As someone who has worked in the media for 15 years and who covered not only Wikileaks but also the manner in which Wikileaks promptly began to be covered by the media and how the perceptions of that institution came about, I can tell you that your assertion is absolutely false. It also doesn’t help that he was accused of rape in what some American intel vets believe to be an intel operation. You may recall that he made the mistake of going on CNN a month ago and the interviewer wanted to talk about his rape charges and tell him about how much focus there is on him rather than ask about what was actually being released. I don’t mean that you have to bow to my awesome authority, but you haven’t provided any evidence of what you claim, so I’m still kind of inclined to go with my judgement on this.
