Julian Assange, the editor-in-chief of Wikileaks, has accused media outlets in the United States of “erecting a demon,” accusing them of supporting Hillary Clinton.
He said that Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, is also “whipping up a neo-McCarthyist hysteria about Russia,” according to an interview he gave to the New York Times on Wednesday, which was aired through Facebook Live. He asked, “What kind of press environment is this going to lead to post-election?”
Assange added: “The American liberal press, in falling over themselves to defend Hillary Clinton, are erecting a demon that is going to put nooses around everyone’s necks as soon as she wins the election, which is almost certainly what she’s going to do.”
