Julian Assange, a journalist, was imprisoned for exposing that the US was killing journalists. At pro-Palestine protests across the country, police actively targeted press for arrests and assaults. The fucking president of the United States openly threatens journalists on camera.
What the fuck are you talking about, fed?

Julian assange hand nothing to do with revealing the US killing journalists. Yeah, the current US government suppresses free press, it that is not even a fraction of what China does. It is absolutely absurd to call them a reliable source
So now you’re trying to deny the facts of one of the most prominent retaliations against a journalist in the past decade. How do you think that’s gonna slide? Seems like a pretty stupid way to burn your astroturf account.
And the hundreds of journalists that the US suppressed or imprisoned or killed? Those are nothing?
Okay, so provide information that proves my information is wrong. Or shut the fuck up
Asking about the basic facts of one of the most prominent stories of the past decade is the epitome of sea-lioning.
I genuinely have no idea what story you are talking about. Maybe it was the biggest story in whatever Chinese propaganda rag you mistake for legitimate journalism, but it doesn't ring a bell for me.
The Julian Assange story, which you don’t seem to know the basic facts about.
Oh, you're still talking about that? Let's pretend that is an example equivalent to what China does even though it isn't. I provided links with more than a hundred names of reporters who have been imprisoned, killed, or disappeared by China. You should be able to do the same if you are telling the truth.
The US has supplied the weapons to kill over 230 journalists in Gaza alone.
If that's the game we are playing, China supplies weapons to to Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Turkey, all of SE Asia, all but 3 countries in Africa, Mexico, Bolivia, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Russia, and North Korea. How many journalists deaths do you think that would be?
None, unless you have a source showing otherwise.
You didn't source your shit, why should I?
I’m not making wild claims. It’s widely known Assange was jailed for exposing the US killing journalists, and that the US has helped Israel kill over 200 journalists in the past two years.
You’re making a new claim.
That's a blatant lie. I can find no references anywhere to Assange exposing the killing of US journalists. He released files proving warrantless surveillance of US citizens. Post a link proving what you say.
No, sea lion. If you’re an actual human, you are perfectly capable of searching for Collateral Murder, one of the most significant releases in the history of journalism.
Okay, so 2 journalists killed. That means you were lying.
