- DannyBee 13y agoI can't upvote this hard enough. It's almost unfathomable how much of what is reported is deliberate misquotes or out of context statements unless you've dealt with reporters.
- Frqy3 13y agoAlways make your own recording of any interview with reporters (with their knowledge of course).
- aestra 13y agoI know someone who is a reporter. She reported on something involving a mutual friend. She interviewed the mutual friend's boss. When she reported she misquoted the boss and even got the boss's name(!) completely wrong.
