I thought he was like one of the most important whistleblowers of our time exposing war crimes and shit. Some of you don't wanna see him live another day, why is that?

You’re too used to people making attacks. That’s not what I was trying to do. I was asking questions. I don’t know how much of RTs funding comes from the state, and I don’t even know if they run commercials.

I don’t know how RT is funded, and I’ve never watched it.

100%? That’s 100% control.

is not innocently asking questions.
but it does not matter.
even if RT was 100% a puppet and they employed assange to interview people and speak truth, that doesn't make him a russian asset
it was one of the least significant things he ever did in his long career... and he had some really good interviews...
