True, they are not a news organisation in the common sense, they are a leaks organisation which comes pretty close however.

> especially when they released campaign emails during the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election

As a leaks organisation this is what their job is about: leaking information, emails this time.

Was Wikileaks biased on what they released? Probably, but to my knowledge they did not release anything false - this would be similar to prosecuting say the guardian people for publishing the Snowden leaks, after all some would consider them "left wing" and "biased". I believe that especially America that was founded on the principle of freedom should take the principle of free speech more seriously.
