What Assange is doing isn’t anything close to journalism.

@inklings
I think releasing the collateral murder video and other Iraq war material leaked by Manning was journalism. That was in 2010. Assange's later actions could be different. But then we are talking about a man who already knew the US was on a mission to destroy him and Wikileaks.

@mjo

And Wikileaks deserves to be destroyed. It functions as a cut out for Russia duh. It doesn’t get any less legitimate than that.
