That reporter had to read past the first paragraph, where I say "no one knows yet how much" the funding market would be affected, and ignore the "How much should you lower them? We don't know yet..." immediately after the quote she picked out.

It must have felt like walking through a minefield of truth to get hold of a quote she could misrepresent.

That’s how real ‘media training’ typically goes. You have to get burned, but the learning is faster, and more sticky.

The easier reason is what you wrote is lengthy and that was the first real quotable. Find that and eject. I had a reporter tell me he takes lengthy posts, copies them to summarization serivices on OS X, then reduce down after I mentioned doing the same in a bar at a wwdc.

Did you contact the reporter or her editor?

Which is true for much of the news these days. Newspeople (and scientists) these days view possible fame over truth. Remember Nasim Taleb? He’s been losing $ buying put options since 2009 and few people remember his name. Back then everyone was reading “Black Swan”

Not my place to defend Taleb’s honor, but you kind of did the same thing Graham is miffed about. Taleb’s strategy buys protection from black swans. Like the current meltdown I presume.

NYT has a history of fake news... and nothing BUT fake news... It's like they want to avoid reality as much as possible.
