Henceforth Assange will have to settle for "LOOK AT US!" Maybe that's good; if he can't get top billing he may lose his taste for it. :rolleyes:


Exactly. He has always hated anyone but him getting the attention. Even those closest to him that started Wikileaks with him have abandoned him because they simply cannot stomach his narcissism and self-aggrandizement anymore. I think the papers he worked with had to deal with it because he had the information but as he becomes more and more discredited they have come to realize that they don't need to put up with this joker ad are parting ways.
The guy has a track record now. Internal dissent in his own organization, the Guardian turned and began criticizing him as extremely difficult to work with, now the Norwegian paper bypassing him and word today (that I read earlier) that the NYT is going to set up their own submission process for leaked materials.

I am not entirely against real whistle blowing but what he does is not whistle blowing. He is a vindictive, nasty, little person who deserves to be thrown on the dustbin of history and forgotten forever.

I'd never heard of him until the thread here about his self-righteous insistence it's not HIS fault terrorism opponents are killed after he broadcasts their names, and, anyway, even if it IS that shouldn't make us lose sight of what's really important: How evil America is. It's all fun and games until someone gets stoned along with their entire family for opposing state murder--then it's just fun, at least if you're Julian Assange.

They do seem to have a strong focus on the US, it seems to me. - 30/01/2011 11:28:14 PM 113 Views
Bullshit. He's released nothing substantial on Russia or China. - 31/01/2011 01:57:25 AM 119 Views
Which is why I wonder if they may have created him. - 31/01/2011 02:20:01 AM 108 Views
...you know Wikileaks existed before this whole US thing, right? - 31/01/2011 03:50:50 AM 123 Views
If by "a few" you mean "sixteen", sure. - 01/02/2011 07:55:08 PM 115 Views
Guess it's no longer getting people killed for the sake of sliming the US and saying, "LOOK AT ME!" - 30/01/2011 11:29:54 PM 118 Views
