hello c-spam i have a favor to ask i have a friend who thinks that assange is very trustworthy and has always done exactly what he said he was going to do, and that the 'disappointment' after oct 4 is a media hit job to support the smear campaign of him being a pedo and poo poo in some short googling i linked him a couple of videos of, for example, assange with megyn kelly and he claims that assange saying that it will take a while to release everything completely exonerates him from all his supposed communications failings he claims that alex jones and roger stone being disappointed as well are irrelevant because they got hyped 'unfairly' could i please get a sampling of the assange puffing himself up so he can understand the context of all of this and why assange is, in fact, not very trustworthy

Mr. Jive posted:If you can't debunk the material in Wikileaks releases, or you can't demonstrate that the material in Wikileaks releases are irrelevant to the actual issues at stake in this election, then you shouldn't be poisoning the well by taking shots at Assange. It's objectively impossible to do either if someone already has an opinion either way because the leaks are allegedly going to come through December; you can say he isn't doing anything worthwhile but not that he lied about the releases because he isn't done leaking nothings yet. To be clear I'm basically certain that Assange has gently caress all or he would have released it already, but it's impossible to say the leaks are pointless because they're not done yet. It is however (I felt trivially) possible to point out that everyone from CNN to infowars to even Wikileaks's own Reddit were really disappointed by oct 4th's massive nothingburger, and suggest that maybe Assange had something to do with that (assange himself refuses to take responsibility for this, saying that "the media falsely reported it"). If he refuses to cop to that then he can't even tell the truth on a tiny thing and he is therefore untrustworthy on larger things This was apparently not okay and I was asked to quantify where he said oct 4 would be big, and two sentences in his rather bombastic interviews with NYT and fox where he said things would take time were held up as proof that everyone is just stupid and against assange I am not going to crawl through the hours of media attention that rear end in a top hat got in aug/sep to build the context the rest of the world clearly had at the time but I figured the junkies here might have a video or two building that context on speed dial Is that clear enough to get past this

Mr. Jive posted:Are you looking for something that discredits Wikileaks? Or something that proves we should ignore anything released by Wikileaks? There is a difference.
