WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange responds to charges that his website presents information in a politically biased way. Assange explains that the organization provides text summaries of raw data and edits of raw video to provide context to the material, without which most content would simply "fall into the gutter" and be overlooked by most users.

  • @zigzigerblat Conservaturds - whether the defenders of corporate welfare and bank bailouts who oppose putting banking terrorists into prison for life where they belong,

    or religionists like muslims and christians and scietologists, or anti-environmental pro-fracking fanatics - cannot be reasoned with. I fully support war against THEM and killing all of THEM.

  • So someone here commented that inciting war is terrorism.

    Then that makes every soldier in the military a terrorist, because they are oh so fucking gung-ho to go to war, they LOVE it, it's FUN and PLAY for htem, and have the extreme arrogance to demand that everybody automatically be enthused and support THEIR particular cause and be forced to pay for it.

    So only a subhuman piece of shit thinks Assange is a "terrorist".

    I'm for war against fracking and factory farms. Blow them up!

  • i'm all for having "human rights atrocities" displayed for the world to see, but some of the other shit they release about the military and whatnot is borderline terrorism. they released private conversations between foreign advisors that could potentially spark war, and that is terrorism. i'm sorry you hipsters, but he's tryng to incite war. war kills people. so assange is a piece of shit for trying to get people killed. logic ftw

  • This guy almost never jokes...

    The fact that he did, must mean that unicorns, leprechauns and honest republicans must exist.

  • What a world. You have no problem believing that the writings of people 2000-6000 yrs. ago is not only true, but inspired by a all powerfull creator with insight into all number of aspects regarding humanity, to which humans required answers, but had not themselves discovered through study. It seems that those of us who can, have to simply acknowledge that a large part of humanity; with all it's religious rationale, is a lost cause to the progress the rest of us seek. God rest their soles..

  • @rorycalhoun27 ......GO BACK TO CHOP CHOP SQUARE ARABIA!

  • I can only laugh at what is being written! there is no fucking god. where is your logical and rational knowledge gone. It's all a big lie, manipulation, propaganda, like everything else in the world, wake up guys, hey listen to yourselves. the day I make a stone into bread, we can talk about it over coffee. Hail julian

  • @rorycalhoun27......ARE YOU A MUSLIM WHO WORSHIPS allah THE PAGAN MOON GOD=SATAN?.....
