I can honestly tell you that no one thought they were they were skeptical of the source, once they were authentic not one outlet called them fake.

And report after report shows the opposite of what you claim. Right wing News is favored on almost all online platforms and much of network news

you're confusing skepticism with oppression people taking a moment to believe something from Julian assange isn't censorship, He's not exactly the most trustworthy of sources no matter how much proof he brings up but once it was clear and it was pretty quick I think pretty much everyone bought on
