There's a few "facts" you might want to get yourself acquainted with.
- nobody9999 5y ago>Ever heard of the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the Pentagon papers? Yes. And the Washington Post and the New York Times also published stolen documents (in that case, as you stated, the Pentagon Papers). Assange published stolen documents. So did WaPo and NYT. So what? I don't see a difference there. Publishing stuff that's newsworthy or in the public interest is journalism. Clearly I'm missing your point. Do you think that by stating that particular fact, I was taking a swipe at Assange? Or do you not believe that those documents were stolen? Or are you trying to make some other, still opaque to me, point? Do tell.
