Look to cryptome for what it would've looked like if it wasn't an engine for Assange's ego. The people who just wanted to host leaks left more than a decade ago.
The org admitted to pushing it's own political positions. No idea why people defend the thing. All they publish now is the result of Russian hacks.
And he's not a journalist.
- BLKNSLVR 5y agoAccusing them of pushing political positions and the saying they're not journalists feels like conflicting arguments in this day and age. It's also difficult to appear politically neutral when publishing truths that are (or should be, but aren't) existentially inconvenient to any particular person or group.
- anothernewdude 5y agoIt's not difficult. Just don't editorialise. Leaks are the easiest case. Just host everything. Which is why I mention Cryptome, liveleaks would've been an example too. They haven't done that. They've been selective, they've pushed agendas with their accounts, and they've sat on other leaks that other places haven't.
