Whenever the media gets involved things can go wrong. After a television interview I got the shock of my life to see that what I said had gotten horribly distorted by the editing. What came out did not remotely resemble what I said. I managed to get a retraction but you can bet no one paid as much attention to that as to the original. Having seen and experienced this kind of thing first hand I now take more care with what I say on camera. I suppose I should take more care here as well. B because of the nature of our post we get a lot of confusion as it it is. Let the media get hold of it and who knows what will happen.
