He's not doing journalism, gimme a break. This guy was given the opportunity to leak russian gov. emails and chose not to. So let's not pretend he's doing what he's been doing for the greater good, if that were the case, were are the russian leaks? to me this dude is conspiring against western democracies.
- Meddled in the US elections.
Meddled in the Catalonian crisis in Spain
Meddled in brexit? not sure but was visited by Farage in the embassy, list goes on.ernexbcn - the mans a loose cannon, you only have to watch the docs about him and approved by him to see that. Narcissism one helluva drug.fadein11
- Russian leaks or not does that take away anything from the leaked stuff? And all the war crimes exposed?NBQ00
- of course it does take away when your so called journalist/leaks agency has an agenda or it's probably sponsored by a kleptocracy like Russiaernexbcn

- I don't think the 2010 Iraq video that exposed war crimes has any agenda. Why should such stuff be secret from the public.NBQ00

- integrity. Probably the lowest point was when he suggested Seth Rich, a guy who worked at for the Democratic Party and was randomly murdered, was the source ofyuekit
- the leaked emails, when in fact he almost certainly knew that they were hacked by the Russian government.yuekit
- Doesn't mean he should be prosecuted for publishing classified information, but there was definitely a weird split between the image they put forward as thisyuekit
- neutral journalistic organization, and the reality that they clearly did have an agenda.yuekit
