Do you call wikileaks a journalistic enterprise? What journalism are they performing?
Letting people upload troves of information, and just dumping them to the public without going through and vetting them, isn't journalism in my book. He's a journalist in the same sense that a data breach dumped on pastebin is a news article.

And they have a stellar record of publishing 100% true information, unlike some other major jounralistic media. The fact that some journalists are so vehement against Assange imho proves that he s a journalist. People always shoot the messenger
