I did NOT "tell Julian Assange to stop hiding and face his Swedish sex accusers" as this misleading headline claims http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2

Annoyed by journos quoting only half my tweet about Assange & deliberately ignoring other half. Distorts point. The curse of 140 chars

My tweet misinterpreted. Obvs I'd like Assange to answer allegations & clear his name but I understand why he's taken such drastic action

Nah, they're just being their usual short-sighted buffoons.
But I agree that not quoting her in context is bad journalism and does a disservice to the truth.
(Still think Assange is an idiot, though.)

I was having trouble understanding why someone would donate that
much money to Assange without backing him and truly understanding
what would happen to him if he were extradited.
Now I feel better.
