Never, ever consent to a media interview without making your own audio recording, or better, your own video, to hold them accountable.

The reporter wanted to create controversy where there was none – and proceeded to craft a fiction story by selectively taking quotes from each person and then putting them together in a certain order to create an image that was utterly false. Was pretty amazed at the brazenness of the journalist (shouldn’t that be in quotes?)
