This is it. It’s not journalism when you’re just a cutout for the Russian government.

The irony of all ironies is that many of the same people who complain about editorializing in journalism and media are the same ones who back Assange.

I don't want what I view as the US backed media outlets in jail either. This isn't irony, disliking something and state prosecution are drastically different.
