intentional misquotes are fun too.
Ya. One time in English class, my instructor gave us an example on a local newspaper. They were interviewing someone in the education department. Anyway, they asked her if she supported sex ed in public schools, and she responded something along the line of "yes, I support sex education... something something... to help fight against spread of std's and... blah blah blah."
Anyway, she basically said that she supported better education on the issue so that children are less vulnerable to std's and teen pregnancy. We then got an article by some religious organization with a big headline "She wants to teach our children on how to have sex!"
Interesting on how many different ways you can misquote or misrepresent someone.
