I guess @Bencjacobs' "fake news" had an impact, despite The Guardian's subsequent retraction https://theintercept.com/2016/12/29/the-guardians-summary-of-julian-assanges-interview-went-viral-and-was-completely-false/ …https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/816754040641945600 …

Not basing my comments on that piece but on Wikileaks general behavior & Assange's words.

So you have no specific evidence at all to substantiate your claim. Understood.

If you look at interview cited by Intercept, very clear what Assange's reporting priorities are.

His reporting "priorities" haven't observably changed since 2010 when he gained recognition for reporting on US wars and diplomats

“Our primary targets are those highly oppressive regimes in China, Russia and Central Eurasia" -- Assange, 2010. No longer true.

There's a huge contradiction because Russia, China, etc. are no longer "primary targets" -- far from it.

When he spent 2010 focused on publishing the US war logs and State Dept. cables, did that also represent a major contradiction?
