@acastcandream except for the fact that's an absolute lie. he said - repeatedly - that they didn't receive anything about him that hadn't already been published and widely disseminated. that isn't the kind of lazy 'journalism' they do, repeating old news that wasn't that important to begin with. they have standards/criteria for what they publish. they do real journalism.

he also said, repeatedly, that choosing either of them was like trying to choose between gonorrhea and cholera. he's also NOT AMERICAN. so, not about his personal politics.

he's also spoken several times about having to be the public spokesperson for wikileaks. it was not about fame, but, he was internationally famous, and beloved and admired, well before 2016. so again, not about fame.

and of course he selected and chose what and when to publish. he was the publisher. duh. that was his job, to make those decisions.
