@kravietz well sorry to say but fortunately nobody needs you to acknowledge he is a journalist, when he received 15 international awards for his journalism (https://challengepower.info/assange_s_awards_and_recognition), that Amnesty, RSF, and 25 such organisations support him and clearly define his work as journalistic, and when he is the holder of several press cards!
The fact that WikiLeaks tweeted things you didnt appreciate, or even shitty things, has nothing to do with his persecution today.
Let's not be distracted...
