It's good to be skeptical, but if you ignored every news sites that had ever been accused of a single act of deceptive wording, there wouldn't be any left to read from!
Having read about the controversy in question, it's hard to agree that her words were 'distorted beyond recognition'. She advocated for government centers where Germans could go to talk to a government employee about mean right-wingers, and be provided with propaganda materials (literally, she suggested these centers should provide information on how to respond to right-wing slogans) to counteract the reactionaries. Apollo News characterized this as akin to advocating for the East German practice of denunciation, in which people could report wrong-think to the Stasi. Not much of a leap!
