No, no where near the same extent
They reported what they were told happened, the bathroom picture was a clean bathroom, they didn't go on to link him tenuously with Saddam Hussein.
Have you lot seen Journalists digging up information on people? The original story probably had him leaving the toilet seat up, the journalist has reported it as smearing **** on his wall. It's laughable how people lap things like that up without applying any sort of critical thinking, why would he smear **** on a wall? He's smart enough to create Wikileaks but he can't use a toilet?

It's called a dirty protest. Not uncommon in prisons, and other places where people are confined for long periods of time. The incident was verified by embassy staff, this is not hearsay.
No no, you don’t get it.
In this situation where there are only two sides of a story with biased views, we must believe the accused ‘rapist’ because he hurt the libs.
When neither side are trustworthy for various reasons, it’s fine to suspect... but to flat out deny things because conspiracies tell them to is laughable. Like youd rather believe this confirmed narcissist over someone who tried to give him a chance?
He looks like a spoiled little incel to me, which is funny because it’s a paradox.

Let's all keep in mind that Assange is not a whistleblower; he simply provided an information clearing house for genuine whistleblowers. I support whistleblowers, and I think that what happened to Manning was utterly horrific. But Assange is no Manning.
Manning's case is a classic example of why we need stronger protections for whistleblowers. Assange's case is a classic example of why people shouldn't be able to hide behind spurious claims to journalism while taking advantage of whistleblowers.
It's easily verifiable because the Ecuadorian embassy staff took photos, which they have already shared with the media. Assange's lawyers have confirmed the existence of the photos.

He wasn't actually accused of rape by either of the victims, they both actually like the guy and one of them let him stay with her for a week after the incident happened, but let's just slap on the rapist label. It's definitely not the US putting political pressure on Sweden because he exposed war crimes. None of you are literal NPC's honestly.

Stop talking ********
Oh look, the ridiculous 'NPC' line, yawn. We know what sites you hang around then.
Which client is that, the one where the condom ripped during consensual sex or the one where he lived with her for a week after the consensual sex?

You just said he hasn't been accused of rape, and that's the alleged victims, lawyer, totally debunking your claim.
She didn't at the time, they just wanted an STD test, Swedish prosecution refused to drop the case because they said he had unprotected sex with them. I mean maybe after the fact one of them decided to follow up with the case for some $$$ reason $$$?
In all seriousness, does it not seem slightly suspect that this is all happening after the fact? His lawyer said he's happy to go to Sweden and go to trial but he didn't want to be extradited to the US for obvious reasons. That seems entirely reasonable. It's impossible for him to clear his name in Sweden because he'll never actually make it there.

Wrong on both counts.

If you penetrate a sleeping person who has not given consent, that's called rape.

I’m still waiting for a credible explanation of why two women who actually knew Assange and how to contact him, went to the police only to ask them to tell him he should get himself tested for STDs.

Yes it's impossible to imagine why a guy who exposed war crimes by the US government is currently the victim of a character assassination. It's almost as if people expect the CIA to be sat around on their arses drinking coffee and not conducting operations to demonise an enemy of the state. I wonder how much it would cost to pay off a few Equadorians to exaggerate a story about him.

Why would he make stuff up? I don't know, maybe to get some sort of benefit from the US, trade related, money, aide, maybe a personal bribe; endless possibilities really. He may be exaggerating some partial truths. Look at the actual questions the BBC is asking, they're very leading questions - as if they already know the outcomes and are just giving him a reason to say what he wants to say.

but he could have just booted him out anyway and said he was a moocher who couldnt stay there forever...why make stuff up about dirty protests
