Journalist prosecution

The article started by reporting on new development from Ecuador, but then summarized whole saga and omitted most key facts of the saga. Just a few of them: rape case was so weak that Sweden wanted to drop the case long time ago but was pressured by UK (probably on US account) to keep the case open (turned out later that the rape case was just a placeholder until US builds a spy case, as Assange said from the start), CIA spied on Assange in Ecuador Embassy, UK judge justified it by citing debunked CNN report based on CIA spying, US blocked loans to Ecuador unless they deliver Assange, main witness against Assange in the US case admitted he lied... and many more. US simply wants him for revealing true information, many embarrassing things about US politics, no lies were ever found in Wikileaks reporting. In other words, US and UK prosecuting a journalist for publishing truth.
