw out the case against WikiLeaks publishing DNC emails as it is 1st amendment protected news in the public interest. It revealed how the DNC rigged the primaries. The Podesta emails also revealed Clinton’s ‘pied piper’ strategy: she wanted to run against Trump, so got the media to boost coverage on him. She clearly underestimated him. Bernie could have won against him.
WikiLeaks’ pro-trump bias is clear from the chat log itself, no editorializing needed. It doesn’t matter if it’s first amendment protected to assist a fascist to take power. I have no love or sympathy remaining for Assange, and I was one of his fans early on, I feel incredibly betrayed as an American.
It doesn’t matter to you Hillary stole the primaries from Bernie, boosted Trump’s visibility, and still lost against him? Polls at the time showed for Bernie vs Trump Bernie would’ve won. You can thank Hillary for giving you Trump for president. But I think you’d rather kill the messenger.
Nice whattaboutism. You realize there can be more than one factor causing things? He wasn’t just the messenger, he had intent of furthering the interests of one party over another, Assange isn’t the unbiased journalist he portrayed himself to be.
Again, the indicment relates to 2010/2011 publications only. Nothing to do with Trump.
Cool, I don’t have sympathy for him due to reasons unrelated to this indictment.
