Does his agenda make him lie? Does it have any impact on the sources, that used wikileaks?

No? Then why is it important?

You were right, it is a fig leaf for ones and a strawman for others.

The main problem, we as a society have, is a embassing lack of problem awareness! Guess what wikileaks does, i beg you.

> Does his agenda make him lie?

He accepted hacked emails from the Russians and released them in a way to effect his goal of having Clinton lose the election. That was his stated goal.

You wouldn't call it a lie, but calling yourself a journalist on that basis certainly is.

Most people who back Assange just agree with his politics and/or means to an ends. But they don't have that level of awareness.

So telling the truth at the wrong time makes it immoral?

Stories of high interest, not coming from him.

H Clinton was a terrible candidate. That's why she lost. Neoliberalism has destroyed the working class. Democrat elites too arrogant to blame themselves for their own stupidly tried to blame Putin/Russians and now we have a war in Ukraine. How's that war going in Ukraine? If it's strictly a policy to make the military industrial complex rich it's a huge success. By all other measures it's an effing disaster.

...As a whistleblower, you might as well call yourself everything you can, because as is evidenced by the degree of diplomatic murder hornet swarm you can kick up by outing governmental dirty laundry, you'll need all the help you can get.

See about every whistleblower of the last decade and a half.

McAfee, Assange, Snowden... and yet not one official ousted or inconvenienced. Astonishing really.

... MacAfee was a whistleblower?
