Does anyone actually find this "shocking"? It's pretty much what I expected.

Why does it have to be shocking? Is that the gold standard of news nowadays? That it has to be shocking, or else it isn't newsworthy?

From the article: "This espionage operation is particularly shocking if we consider that Assange was protected by asylum"

I'm just pointing out the over the top outrage.

It would be a better article if it just described what happened and why it's bad.

Realistically, that is how News works.
