        @avantgame 2341ET I think part of the problem is sloppy note-taking, no recording to confirm, and overzealous editing. I've seen all.

        @avantgame After years of bullshit attributed to me, I now only do press interviews by email. Writers hate it. But I sleep easier.

        @avantgame @saleemkhan Good journalists don't quote word for word; they select the string of 30-odd words that is most eloquent.

        @avantgame @saleemkhan Good journalists do take out false starts and interstitials. An actual transcript would make you sound like an idiot.

        @avantgame Responsible journalists, and authors, don't make up quotes. I'd say "all the time" is not close to the case.

        @avantgame @saleemkhan However, the resulting quote must be something the subject actually said. No making up bits or changing meaning.
