Last time I checked Assange was never a journalist. I think it is terrible what happened to him and I hope I can keep expecting that only from China, Russia, the USA and a few others, but this is false information and actually it explains the whole reason why the USA could very easily apply the Espionage Act in such a way.
Why unfortunate? They match quite well if you ask me.
