I was once interviewed about my thoughts on a candidate during a presidential primary. Without giving away too much detail, I mentioned that I was unenthusiastic about the candidate and didn't understand his sudden surge in popularity. I threw in a sentence about wanting to vote for someone I actually felt was authentic and trustworthy.
The reporter used my "I want someone trustworthy" quote (without the context) and in such a way to imply I saw something in the candidate, when in reality, I was explaining that I didn't trust him as far as I could throw him. She just tossed my line in the article right after mentioning good things about the candidate. Totally and utterly misleading.
Pretty direct and eye opening to me. That reporter went out with a story in mind and used my words however she saw fit.
