    “Must” as in it is the only moral course of action? Sure. “Must” as in there is something materially compelling them to do otherwise? Unfortunately, no.

    This kind of reporting would be threatened – already is threatened – because of the charges against Assange.

    This is intentional.

    The way Julian Assange is being treated in the US speaks volumes about the state of democracy in the US: people think Trump is a savior and want to see Assange in prison. You should know for yourselves why.

    Assange worked for Russia in the end. I’m not sure he started out that way, but he sure ended up that way.
