You are right. The article leaves out important information, e.g., the fact that a wide range of politicians around the globe (more than 60 from Australia alone) and from a wide range of the political spectrum demand Assange's release, let alone journalists and human rights groups.
Unfortunately, there are many communities here on Lemny with that approach - if they disagree, it must be a smear campaign. A friend of mine recently called that the 'Trumpean I-am-right-and-everyone-else-is-wrong-approach'. I said it's maybe a glimpse of the culture of debate we can expect from the future.
