That this article -- which everyone knows is false -- not only remains on the Guardian site, but remains there without any retraction or even Editors' Note, tells you all you need to know about the Guardian under @KathViner. They are 100% willing to lie if the target is right:

Relatedly: that the most hated person in US corporate media circles is the one who has broken the most major stories -- Julian Assange -- tells you all you need to know about the US corporate media. It's bizarre, but what they hate most are journalists who break huge stories.
Please remember -- as solemn and sanctimonious videos pass through your social media feed of western officials and think tanks condemning Bad Countries for assaults on press freedom -- that the US/UK continues to imprison Assange for publishing, with most of the media supportive.
There was one TV host in corporate media who had the courage to make it a cause to denounce the persecution of Julian Assange, and who devoted show after show to arguing that he should be pardoned, and -- quite revealingly -- that is the TV host most hated by corporate media.
Tellingly, there was only one place on all of television where one could go to denounce and work to end the greatest attack on press freedom in years: the persecution of Julian Assange for the crime of publishing highly relevant documents.
