So, so clever:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-julian-assange-wikileaks-trump-putin-clinton-edit-1021-md-20161020-story.html

Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks kingpin holed up in the Ecuadorean embassy in London, can reboot his laptop all he wants. But he'll still get one of those infuriating "no connection to the internet" messages flashing red across his screen.

That's because the Ecuadorean government, which has been hosting the fugitive Assange for more than four years, has cut off his internet privileges.

Why?

Ecuador officials apparently feared they were being played as chumps in a purported WikiLeaks/Russian effort to meddle in the U.S. election via leaked emails involving Hillary Clinton. The U.S. has accused Russian intelligence of hacking Democratic emails, possibly to tilt the election in favor of Russian President Vladimir Putin's alleged BFF, Donald Trump.

Might want to start a web search for a new apartment, Mr. Assange . . . if your connection ever is restored.

Yes, you do need to stop reading that stuff. Call it what is is: Party propaganda. There's no way to dress it up anymore.
