You didn’t do anything wrong. If people misconstrued what you said, then there’s nothing you can do about it. Besides it happens all the time. It’s the media.

And your post makes no mention of the cash that you’ve made out of it … Why not work out how much you made from it and then donate 100x that much to charity as a sign of how much you value your integrity.

Hooray for journalistic integrity!

What a relief.

I was worried we had forgotten.
