It annoys me when someone gets interviewed, and they make intentionally vague comments to avoid leaking non-public information, and the interviewer fills in the blanks with whatever they think will generate the most clicks, wildly misrepresenting the statement, and giving it a completely different meaning than the interviewee intended.
- interestica 6y ago> It annoys me when someone gets interviewed.... I disagree. I think interviews are critical tool of discourse! (I'm kidding...to your point) I think it's extra prevalent now when there is so much video media that users want to get summarized for them. It takes longer to watch a video than to read a summary from someone whose viewpoint I already align with to make a judgment about the video. This discussion about citation/quoting/primary sources makes me recall university days when (as a student of history) I tried to cite a DVD as a source. But, the professor's required Style guide made no provisions for the media type. Thus, there was pressure to either quote from a book (either written by the person being quoted or from a secondary source quoting the person) rather than transcribing the quote from the visual source I was verifying myself: literally seeing the person I was quoting say the exact words.
