Is there any evidence whatsoever Wikileaks and Assange are propagandists for Russia?
You hear this on Reddit. Is there any merit or just a massive disinformation campaign?

It seems pretty well established in a series of articles based on different investigations yeah. Here is a couple of articles of the press. You can easily find more by yourself.

So it's far from stemming from Reddit.
It was also already pretty apparent before the american election that wikileaks was serving russian interests, although I don't have a compiled series of source for that right now.
