Reporters are very good at sweet-talking you into an interview or statement and then publishing a hit piece.

For people who don’t work in PR and are associated with anything even remotely controversial it is usually better to not talk. I learned the hard way - I said one thing, and the reporter put my words in a totally different context to suggest I supported something I am totally against.

I understand anything that comes on NYT is with a level of research and resources. But casually slipping very obvious innuendos to convey a strong opinion does not give confidence to me. I already feel like an idiot for getting too invested in this saga and now more of this. I just wish the truth comes out, that's all. Objectively.
