I certainly wasn't arguing that CNN is trustworthy, only that anyone going to Russia to do an interview isn't trustworthy as a journalist. We all know what Putin does to journalists who openly oppose him.

Look what Obama did to Assange.
Are you trying to make a point? Because if you are it isn't very clear. Assange is still alive after leaking a ton of sensitive information that put American lives in danger. That's a bit different than questioning Obama and he would be dead under Putin.
I've posted about Putin and interviewing him in Russia. I don't see the relation at all to Obama and Assange. Take care.
