While dictators kill troublesome journalists with guns and missiles, democracies can afford to be more patient. But the end result is the same.

    I just read the whole wiki on assange, didn’t see anything about selective leaking or any bias from him.

    Could you please provide sauce for this claim?

    Assange is a brilliant man and a hacktivist from what I read.

          I get no paywall. I’m betting you want to stay willfully ignorant. Where do you think Assange/wikileaks got the info from the DNC?

          Try Wikipedia

          On December 9, 2016, the CIA told U.S. legislators that the U.S. Intelligence Community concluded Russia conducted operations during the 2016 U.S. election to prevent Hillary Clinton[13] from winning the presidency.[14] Multiple U.S intelligence agencies concluded people with direct ties to the Kremlin gave WikiLeaks hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee.[14]WikiLeaks did not reveal its source. Later Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks, claimed that the source of the emails was not Russia or any other state.

        This article doesn’t even mention Assange’s name.

          The point is, it was selective. Russians hacked BOTH the RNC and DNC, then only sent the DNC information to Wikileaks. Assange was a moron that did exactly what Putin wanted him to and selectively hurt Democrats to help Trump.
