Rep. Paul Gosar introduced a resolution expressing journalism is protected by the First Amendment and that the U.S. should end its prosecution against Julian Assange.
Look, I really want a reason to support assange/WikiLeaks, I think that we need someone doing the kinds of leaking that they like to pretend they do
But the man is just as crooked, corrupt, and politically partisan, and only looking out for his own self interest as anything he’s exposed. He’s not a good guy who deserves support
Does he deserve to spend the rest of his life in prison for found his job, like any other journalist?
Are journalist activities protected by their status or aretheiy fair game for any government who wants to imprison or assassinate them?
Where do you draw the line between Assange and Khashoggi?

Journalists do not selectively leak the info they obtain and then hide the info they don’t want seen
Journalists with integrity, maybe. Too bad there’s not many of those left.
