Stella Assange, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s wife, said the “world is watching” her husband’s extradition appeal hearing Tuesday. “We have two big days ahead. We don’t know what t…
As someone who was around for all of it, nah, you are not going to convince me Assange is an impartial good guy. Sory, but I am with camp “Russian asset” and he can reap that shit.
Maybe, perhaps probably. He just so happens to end up in Russia?
It doesn’t mean I don’t believe what either of these dudes put out in the world, it just means I am not sure that their motives were as pure as so many people today seem to think they were. (Note: back THEN, I thought these guys were the good guys, many years later having seen the way the data has been handled, where they ended up, how they’ve handled themselves, I’m much less likely to give them the benefit of the doubt.)
Russia just so happens not to extradite people to the US.
Assange has always been a bit of a dick, but sometimes being a good journalist requires people to be dicks.
At the same time, some people are Piers Morgan.

I mean, we could probably get to consensus around Piers Morgan…
You say that, but he still features on channel 7 (in the first page of the TV guide) on UK TV.
I will not shed a tear on the day he dies. I will just say: “FINALLY!!”
Objectively, the world will be better off. The people closest to him will be better off. He is the worst kind of leech.
If he was to be incarcerated, his net worth should be used to finance the rehabilitation of other, more reputable prisoners. Eg paedophiles.
