An important part of propaganda is symmetry.
And an important part of symmetry is that it usually doesn't exist quite so much in the real world.
This is a clever use of symmetry, although it is somewhat forced.

The most salient point is that Julian Assange's villainy, at least what he has gotten in the most trouble for, is not for wikileaks, but for alleged sexual assaults. And there is a chance that these charges were trumped up, but the image isn't really about this.

In addition, Time Magazine's "Man of the Year" award isn't always a good thing (although in recent years, it has been). It just means that someone has made the most difference in the past year, whether for good or for bad.

So when you look at the facts, the neat symmetry of the image doesn't really have the content that it is supposed to.
