Since Wikileaks is intrinsically both a journalist organization and an activist organization, I'm not sure what you expect Assange to do.

Are you criticizing how the Apache helicopter attack video was handled?

By being an activist, you are by definition bias to a certain cause. To me he is more of an activist then a journalist. He can call himself a journalist, but that doesn't make him so.

Does having a transparent political agenda disqualify somebody from being a journalist? Should Amy Goodman and Geraldo Rivera be stripped of their credentials?

And where does this "need" come from?
