Guardian journalists continue to joke and troll about Assange on TwitterArchived Message

Anyone with Twitter should check yesterday's droll tweets from Marina Hyde (@MarinaHyde) and Nick Cohen (@NickCohen4). The UN's Nils Melzer and Assange are all good for a joke, a supporter is a "wikileaks cultist" etc.
Callous lack of empathy and immature defensive escape into sarcastic humour ... from The Guardian's top journalists. But, as bullies and mobbers are wont to say, it's all "only a joke".
Interesting exchanges with lawyer Hanna Jonasson @AssangeLegal and with @Jaraparilla

Retort from @WiseUpAction:
"[Melzer was] referencing a report which details a campaign of public smear and defamation towards Assange from multiple areas over a number of years. How did that Paul Manafort story check out? Or was that a joke too?"
Meanwhile, Christine Assange at @AssangeMrs is proving to be on-point and feisty, not afraid of taking on Jeremy Hunt, who shows pathalogical lack of any empathy or compassion in the face of her obvious distress.
Twitter's a good resource for gaining insight into the mindset of journalists and politicians.
