Much like wikileaks, media outlets claim to be impartial third parties and have annoynmous drop boxes for whistleblowers.
Or you could argue that wikileaks operated much like media outlets do but got sent to prison for it anyway.
Maybe it's because wikileaks didn't direct their partial impartiality in the same direction. That's how they keep media controlled. All US major media outlets support the US war machine. That's true from Fox News to CNN. So wikileaks real crime was not being partially impartial in the right direction while doing journalism. On the mechanics Assange did nothing others haven't.
