    That’s not true. Some people who call themselves journalists call Assange a journalist.

    Here’s the comment you have yet to substantively respond to.

    So when the NYT colludes with Russian hackers and a campaign to interfere with elections I’ll call Assange a journalist.

        Yes, and the “Iraq War Logs”. So again, get back to me when the NYT releases just whatever they can get with the express intent of harming the US war effort and reputation on the global stage.

            Sure, except journalists openly talk about how they let themselves be manipulated by the Bush White House. And they report on thousands of different public interest stories, from street paving in NY to global politics.

            And none of it includes what Assange did, except their coverage of his actions as a story.
