Is it really a mystery why people turned on assange?

In his later years his work became similar to that of breitbart, James okeef, and tucker Carlson. Regardless of what one thinks of those, There’s no question that their publications and intentions are extremely slanted.

No surprise most of the country dislikes him

You mean Wikileaks released info that was incorrect, or just that they released info that makes people you support look bad?

Remember this?

> “We do have some information about the Republican campaign,”

And then they never actually released it.

Hard to put out useful info on Trump when the Democrats already had the Steele Dossier, Russian pee tapes and other fake things out in the news cycle, to go along with the Access Hollywood tapes which were real and quite sensational as well. If you read about the info Wikileaks had on Trump it just wasn't sensational enough for anybody to care.

All the good stuff on Trump (along with some good dirt on down ballot Republicans and Democrats) was leaked through DC Leaks.

Are those the only possible reasons you can imagine to dislike or mistrust a source of information?

The sad reality is the people who hate Assange most now are the ones who loved him for Collateral Murder, because it was damaging to their enemies. Once he released information that was just as accurate, but damaging to their political allies, all bets were off.

Those are the facts.

I don’t even know what the “collateral murder” video was until googling it just now, so… err those facts mentions are “alternative facts”. A lot of Millennials (many of whom are disgusted by assanges selective war against democrats) were occupied with college and less tuned into politics other than being anti Iraq war and disliking bush. But facts smacks!
