Why are you just making shit up to slander a journalist who has done more than the entire country of Ukraine for progressive causes and to end conflict.

He’s not a fucking journalist you drongo.

He dropped out of his uni degree and did a few propaganda pieces for Russia Today. That’s not a journalist.

Nobody who works with Russia is progressive, so fuck off with that nonsense.

Actually, he's always denied having worked with Russia, and I'm sure there's no proof for it, so you'll have to come up with something better than that.

He literally did a TV show for them for fucks sake.

Wikipedia is not proof. The sources it links, CNN and Reuters, are not proof.

Calling me names doesn't make you right.

Ever heard of licensing?

The WikiLeaks statement said RT, an English-language network launched by the Kremlin in 2010, obtained a license to broadcast the show but was not involved in the production process or the editorial decision-making, which was overseen by Assange.

RT was one of many broadcasters the show was licensed to. Including Youtube.

It was produded independently.
