(What a horse's ass)
Assange, who briefly hosted his own talkshow on the state-owned
television network Russia Today, has long had a close relationship with
the Putin regime. In his interview with la Repubblica, he said there was
no need for WikiLeaks to undertake a whistleblowing role in Russia
because of the open and competitive debate he claimed exists there.
“In Russia, there are many vibrant publications, online blogs and
Kremlin critics, such as [Alexey] Navalny, are part of that spectrum,”
he said. “There are also newspapers like Novaya Gazeta, in which
different parts of society in Moscow are permitted to critique each
other and it is tolerated, generally, because it isn’t a big TV channel
that might have a mass popular effect, its audience is educated people
in Moscow. So my interpretation is that in Russia there are competitors
to WikiLeaks.”
