There is an argument that Assange wants an an indoctrinated American public too, just in a different direction. The prime example is how he repeatedly implied that Seth Rich was the source for the DNC leaks despite knowing that wasn't true because Wikileaks was still in contact with their source after Seth Rich was already dead. That act shows that Assange's goal isn't to reveal truth or corruption. His goal is to seek specific political ends and the missions of truth-seeking and anti-corruption are just an act to help achieve those ends.
