You know, every time I read something on Assange, I see all of these hot takes based on incorrect information and part of me is starting to think that one should have to take some kind of quiz on the actual facts of the case and receive a passing grade before commenting.
The other part of me is kind of impressed on the hatchet job done on his reputation that has led to such conveniently incorrect "knowledge" of the situation.
