Ur kidding right?

He’s a wanker who got in bed with Russia. Shit a large part of what Ukraine is suffering today is because he published data hacked by Russia, leading to this current global alt-right streak.

You're going to have to throw down a few more facts. Preferably with proof of some kind, not just unhinged rambling.

There is this

The messages, obtained by The Atlantic, were also turned over by Trump Jr.’s lawyers to congressional investigators. They are part of a long—and largely one-sided—correspondence between WikiLeaks and the president’s son that continued until at least July 2017. The messages show WikiLeaks, a radical transparency organization that the American intelligence community believes was chosen by the Russian government to disseminate the information it had hacked, actively soliciting Trump Jr.’s cooperation.

I don't personally know much about it beyond that.

So a magazine that is close to the ruling class of the United States writes that Assange had some emails with someone in the Trump family (who are part of the ruling class of the US), at some point. Some parts of the US government also lied to the Atlantic about it's beliefs about Wikileaks, because it embarassed them.

What's the issue here?

Why are you just making shit up to slander a journalist who has done more than the entire country of Ukraine for progressive causes and to end conflict.

He’s not a fucking journalist you drongo.

He dropped out of his uni degree and did a few propaganda pieces for Russia Today. That’s not a journalist.

Nobody who works with Russia is progressive, so fuck off with that nonsense.

Actually, he's always denied having worked with Russia, and I'm sure there's no proof for it, so you'll have to come up with something better than that.

He literally did a TV show for them for fucks sake.

You lying arse piece of shit.

Wikipedia is not proof. The sources it links, CNN and Reuters, are not proof.

Calling me names doesn't make you right.

Ever heard of licensing?

The WikiLeaks statement said RT, an English-language network launched by the Kremlin in 2010, obtained a license to broadcast the show but was not involved in the production process or the editorial decision-making, which was overseen by Assange.
