The Unraveling of Julian Assange

> Here is a man dedicated to radical transparency, yet he refuses to appear before a Swedish court to defend himself from rape charges

o-k. fuck off bloomberg. A basic search finds the wider context suggesting that, no, he isn't refusing out of lack of transparency (on his part).

Also, it seems he has not been charged in Sweden.

so..

The amount of anti-Assange and anti-Snowden propaganda has been notable the last days.

What's the point of bringing this rag here? I don't see anything new in the article and there is not even a pretense of unbiased opinion there. It's like reading Pravda

My favorite passages from the article:

Even if you aren’t persuaded that Russia was behind it, there is a preponderance of public evidence that the e-mail account of Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta was hacked, such as the e-mail that asked him to give his password in a phishing scam.

and the actual last "sentence" of the article:

Sad!

it's hard to maintain relevance as a figure of import when you're shut in some embassy. his outlandish claims are a requirement of his position (attention).
