Talk about Julian Assange first then people believe journalism is honest in Western countries.

If a Russian working for RT is driving around the states tracking US military deployment and such, shouldn't we consider him/her/whatever a spy?

lol Who knows why he was arrested? Maybe its because America will literally trade a basketball player for the worlds biggest arms dealer.

Dont intelligence agencies actively recruit these reporter types? Sometimes owning the entire paper?

[anthonymcneill]

He should not have been there and officials at the WSJ should have known better than allow him to be in Russia, especially with the US government saying get out of Russia. A totally avoidable situation.

Why would any American travel to Russia right now? Hopefully, he'll be released, but it's unlikely any time soon

If his friends think he would make a terrible spy… don’t terrible spies get caught like this 🤔
