Flagged.
Primarily because Julian Assange is little more than a publicity whore and this latest move is just more evidence of that truth. He's little different than the Kardashians of the world. Moreover, I just don't see how him starting a talkshow is at all "newsworthy."
[Edit] Now that the inevitable down-voting has begun, I'll just comment that when I flag a post, I feel it's reasonable to leave an comment as to why I flagged it. FWIW, I could have just flagged it and let it go without taking the negative hit.
- Estragon 15y agoYou're not being downvoted for flagging. It's for not meaningfully contributing to the conversation.
- bcrescimanno 15y agoIn most cases, I'd agree. But when my flagging corresponds to assaulting someone who many around these parts see as some kind of folk hero, I'm not surprised when some downvotes come simply from people annoyed at me for calling Assange out for being a publicity whore. That said, my guess is any upvotes are simply people agreeing with me as well.
- rbarooah 15y agoOne reason for the downvotes may be that you basically just called him names, rather than making a reasoned point.
