Your daily reminder that "in a nutshell, so-and-so said..." should raise flags, even when you're reading that line in an ostensibly reputable publicationhttps://twitter.com/balajis/status/1187151642572906497 …
IMO, the job of a journalist, when writing about any person, is to produce work that their subject, when acting in good faith, **may agree or vehemently disagree with re: the conclusions drawn, but does not consider themselves mischaracterized by.**
Of course, not everyone is acting in good faith. But some contexts are easier to evaluate than others: a talk given to a relatively large audience, transcribed, etc. vs. e.g. a private conversation. FWIW, I fully believe Balaji to be a deeply sincere person across the board.
The important thing is that the typical reader ought to be able to very easily make the distinction between what the subject has said or done, and the writer's interpretation of those statements or actions. This is an absolutely sacred line, IMO.
Anytime an article claims someone "basically" said a certain thing, what it means is, "the following statement is false."
