Explanation Please? (Classified Information)

Can someone explain to me the difference in bringing Julian Assange back for prosecution because of his releasing classified information but it's okay for the media to release classified information? :???:

Julian Assange is not a "preferred" liberal I'm guessing, while the Washington Post is anti-Trump and anti-American both of which gives the Post "special rights".  :whistling:

Because Assange just releases data. 

No editorializing. 

The media has the power to detract leaks, apologize for them... manipulate, and be manipulated by anonymous-sources.

So whether Assange is your villain or your hero, his information is trustworthy.

Hence the media is virtually never trustworthy.
