You made the comment. People might disagree with your views - such is life. If the comment is picked up by the news - again, you said it. Don't publish things to your name you aren't comfortable having everyone in the world know. However, if what you wrote is being misquoted or taken out of context, it likely would be libel, which already is illegal.
