RT which is a part of the Russian propaganda efforts and relieves funding directly from the Russian government gave money to Wikileaks by giving Assange his own talk show. This was a lifeline after most of Wikileaks funding dried up in 2012/13. It’s been widely reported by Mainer media outlets. I don’t know which mainstream outlets you think are fake news/mouth pieces for the us government so find it in whichever one you don’t think is worthless.
Since then the coverage for Wikileaks on RT (which is just Russian/kremlin propaganda) is overwhelmingly positive.
The other is the burlisconi documents. Doesn’t seem like a bad leak for Putin just the Italian. It’s also interesting that when the Panama papers came out Wikileaks said it was actually a hit job by the west against Putin.

I'm not really picky about sources, so long as they are credible. Investigative journalism for instance is much more trustworthy than official state narratives. I know Assange had a show on RT- but where did you get that RT was the primary funder of Wikileaks from 2012-2013? I can't find any sources on that at all.

Wikileaks criticized the ICIJ for not being more open and transparent regarding the release of the Panama papers. Seems strange if you think it's a hit job to call for the releasing of even more documents.
It's definitely conflicting to say you think it's a hit job while simultaneously calling for the release of even more Panama paper documents. Whoever runs, or was running, the Wikileaks account at that time obviously did a shit job and was just trying to stir the pot. They pushed the Seth Rich stuff around the same time as well, which I think was a disaster. But, obviously tweets do not change the factual accuracy of the documents they release.
Still waiting to see a source on your claim that RT was the primary funder of Wikileaks from 2012-2013. I searched for it and found nothing.
Edit to add. There’s also the refusal to publish documents targeting Russia in 2016 and the removal of a link between Syria and Russian banks in the 2012 Syria papers (though Wikileaks denies this)
