That Guardian's treatment of Assange has been awful. I collected a bunch of attack-pieces and lies about Assange published by them here: https://theguardian.fivefilters.org/assange/
THIS. I believe the Guardian is good on some topics, but after their treatment of Assange stories I find it very hard to read anything they publish.
That doesn't even include their recent ridiculous phony Assange Manafort meeting they still haven't retracted.
