Maybe your statement is evidence that it is too easy for those in power to tarnish the reputations of those which seek to curb their power

  That might explain why he's portrayed as such. I doubt anyone twisted his arm to force him to do his own show on RT (The state sponsored Russian Breitbart) however.

    What is wrong with that?

      With being on RT? Even allowing yourself to be interviewed on RT is discrediting. As I said, they are a Breitbart-esque state controlled propaganda arm of the Kremlin. Steven Segal did this before, when he needed some spotlight: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2014/oct/30/rt-russia-todays-six-most-memorable-moments https://www.theguardian.com/media/2014/oct/30/rt-russia-toda...

        Even if it is discrediting, which is debatable even if you agree RT is corrupt (and the largest western media outlets are not?), honestly would you not expect Assange to partner with foreign states which can offer support? He is having his life ruined on what looks to be pretty obviously bullshit charges, that no nation state would pursue in the way they are if it was not for Assange being seen as a persona non grata of the west.
