I can't agree. First off, they say they stand for transparency. That's often synonymous with impartiality but not always.

Second, one of the candidates in this election has previously stated that Assange should be killed.

To me that moves the motivation from founder's grudge to self-defense.

Is it really biased to expose lies and wrongdoings of a person who called for you to be executed without trial?
