Assange case: Key witness admits he lied

I don't see much astroturfing here outside the US at least.

Wikileaks just became a source you wouldn't quote anymore because Assange became an obvious and offensive puppet of a secret service.

He killed it himself. Before that WL was quoted by reputable journalists. They've taken the stuff serious. It's been part of the discussion.

Now it'll never be that again.

> obvious and offensive puppet of a secret service.

This is the result of astroturfing. You don't even need a reference, you can just say this, and people accept it.

True, although this has little to do with the issues of fair trial and trial coverage.
