These are mostly opinion pieces in 'left leaning' media. All of these are known for once in a while publishing dissenting voices. I mean NYT regularly publishes Ross Douthat and David Frum.
I'm guessing the sentiment though comes from talking with the base. In a strange reversal, many democrat voters (or at least the ones that appear on online forums) seem okay with locking Assange up, while it's a common sentiment on thedonald and such 'right wing' forums that Assange ought to be free. That's what I'd guess.
Personally, I don't see this is a left/right issue.
