WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange believes Americas mainstream media are erecting a demon by slanting coverage in favor of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, which he accuses of whipping up neo-McCarthyist hysteria about Russia.
AssangeAssanges comments came during a live interview with The New York Times over Facebook.
He said the recent notion promoted by CIA deputy director Michael Morell that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Green Party candidate Jill Stein are being manipulated by Russian spies is ridiculous.
Morell, who has lived in the federal bureaucracy for more than three decades, penned an op-ed for the Times in early August that professed his admiration for Clinton and vowed to do everything I can to ensure that she is elected our 45th president.
According to Politico:
Morell also suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin has successfully co-opted Trumps message in complimenting the political neophyte and getting exactly what he wanted in return with more praise even in light of his strongman tendencies toward journalists and dissidents.
In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation, Morell wrote.
On Wednesday, Assange told the Times Clinton is to blame for whipping up a neo-McCarthyist hysteria about Russia.

Does Morell give 'speeches' in the Arab world?
I looked at it again, and I think one of the phones (maybe it was #2) did reflect the stage it was just an unusual perspective/zoom. Not sure what kind of phone software may exist that lets users change the lens offset.
It is hard for me to buy into these large scale conspiracies. Conspiracies do exist, they happen all the time. It just requires 2 people planning something in secret. But stories involving scores of people or hundreds of people, all agreeing to collude, perpetuate a false narrative, and all of them stay mum... nope.
I know he's dumping on Hillary: That's a great thing. He's still a bad person.
In the Intel Biz they say that Morrell is a stooge for the Soros funded global conspiracy, maybe not so unwitting. Morrell sold his soul.
Caligula was also coddled and worshipped from a very young age and never told “no”.
A lot of maniacs in history have that in common.
