I know how journalists can take what you say, twist it around, and then write
down stuff you supposedly said that will make you sound like an idiot.
But I expected actual journalists to have some more weight in the paper,
Do the editors really modify articles without letting the reporter have
another look at the edited piece? If this is the case, it's a really lame
practice, especially when it appears the editor doesn't know the material
himself (or herself).
After all we're not talking here about last-minute breaking news, but rather
an article planned in advance.
