The idea that Assange is a “bad guy” for doing what journalist are supposed to do is what gets me heated. He didn’t do anything other than report the facts. Sure he is kinda weird and has some iffy past choices (wasn’t he a creepo to some women at or something, I don’t recall) but the point of him doing nothing other than getting important information out to the masses is somehow “bad” is just bonkers. Worst still, I find it so saddening that entire “media class” and most “popular journalists” just utterly left him out in the cold when they usually circle the wagons to “protect their own”.
