I mean look I get it, he doesn't like the US, because the US is after him. The problem, is he's allowed that to negatively affect wikileaks as a organization because he's in a publicity war with the US. Now the problem with that is he's just tossing any old info out there if it's bad for the US and Russia for example is easily taking advantage of that.
A simple example, was during the election he made a very big ordeal about claiming "the Russian govt didn't give him the DNC leaks". He knows damn well the Russian govt wouldn't hand it to him direct, that they would use a 3rd party.
He directly tried to influence public opinion in favor of Trump and against Hillary.. I didn't like Hillary any more than Trump, but that was pretty much the last strand of credibility lost for wikileaks for me.
Assange managed to do what no govt was able to do and that was discredit wikileaks making it a non trusted site.
