Yes, true. But it was unnecessary for the story-- it added nothing. I'm sure the author had many more quotes from many of the subjects, yet not all were chose

Yes, true.
But it was unnecessary for the story-- it added nothing. I'm sure the author had many more quotes from many of the subjects, yet not all were chosen to print.
- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoSelecting quotes for a nonpolitical story based on political considerations would be terribly agenda-driven journalism.
- mynameishere 7y agoBut that's why the quote was included. Who are you arguing with? Newspapers do this sort of thing all the time. If some source used the phrase "latest Obama atrocity" the NY Times would never use that phrase--unless they framed it in a way to destroy the person making the quote. I don't get upset about this. It's just how journalism is.
- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoI don't think that's true, although I unfortunately don't have any good ideas for how to prove it.
