You get the name Assange from the allegations of a previously-unknown and untrusted conservative blog which does nothing of substance other than regularly attack Clinton. Forget FOX News - even Drudge Report refuses to touch this, and that is very telling.
Not all journalism is created equal, and it is nothing short of gullible to take such thinly-vetted sources on faith.

SOURCE SO FAKE.
- etjossem 10y agoMost of these stories are about the fact that WikiLeaks retweeted True Pundit. Importantly, none of them are talking to the source. Were I the source, I would take these articles for what they are - invitations to give my message a broader and more legitimate reach. Unless, of course, I am also the author of True Pundit and I know they will see through me before I even get an interview.
- rfrank 10y agoit's cute watching you continually edit your posts. why do you think "it's fake" is the only logical conclusion to someone not stepping forward as the source of the leak from within the state dept? surely it's not because they fear a response from "the most transparent administration in history" who just so happens to have prosecuted more people under the espionage act than all other presidents combined. or how people like seth rich ended up.
- etjossem 10y agoWhy do you think "it's real" is the only logical conclusion to a quote appearing in a right-wing hit blog and nowhere else? It is a weighty accusation which should be taken with healthy skepticism rather than on faith. In the absence of any sort of journalistic integrity behind the outlet, I'm more inclined to believe it's a play for clicks and outrage.
