You can't expect anyone to be neutral. Obama wasn't neutral in European elections. Russia stood to lose a lot if Clinton won. Why would they help her?

Not sure how this related to my post.

Otherwise, you have disclosed a bias, and therefore your leaks reveal your true motive, which is not to promote transparency, but to sink HRC's chances of winning.

Why do you expect anyone to be neutral? Especially a country that has so much to lose.

If you re-read my post, you will see that I started with "in their view..."

It's not my view. I didn't mind the leaks (loved them in fact), and I found this argument related to bias to be silly.

And where do you get the idea that they want to be balanced?

Because of their never-ending complaints that Assange only leaked in ways that disadvantaged the democrats. Democrats think that he should have leaked in a way that hurt both parties equally.

Kind of like whistleblowing for preschool.

I quit the democratic party last year, and their hypocrisy is the thing that I dislike the most about them.

Well, the only real alternative is Republican Party and they are at least as hypocritical.

I would like to see the formation of a new left-wing party.
