As it is possible to be biased and misleading while still only saying true things, I think it’s possible to be both "the most hard-hitting journalist of the past decade"[0] and “foreign actor with a website collecting and publishing secrets to injure the enemies of Russia”.

Likewise, I am of the opinion that the attempted extradition and prosecution for the sex offences would not have happened if he hadn’t upset the wrong people, while also being of the opinion that he did the crimes.

[0] That’s said, I wouldn’t describe him that way. Plenty of other journalists doing fine work.
