I have seen this happen to a friend. He was active in a political party, and was interviewed by a local station which was doing a piece on politically active millenials.
They sent a reporter with a camera crew and he spoke to them for over one hour about his political views and ambitions. In the end, only a single soundbite ended up in the piece. It was a metaphor he used somewhere inbetween, so forgettable that I can't even recall it.
Completely agreed from personal experience. Not new but always worth re-iterating.
The news can't even get the basic facts right without twisting through addition or omission.
How are we supposed to rely on them when factual sources are suspect/false in the age of fake/lie-news?
Find experts. Do your own research.
