I believe you are conflating Assanges lack of publication of Russian material with Navoya Gazeta.
- 9HZZRfNlpR 7y agoWhat do you mean by that? What I meant was that a lot of the sources for Novoya Gazeta regarding the murder of Anna Politkovskaya (as an example) who was one of their co-workers was Wikileaks. The very openly blamed Kreml/Putin. I don't know how else can I phrase it, I answered to the statement that "publish anything that would embarrass Russia". Also "Spy Files Russia" aka a national system of online surveillance. That counts too. You can call him an asset all you want and you might be right but the statement that is repeated by the media and a lot of the Americans that they never publish anything on Russia is simply untrue.

They probably had to get FSB clearance to release anything and that may have taken a while. Think of it as vaudeville for leakers.” [1] https://www.wired.com/story/wikileaks-spy-files-russia/ https://www.wired.com/story/wikileaks-spy-files-russia/
