How ticked would you be?

She has her own agenda and twisted your words to further it.

Same thing happened to me once when I sent a comment to the editor of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. It was 4 short paragraphs. The first 3 were a set-up, and the fourth made it clear I was being facetious. They printed my letter, omitting the final paragraph, making it seem I was in support of something I was clearly against.

Can you write a polite letter to this reporter's bosses, informing them what she did? Reporting needs to be fair and even-handed.

Not worth your further ink on the matter. Move on to something else.

I really hate reporters as they only seem to report what they want for their own agenda even if its a lie. And you can quote me on that.

It appears PhilliesFan likes to spread misinformation because he "hate[s] reporters." In his own words, he has his "own agenda" admitting that when he speaks "its a lie." He is so brazen, he even challenged this reporter to "quote me [him] on that."

Philliesfan acknowledges reporters' objectivity noting that "reporters . . . they only seem to report."

Blast her in a Letter to the Editor.

Deer- I like the idea of contacting her boss and providing a clear explanation
of her "mistakes". One time could have been sloppy work, a second time with
her fluff-off response indicates she needs fixed; after all, it's you she is
misquoting. Trent King

I sent a gently scolding email to the editor about her reply, explaining my concerns of her use of my name whilst summarizing instead of 'Some residents'. And when she quotes, whether paraphrasing or directly, it should be accurate. "Deertick said (bullshit, bullshit, bullshit)" when her intention was clearly to summarize others statements is breaking a basic tenet of journalism. The fact that she quoted one word I said doesn't negate the context she presented.

I did present it more as a heads-up instead of a demand for action, so we'll see if there is a reply.

"Submissions may be edited for length." LOL. I'd be upset that something that you took time to 'create' got hacked into bits. Like making a beautiful cake and the delivery guy sits on it. Only you know what it looked like originally.

And I may contact the paper, only because her response clearly admits she used some jacked up conceit.
